Rachel - Office Manager
Rachel started out in the dental field 24 years ago as an assistant and quickly realized that her true passion was helping patients understand their dental insurance and the ins and outs of operating a dental office. She moved to Ashland in 2018 from the Cleveland Area, with her husband and two children, for a slower pace of life, and couldn't be happier! When she is not in the office, she enjoys spending time with her family, hanging out with her dogs, and chickens, canning, and traveling!
