Jackie
Office Manager
In 1987, I started working in the dental field right here at Dayton Hart, DMD. It is a great office, where I can meet many amazing people. I love making them feel welcome and comfortable. I expertly handle all practice issues, from scheduling to finances, with an eye to detail. It is my pleasure to find our patients treatment times that fit perfectly into their schedules and payment plans that allow them to breathe easily. I believe that our work is very important to happy living and that money should never be a factor in receiving the best dental care.
I am married to Dr. Hart. We like our household busy and full. We have three sons named John, Jeff, and Zachary and two daughters, Claire and Hannah. We also have a dog named Gizmo, and a cat named Zane. Our African Grey and Moluccan cockatoo are also very special to me. In addition to working here, I am also a certified massage therapist.
Terry
Hygienist
I was so happy to join our practice in 1990. I brought ten years of experience with me, and boy was it useful! Every day, I feel like I find something new at work to be thankful for. Whether cleaning your teeth, taking X-rays, testing and analyzing your pH or bacteria levels, screening for TMJ, or giving homecare and diet instructions, my work is always interesting. Meeting you and helping you achieve the best oral hygiene are what I love most about being a hygienist. I want you to feel comfortable in our very capable hands.
I feel that life is wonderful and that I am truly blessed. I am happily married. My husband, Bruce, and I have three sons: Bradley, Zachary, and Casey. We enjoy boating, grilling, and spending time with friends. We also attend the Abiding Love Fellowship Church.
Melissa
Hygienist and Dental Assistant
I started in the dental field in 1988 and gladly joined Dr. Hart’s team in 2003. I love the people I work with and all of our patients. I consider them family. I enjoy helping others, which makes my job here the perfect fit for me. I clean teeth, order supplies, sterilize equipment, take X-rays, and do whatever is needed to assist Dr. Hart with patient treatments. I truly do love working here.
I am a single mother, and I live for the summer time. It is the perfect season for my favorite activities, like boating, being outdoors, and just hanging out with friends. I also enjoy sitting down with a good book.
Michelle
Hygienist/Dental Assistant/Insurance Clerk
I have been working with the fun and loving team here since 2004, but I have been in the field for nearly 25 years. It has been a great experience, and I love wearing the many hats my job demands. I really like to multitask, and I am happy wherever I work around the office. I clean teeth, answer phones, file and verify insurance, take X-rays, sterilize equipment, assist Dr. Hart with procedures, and monitor nitrous levels during treatments. I work to see that all our patients have a comfortable and enjoyable experience in which all their needs are met.
My husband, Robert, and I have a full house. We have two girls, McKenzie and Morgan, four dogs, and a cat. I enjoy boating, fishing, diving, biking, and running. I just love the outdoors.
Leslie
I have worked with Dr. Hart and the rest of our team for the past ten years. I can be found working at our front desk, where I will help schedule your appointments, check you in and out, and take care of your accounts. I love meeting new people and welcoming them into our practice. I can’t wait to meet you and your family!
I have been married to my best friend, David, for 16 years. We have two daughters, Madalyn and Madyson, a dog named Pepper, a cat named Fiona, and a fish named Fish. I like spending time with my family, shopping with my girls, and going to the movies. My girls keep me going with band, archery, soccer, and scouting. We enjoy going to Friday night football games to cheer on our Foley Lions and Our Mighty Band from Lion Land. We also attend the Foley First Baptist Church.
