Hello! My name is Donna, and I am one of the dental hygienists here. We often see people who have never visited a dentist before, and I do my best to make them comfortable. Everyone around here is happy to be around each other, which makes for a positive atmosphere.  I have been with the practice for over 20 years.  I enjoy talking with all patients, aged two to 92, and proud to have become a part of their lives.
