Shayna loves meeting new people, learning their history, and listening to their stories about life. She wants to learn about our patients, so she can better know how to serve them! She likes to connect with patients, so they do not feel like they are ‘just another patient.’ She feels lucky that her career allows her to work with amazing people who ultimately become your second family.

Abby enjoys working with people and plans to build lasting relationships with the patients in our practice. Abby’s priority is to provide patients with a great experience as well as make them feel confident about their smile. She also says, “I really enjoy working with my coworkers in an upbeat and positive environment”.
