She wants each patient to feel truly cared for and heard; hearing about their lives, kids, travels, jobs, and pets brings her genuine joy!

Heather believes that every appointment should result in improving each patient’s health, both oral and overall. She is always learning and continuing her education to ensure that she provides her patients with the most accurate and up-to-date information. At the end of it all, though, the most important element of every patient appointment to her is making sure they have an incredible experience and feel seen, listened to, and cared for.
