Krystal
Office Manager
Krystal joined us in February 2021. She has been in the dental field for over 15 years, where she started as a dental assistant. She contributes to the success of our office by working with patients to financially be able to complete their treatment. Krystal has always been the type of person who enjoys the feeling of helping others, so she loves being part of the process of helping people smile so they can eat and get function out of their mouth again.
She is married to her husband of over 10 years, and together, they have three children. When she is not in the office, you can find Krystal out hunting (big game and waterfowl), fishing, camping and four-wheeling with her kids.
