Meredith
Front Desk
I am one of the first people our patients see when they come into our office. I assist them with all their appointment and insurance needs in order to make their dental care as hassle-free as possible. It is fulfilling to see patients come in with dental issues and leave happy and satisfied. Each day is different and interesting, bringing unique challenges and solutions. Dr. Shantzer loves being a dentist. He enjoys what he does, and as a result, this is a truly great place to work. I am happily married with three children. I am active in the PTA and like to run when I’m not spending time with our kids and all their activities.
Kristy
Dental Hygienist
I am responsible for providing preventive and maintenance care to my patients through thorough cleanings, records, and home care instruction. I love coming to work every day to a job I love and great coworkers. It is very gratifying to know that I’m helping to improve the oral health of my community. Dr. Shantzer shows genuine care for his patients and his team, and I am proud to work for him. I enjoy shopping and spending any free time I have with my husband and two young sons.
Maria
Dental Hygienist
I have worked as a dental hygienist for almost 20 years and was happy to join Dr. Shantzer in 2011. I have enjoyed getting to know our family of patients as well as the rest of our team. It is my goal to always give my patients the best dental care while making them as comfortable as possible. Working for Dr. Shantzer is great because of the pride he has in his team and the work that we do. I have been married for 14 years. I have three kids and a nine-month-old puppy. I am a member of the Elementary School PTA and chair fundraising. I enjoy being a mom and spending time with my family.
Shannon
Expanded Functions Dental Assistant
I assist Dr. Shantzer with patient care by placing fillings, doing lab work, and filling in wherever I am needed by my teammates. I like interacting with our patients and their families. I enjoy seeing the look on a patient’s face when they see their new smile. The lifelong friendships I have formed with my coworkers have also been very rewarding. I am a happily married mommy of two boys. My boys are my life and keep me very busy. When I am not spending time with my family or working, I enjoy shopping... sometimes a little too much!
Tara
Expanded Functions Dental Assistant
I assist Dr. Shantzer during patient procedures, help out at the front desk and in the lab, and place fillings. I have worked in this office for my entire dental career, since 1998, and couldn’t imagine a better place to be. I enjoy improving patients’ smiles, making a difference in someone’s life, and working with my coworkers who are beautiful people, both inside and out. I am happily married to my husband, Mike, and we have two young children and a white boxer named Murphy. In my free time, I enjoy being with my family and friends.
