She has previously worked with corporate dental practices in the area, but is now happy to be a part of our private family practice. Whitney also has experience assisting during oral surgery procedures—which will be helpful now that we are offering dental implants!

Whitney enjoys interacting with patients, helping them to better understand steps they can take to achieve and maintain good oral health. In her free time, Whitney loves spending time with her family, kayaking, painting, and hiking with her boyfriend and Pyrenees Lab mix.
