Lisa
Orthodontic Patient CoordinatorLisa told her family that she would become a dental assistant ever since she was three years old when she would play with her Play-Doh dentist kit. Lisa pursued her dental dream, and graduated in 1993 from assisting school. In 1994 she moved to the United States and worked in many areas of the dental field, including Prosthodontics, Endodontics, and Orthodontics. She moved back home in 2015 and has worked at Clarence Street Dental ever since. In all her years as a dental assistant, she says she has never been part of such an amazing day that helps so many people. Coming in second, her most memorable accomplishment is volunteering with her dental office in Nashville by doing two root canals on a snow leopard so he could eat properly again! Lisa spends her free time with her teenage boys and enjoys going to see concerts with them.
