Office Manager
Patti chose to work in dentistry when she started her first dental job through a high school program, “on the job training”. She knew immediately that this would be a long lasting career for her. She has now been in the dental office for 25+ years, and has enjoyed every second of it!
The best part of Patti’s job is that she loves meeting new patients, and getting to experience the before and after of cosmetic dentistry firsthand.
During her free time, Patti enjoys watching movies and reading.
