Molly

Front Office - Member since 2023

Growing up in a small rural community with her mother and six sisters, Molly's first introduction to the dental community was through helping her mother clean a local dentist's office. As a single parent, her mother couldn't afford dental care for all seven children, so she made a local work trade to ensure they all received care.

As a young adult, Molly began working as a medical assistant. However, she soon realized her true calling was listening and communicating with patients. She transitioned from clinical staff to administrative operations and in 2017, found her passion in sedation dentistry at a practice that specialized in treating patients with dental anxiety. Molly finds great joy in seeing patients regain confidence in their smiles.

Outside of work, Molly enjoys weightlifting, listening to music, and collecting tropical plants.
