Our Fort Worth Team
Registered Dental Hygienist
I chose dentistry because I’ve always been obsessed with pretty teeth. So, when my orthodontist asked me to come work for him, I knew this was the profession for me!
I take delight in building trustworthy relationships with my patients. This allows me to make patients feel comfortable and help them put their fears to rest.
Interesting Fact:
My favorite quote is, “Every day may not be good but there is something good in every day!”
Registered Dental Hygienist
I’m close with my family and friends, especially my identical twin daughters – who are both in the health field.
I have loved dentistry since I was a little girl. I believe God chose dental hygiene for me because I was lucky enough to be accepted into the Applied Science in Dental Hygiene Program (one of the toughest programs for acceptance).
I really enjoy how dentistry is always changing and that I get to help people and be a part of their journey in life.
The best part of my job is the people I treat. I love seeing my patients and helping them receive the best dental care possible. I also love my dental family. We all band together to provide the best treatment and maintenance for our patients in a warm, loving environment.
Interesting Fact:
Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love getting together for cookouts and playing games. God has blessed me with great people to enjoy my life with. Oh, I also love getting pedicures!
Registered Dental Hygienist
I moved to Fort Worth after college, where I met my husband, and we have twins.
I always knew I would never enjoy sitting at a desk for work. I have always loved the health field and loved being around people.
My grandfather was a dentist, and I thought dental hygiene would give me both the opportunity to have a career in the health field and also the flexibility to be the mom I wanted to be for my kids. So I got my Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene in 2000, and I still enjoy my job today!
The best part of my job is getting to see my patients and hear how they are doing! I also enjoy the staff at our office! They are more than just co-workers – they are friends. It is a group that will always help each other out and takes care of the office as a team.
Interesting Fact:
Outside the office, I enjoy playing tennis, doing photography, and love to volunteer for things I feel passionate about.
Registered Dental Assistant
I was first drawn to dentistry because of the impact it can have, not only on your smile, but also on your overall self-confidence. My goal as a dental assistant has always been to be compassionate to each patient’s needs while making them feel comfortable during each visit.
Interesting Fact:
My mom is my hero. She is the most selfless person I know. The world would be a better place if there were more people like her in it.
Registered Dental Assistant
I chose dentistry because I never went to the dentist regularly as a child, and really didn’t have any passion about oral health until high school. Because of this, I love to educate people about dentistry and help them be as healthy as possible.
Along with educating, I love talking to and connecting with my patients. This way I can help them find the confidence to smile!
Interesting Fact:
I had perfect attendance from kindergarten to 8th grade.
Patient Care Coordinator
I grew up in Burleson, Texas but now live in Weatherford, Texas with my family. I have a little boy named Bexton, and an amazing fiancé named Brady. We love spending time outside as a family with our pitbull named Theo. When we aren’t chasing around a two year old, my fiancé and I enjoy our date nights to different places. We love being outdoors camping or simply having a fire in our backyard with sʼmores!
After graduating from Tarleton State University, I was very undecided on what career path I wanted to take. I took a job in the dental field and quickly become very interested and excited about the industry. Watching dentistry completely change peopleʼs lives for the better has been very rewarding. I get to promote something I truly believe in and want others to reap the benefits of. Being invested in the excellent service and great dentistry makes it easy to convey the positive effects it can reflect on every patient that walks through the door.
The best part of my job is the interactions I get to have with patients. Getting to meet new people and develop lasting relationships is a continuous blessing. I am a huge people person and find importance in the details. Having an upbeat, personable, personality makes the job fun. Paying close attention and listening to patients wants and needs, and then being able to provide the best experience based on those needs, is extremely rewarding.

What do you do outside of the office?
I race dirt bikes with my family in my spare time. I ride a 1974 Honda Elsinore 125 and a 2004 ktm 200. Started racing cross country, then went on to race modern and vintage motocross. I love being outdoors!

I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri and moved to the area 25 years ago. I have a son named Riley who is my pride and joy!
I’ve been in dentistry for almost 30 years now and it never gets old. The best part of my job is watching the transformation of our patients’ smiles. I also love the relationships we establish with our patients.
