Meet the Smile Behind the Scenes ✨
Next up in our staff spotlight series is Mel! 🦷💙 Get to know the person behind the smile and learn a little more about what makes her such a special part of our dental team.
How long have you been with the practice?
I have been here for three wonderful years.
What is one thing no one knows about you?
I like old and vintage things and the things the history they represent. My favorite happens to being my collection of vintage sewing machines. I appreciate how well built and functional they all are. My all-time favorite machine is my Singer 221 featherweight that my husband bought me one year for my birthday.

What is your favorite dental product or tool?
Hands-down, my favorite tool is my pro sys scaler. These sonic scalers have been beneficial in preserving my wrists throughout my hygiene career.
What do you enjoy most about working here?
I truly enjoy connecting with my patients. I love combining quality dental care with getting to know my patients and their families. I appreciate hearing and seeing improvements in their oral health while catching up since our last visit. I also have the added bonus of working with great coworkers and enjoy being part of this team. 
What is your favorite food?
My favorite food is salmon with bourbon sauce.
