MINDY - SCHEDULING COORDINATOR


I am originally from Ohio, but I have been living in the beautiful sunshine state since 2019. I began my dental career in 2004 as a certified dental assistant. In 2011, I transitioned to the front office and eventually made my way into management. I have always had a passion for helping people, so the transition into the dental field felt very natural for me. I am extremely passionate about my job and the patients, going the extra mile for them and the bonds you get to form with them. I take pride in providing a consistently high level of care and focus, and being a great team player. I was blessed to come across Avalon Dental's amazing team and they have made me feel like part of the family. 


In my spare time, I enjoy reading at the beach, and when time allows, going home to spend time with my 2 beautiful, now adult children, and my big family. 

GINA - HYGIENIST

I graduated from dental hygiene school in 1995. During the first years of my career, I had the opportunity to practice dental hygiene in several different types of dental settings. I moved to Milton and started working at Avalon Dental in 2005, and enjoy being one of their hygienists. 


As a hygienist, my goal is to make dental cleanings and X-rays as gentle and thorough as possible while also educating patients on how to maintain a healthy smile.


I enjoy getting to know my patients personally, and I strive to make them feel welcome and appreciated when they visit the office.

HAILEY - HYGIENIST

 

I graduated Pensacola State College Dental Hygiene School in 2012. I take great pride in providing a positive experience in the dental chair for my patients. While being cautious of the needs of each patient, I will take the time to be very thorough with a gentle touch. My favorite aspect of being a dental hygienist is establishing a good relationship with my patients and helping ease any dental anxiety. I am dedicated to helping my patients maintain a healthy smile for life. I love helping my patients understand the need for good oral health and how to accomplish it.


In my spare time, I love spending time with my two children. I enjoy bowhunting, cooking, and Alabama football! 

TRICIA - HYGIENIST

I am originally from the Atlanta, GA area and I moved here in April 2023. I graduated from The Medical College of Georgia in 1997. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in many dental settings. I was a Dental Hygiene clinical instructor at a local college in Atlanta and a Dental Supply Sales Representative as well. 


I enjoy building relationships with my patients and educating them on the importance of their overall health. Quality patient care is very important to me, as well as helping you achieve a healthy smile. For these reasons, I am excited to be a part of Avalon Dental's team.


I live in Pace with my husband and I have a daughter and a son. I enjoy going to the beach, crafting and Georgia Bulldogs football.

SUSANNE - DENTAL ASSISTANT

I was born and raised in Pensacola, FL. I have been in the dental field since 1999 and have worked as Dr. Ottley's chairside assistant since 2008.



Following high school, I pursued my career in dentistry, and I received my certificate in dental assisting at Pensacola Jr. College. As your dental health professional, I want you to have a positive experience. I understand how uneasy some patients may feel about their dental visits, and how I can make a difference in providing a relaxing and positive experience. I pride myself on providing the care you need to keep your smile healthy!

SHANNON - DENTAL ASSISTANT

I began my dental career in 2010. My favorite part of my job is seeing the confidence that comes from giving our patients smiles that they truly love! I am originally from this area, and I currently live in Jay with my husband, daughter and our two dogs.


In my spare time, I love to organize (cleaning and organizing is my therapy!), spend time with my family, travel, do craft projects, be outdoors when the weather is cool, and of course, watch football! GO GATORS!
