I value God and family above all! I always approach every day and every patient with this thought…”what would I do for you if you were my daughter, parent, brother or sister?”  What would I expect from my Dental Hygienist?  Quite simply, ” do unto others as I would have them do unto me.”  I have been a Dental Hygienist for 30 years and I have loved every minute of it!
