Audrey
Front Office Associate
As the first point of contact when patients walk in the door, my goal is to make everyone feel welcome in our office. I enjoy visiting with our patients and getting to know them. Our team here is committed to giving everyone the best care that we can in a comfortable environment. If you leave our office feeling like we care about you and your smile, I consider that a success!
Nichelle
Front Office Associate
Birchwood Dental has been a great introduction for me into the dental field. The staff are all friendly, lovely, and helpful. I have loved getting to know the patients and being a part of their dental care team. As someone with dental anxiety myself, I can sympathize with our patients who may experience this as well. However, I am confident our dental team will put you at ease at they take care of your dental needs!
Tiffany
Office Manager / Dental Assistant
"I have had the opportunity to spend time helping people at the front desk as well as assisting the doctor in the treatment rooms. I’ve also spent my fair share of time in the dental chair having my teeth worked on. This has given me the chance to experience dentistry from multiple perspectives. I find it fulfilling to be able to use what I’ve learned about dentistry from each of these angles in order to empathize with patients and to help them understand the processes involved in taking care of their teeth."
Hanna
Dental Assistant
"I’ve worked in a daycare and I’ve worked in a nursing home, so it’s safe to say I enjoy caring for people young and old. When I became a part of the Birchwood Dental team in Spring of 2022, I was able to help patients of all ages achieve a healthy smile. That’s what I love most about working here!"
Tyler
Dental Assistant / Sterilization Tech
"I like working at Birchwood Dental because the staff is so friendly. Everybody made me feel right home working here. I like working with the assistants to clean the operatories, sterilize equipment, and keep supplies organized."
