Taneal

Hygienist

Taneal has been a hygienist going on 25 years this June! She always knew she wanted to do something in the medical field but unsure exactly what specialty until she had a conversation with a family member that made her decide this is what she wanted to do. From there she started the hygiene program at Bakers College and graduated in 1999. Taneal states the most rewarding part of her career is educating and motivating her patients to overcome their fears and to improve their oral health that leads to improving their overall health. Outside of work Taneal loves to be on the water boating, hiking, playing cornhole and sitting by the fire with family and friends! Most of all spending time with her kids! Her son Dean and her twins, Courtney and Clay! Lastly, she is definitely looking forward to becoming a wife to her fiancé Dave!

Jamie

Registered Dental Assistant (RDA)

I like to make everyone feel comfortable because I know the dental office can be a scary/difficult place to be. What makes it so easy is working with such a great caring team. I deeply appreciate the respect and kindness the Dr.’s give, not only to the patients but the staff as well.” -Jamie
