Stephanie
Stephanie has been in the dental field since 2004 and loves helping people and making them feel comfortable. “We are all human and we all deserve to have a beautiful smile,” she says. Stephanie understands the fear that clients face when getting in the dental chair. Having experienced that same fear herself, she works to provide the best care possible by actively listening and asking questions. In her free time, Stephanie enjoys spending time with her three young boys and her dog. She also enjoys listening to her favorite music (especially Journey, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, Kate Bush, and the Rolling Stones), and riding motorcycles with her father every November in Galveston for the Lone Star Rally.
