Stephanie – Hygienist

• Graduated from Central College (B.A. Education); Hawkeye Community College (Dental Hygiene – with honors)
• Personal Mission Statement: My mission is to give my patients the best quality care possible. Determining what tools works best for each individual, and educating them on how to use them so they can continue that care once they are home.
• Stephanie’s thoughts on patient-focused care: “I truly enjoy working with my patients. Many of which I have been seeing for a number of years. I love hearing their stories and getting to know them better with each visit. They have become my friends, which makes their visits more like a reunion. These connections are the best part of my job and is why I continue to enjoy my job for going on 23 years.”
• Stephanie is married and has two daughters. She loves sports, including the Iowa Hawkeyes, Chicago Bears, and Golden State Warriors. She also enjoys biking, taking walks, reading and traveling. Stephanie is active in her church and volunteers at Linn Mar schools.
