Davina
As the front desk coordinator, I'll be the first person you see as you enter the office. I know the dentist's office is not the favorite place for many people, so I make sure you feel comfortable and welcome as soon as you walk through the door. I have been with the office for seven years.
Michelle
I'm the liason between the doctor and the patient. I help with questions, scheduling and sequencing your dental visits. I love getting to know people and this helps me to help you get the kind of dentistry you would like to have. I have worked with Dr. Newell's office for the better part of 14 years.
Dianne
I've been a registered dental hygienist for 34 years and 21 years at this practice. I graduated from Michigan State University and also spent time there as a instructor. My focus is on helping patients with gum disease get healthier.
Kathy
I'm also a registered dental hygienist. I am a graduate of Old Dominion University. Upon graduation I received an award for being the best clinician in my class. I have been in the dental field since 1991, and I'll be helping you maintain a healthy mouth so you will look and feel your best.
