Meet Our Staff

Our team at The Dental Touch must be dedicated to the practice philosophy in all its facets. We are excited about what we do, are outstanding at what we do for our current level of excellence, and are motivated to achieve results through teamwork.

We possess high standards of quality and integrity. We are professional, yet friendly, at all times, in both our technical and communication skills. An individual’s responsibility always exceeds a specific job assignment – we work as a TEAM! All efforts and achievements are recognized, not only by tangible compensation but more importantly, by a higher degree of self-esteem and self-worth, because of continuous professional and personal growth.

Each member of our dental team is a good listener, learner, in control, confident, motivating, positive and consistent. Only the best will do from our team!
