Meet The Staff
Katelyn- office manager
With nearly a decade of experience in dentistry, our office manager Katelyn is as well rounded as they come! Katelyn started her career in the field as an assistant, but she later fell in love with the problem solving and patient engagement that comes along with management. She is a jack of all trades, and she keeps our “engine” running smoothly. When Katelyn is not keeping everyone in line, she can be found playing with her dog Ellie Mae, riding around in a boat somewhere, or hunting with her family. Katelyn and her husband, Matthew, are proud to welcome their very first baby girl, Mattelyn, to the world!
