As the office manager, Montana has the intimidating responsibility of coordinating patients treatments, insurance claim processing, and the general day to day running our practice. Montana went to dental assisting school in Colorado, earning her certification as a Registered Dental Assistant. She has worked in orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, oral surgery, and general dentistry, all of which has given her insight into our patients’ needs. Her mission is to make sure patients start their appointments with a smile and leave with one as well!
Montana has an adventurous spirit. She loves to camp in new places, usually planned on a whim. Her favorite saying is “NO plans are the best plans.”
