It’s business as usual with Nancy Ellis, our business administrator. Nancy is also a certified dental assistant and has helped Dr. Keith chairside for 20 years (giving her over 39 awesome years with our practice). This combination of dental and financial smarts makes her a great source of information. Whether you're walking or calling in feel free to ask away! Outside of our office, Nancy is a member of the Dental Assisting National Board. She also enjoys spending time with her husband and Doberman pinscher, although not necessarily in that order.

Another friendly face you’re likely to meet first is Billie Jo Neal, our business administrator. After 15 years with us she knows how to keep our machine running smoothly and keep us in line. She enjoys being a smiling face to greet you as you walk in the door and a pleasant voice that answers your call. We think the rest of her is pretty good too! She is ready to answer your questions about insurance and billing. Outside of our Greensboro dental office, she enjoys spending time with her family.

Valerie Ragin is one of our chairside dental assistants. She traded the cold and dreary climate of Honolulu, Hawaii to be here. She must like us because she’s spent the past eight years working in our practice. With 23 years experience, this akamai (intelligent) professional has a knack for calming the nerves of the jitteriest patients. She loves cooking (and eating), singing, and spending quality time with family and friends.

Tammy Hill is also a chairside dental assistant and our resident nature woman. When she’s not enjoying the great outdoors, she is here in our office assisting the doctors. With 27 years experience in dentistry, she is known for going out of her way to make sure her patients are comfortable. When we can keep her indoors, she enjoys cooking and spending time with her family.

When you have a question about your teeth, you can always ask Carla Smith, one of our hygienists, for her advice. She is a true professional who keeps up on the latest research. When she can escape the practice, she loves to spend time with her family, take long walks or swims (depending on the weather), read good books, and participate in church activities.

Sandi Miller has over 33 years of experience as a hygienist. As our resident athlete, she can strike out plaque, help you outrun gum disease, and score a goal for your good dental health. Outside of our practice and the arena, she enjoys learning about different languages (Elle est trés sportif!) and reading.

Lora Dombecki has a sixth sense. No, she doesn’t whisper, “I see dead people,” but when this detail-oriented hygienist cleans your teeth, she can see small, practically invisible cavities that most patients don’t even realize they have. She has used her exceptional skills to see Europe while working with Dr. Liebi in St. Moritz, Switzerland. Ask her about the skiing. Outside of our practice, she's kept busy by her six year old and enjoys reading, swimming, and movies.

Joan Weaver, one of our hygienists, bends over backwards for our patients and it’s not just because she loves yoga. Our patients always comment on her calm, relaxing presence (must be the meditation). She has been married for 23 years and has two sons, three cats, and two dogs. Frankly, we don’t know how she finds spare time with all those men and animals, but when she does, she enjoys gardening, cooking, walking, reading, and of course, yoga.
