Karen
Karen is our wonderful hygienist. She worked over 15 years in her father-in-law’s dental practice and on his retirement we were fortunate to have her come here. She quickly became more than an employee but part of our family. Described by some of our patients as “a light bulb,” folks have enjoyed having Karen care for them in her kind, gentle and enthusiastic way!
