Elva – R.D.H.
Elva has always wanted to be in the dental field. She just didn’t know what direction it would be. Having been at our practice for nearly 23 years, she feels her patients are more like friends and family.
“I love to hear what has happened in my patients’ lives since their last appointment. They tell me a lot and I love that aspect of my job!”

She takes pride in her dedication to patient education and supports our practice’s mission to share the latest research and technology.
When she is not at work she enjoys spending time with her family and friends. As a single parent, much of Elva’s life has been dedicated to her two amazing children. Her daughter is now studying neuroscience at Michigan State University and her son plays hockey at his high school, where he is currently a senior.
Tiara – R.D.H.
I entered the profession of the dental hygienist because I believe that, along with the right home care, I can help everyone have a healthy beautiful smile.
What I find rewarding in my work is building relationships with my patients so they trust me to provide the best care and advice uniquely suited to them.
I treat each patient as if they are part of my family. Of course, I want the best for my family so my patient will always get the highest quality of care.
I’m a wife, a mother of 3 adult children, and a grandmother of two. We have lived in 4 different countries and traveled to many amazing places. I enjoy learning about different cultures. My hobbies are photographing, traveling, and walking my dogs.

When she’s not at work, Kristin enjoys shopping and spending time with her family and friends. In the summer, she loves to travel up to Mackinac Island. In fact, she’s been there over 20 times! Come visit our office and meet Kristin for yourself
