After working for other dentists for five years, Dr. Plant decided it was time for her to build her dream clinic. One that would focus on providing outstanding customer service and the highest standards of dental care. We’re happy to say that almost 10 years later, we’re still following that goal.
Our professional staff has grown over the years. Only two employees worked with Dr. Plant in the early days of the practice. Currently, we have eight employees and Dr. Plant’s associates, and Dr. Florenta Gimurtu, serving our patients. Everyone on the team takes pride in their work, and we are continuously looking for opportunities to expand our knowledge base to better serve our clientele.
