Freeda
Freeda Juve plays two roles in our office working both in the front office and as my surgical assistant. A few years ago she was my primary assistant, but I think she had her fill of working that close with me. Now her primary duty is patient relations. Freeda started with us in 1995. She brought some general dental office experience with her.

Kate
Kate Brannon is our newest addition. Kate obtained her license in 1997. She has been with us since 2000. I knew we had something special when I interviewed Kate. She told me that she is related to Dr. Vann, a Headland dentist. A good pedigree is hard to beat.
