Whitney, Front Office
Whitney will likely be the friendly voice you hear on the phone and the first smiling face that greets you when you visit! She has been in the dental field for over a decade and likes meeting all sorts of people and getting to know them on a personal level. Before moving to the front office, Whitney worked as a registered dental assistant.
Whitney married her high school sweetheart, and they have been together for 15 years! Today, they have two boys, two dogs, and a little farm where they raise beef cattle and chickens. On the weekends, she likes to go Jeeping, visit the beach, or spend time with friends and family.

Away from the dental office, she and her wonderful, loving husband Ray have six beautiful children: Adalyn, Peyton, Haley, Brittany, Megan, and Houston. They recently moved to the Abingdon area and love the small, historic town. As for hobbies, she loves singing and even was part of a band before her last child was born! You can also often find her cheering on the Vols in the stands or working out with her hubby at the gym.
Tracy, Scheduling Coordinator/Dental Assistant
Tracy has been an incredible asset to the dental world for close to three decades. She studied at J.

Whenever she isn’t at the office, Tracy is married, has four children, and two amazing grandsons. She was raised on a farm and currently raises beef cattle with her family today. Other than helping others with their smiles, her greatest joy is being with her grandsons.
