I am from Dallas, Texas and have a little pug named Phoebe. We also call her Piggy because she acts like a little Piglet and is very funny!

I love to cook, garden and create beautiful flower arrangements. I also love traveling and camping in my trailer!

My name tag has flowers on it because flowers make people smile!

Lisa

Patient Care Specialist

I’m a native Texan, born in Dallas and raised in Garland. I have worked in dentistry for over 25 years, most of those spent working in Orthodontics, making myKIDSdds a great fit.

What I love about myKIDSdds is the relationships that are formed with patients, parents and among the team. The care that goes into each child’s visit is amazing.

When not at work I love spending my time gardening, scrap booking and shopping. I also enjoy traveling with my husband of almost 30 years.

My name tag is a sunflower because it is my favorite flower and always makes me smile.

Sue L.

Patient Care Specialist

I am originally from Wisconsin. Go Packers and yes, I like cheese. I came to Dallas the summer of 1995 to visit family friends and never left.

I am 1 of 8 children and have an identical twin sister.

My favorite thing about working at myKIDSdds is the patients. The kids are sweet, funny, curious and engaging.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my girls, extended family and friends, shopping, traveling and cooking.

Pepper

Registered Dental Hygienist

I am a Dallas native raised in Lake Highlands, and I graduated from dental hygiene school in 2001.

I have worked for MyKidsDDS for the majority of my dental hygiene career because it feels like home. I love that everyone is positive and strives to make sure each child gets the quality care and attention he or she deserves.

Two things I love to do are travel and build things. Many of the desktop pictures you see in our consult rooms are from one of my vacations. I spent three years living in the Dominican Republic doing volunteer ministry work. So if you speak Spanish, please help me practice! Now that I’m home and residing in Richardson, I spend my free time doing projects around my house.

I chose a Dr. Pepper can as my name tag. No explanation necessary there!

I am so glad to have joined myKIDSdds back in 2017. We strive to make each child feel comfortable while in the dental chair as well as excited about brushing their teeth.

I moved from Shreveport, Louisiana to Dallas in 2016 and have loved every minute of living in the great state of Texas. I graduated from Louisiana Tech in Ruston with a Bachelors in Communications Design.

My favorite aspect of working at myKIDSdds is the amazing team. Let's just say they make my job easier. Marketing a team this dedicated to quality patient care is a dream. They operate on love and integrity and whole-heartedly want what is best for the patient. Who wouldn't want to tell the world about them? I know I do.

I love spending time with my husband, our princess of a Schnauzer; Lola and our incredibly sweet Golden; Maverick. Most weekends you can find us outside playing with our dogs, hanging out with friends and family or enjoying live music somewhere.

Lola, with her pink bow collar is represented on my name tag, she is simply the best and always brightens my day! (PSA: This was created pre-Maverick)
