Throughout that time, I have acquired training in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), CPR, Orthodontics and most recently have been certified in IV sedation dentistry.

As a dental assistant, I have three goals for my patients. First, I want you to be comfortable during every visit in any capacity of my practice. Second, I want to help educate you regarding dentistry and raise your overall awareness. Third, I want your experience to be personal; so personal that you tell everyone you know about my practice. Personal referrals are the best compliment you can give my practice.

Just a side note...a few interesting things about myself: I enjoy karaoke; although I have been booed off stage several times. Get ready! I will be singing to you! Someday I would love to do stand up comedy.
