Dental Assistant
Alesha started here in 2010 as a dental assistant at the recommendation of her sister’s sister-in-law. Although she specializes in helping make you feel comfortable in the dental chair, she is also excellent at helping out the front office when needed. She and her high school sweetheart have two children and a large, extended family that keep her very busy outside of the office. She is also a proud softball mom.
