Our Dental Team

Heather & Michele, Business Staff Members:

My name is Heather, I was born & raised here in Howell. I have been working in the dental field since 1995 and have been with this practice since 1997. I started out as a dental assistant. When I had my boys I changed my position to appointment coordinator so that I could have more flexibility in my schedule. When not at work I love spending time outdoors with my husband and two sons camping, riding bikes, four wheeling, and having a good time together.

My name is Michele and I have been with the practice since 1992. I am responsible for the insurance billing and financial arrangements. I enjoy helping patients get the most from their dental benefits and achieve their dental needs and wants. I am married with three stepsons and a busy teenage daughter. I enjoy attending Friday night football games that my daughter cheers for and spending as much time with her doing anything and everything! My husband and I enjoy fishing, dining out, and spending time with family and friends.
