Amanda

Our clinical assistant, Amanda, comes to our office from the High Tech Institute where she studied both clinical and business aspects of the dentistry. With the touch and gentleness of an angel, her patients enjoy how she makes dental procedures so easy for them. In her free time she enjoys going on walks with her husband and baby, playing with her cat Boo Boo, and sewing.

Lori

Our hygienist, Lori first became interested in dentistry while volunteering on a mission team to Guatemala. She is such a caring individual that upon returning to the US, she gave up her accounting career to devote herself to hygiene and patient care. Lori's patients love having their teeth cleaned, because she keeps them comfortable and at ease. Lori enjoys spending time with her family, (especially her grandson), shopping with her daughter and riding on the back of her husband's Harley!
