She is very organized and has a great ability to keep the dental appointment running smoothly. She has acquired new skills and confidence since working at our office and uses those to help in many ways. She truly cares about each patient’s comfort.

She feels that one of the most rewarding parts of being a Dental Assistant is the happiness and appreciation our patients give for the care provided for them.
