“I have been in the dental field since 1980, starting out as a registered dental assistant. I have worked all phases of dentistry and my favorite is Periodontics! (It fits doesn’t it! Perio, Peri!) I have been with Deer Park Dental since 2007 and have loved every minute of it. It really is a great place to work. Great doctors, co-workers and patients! I have two grown girls, ages 26 and 23. They are my world! I enjoy gardening and spending time in my yard, watching movies and reading.”
Peri takes care of most of the doctors scheduling, reviewing treatment plans with patients and sending pre-determinations of dental benefits so our patients understand what their coverage is.
