Meet Our Team
Sarah
Practice Manager
A Virginia native, Sarah completed a dental assisting program here in the Valley after deciding orthodontics was the field for her! She has earned a Certificate of Specialization in Leadership and Management through a program at Harvard Business School and is currently completing her Bachelor of Science at James Madison University, majoring in Individualized Study with a concentration in Healthcare Leadership – GO DUKES! In 2025, Sarah was honored with induction into the Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society, recognizing her academic excellence at JMU. After a decade in the field, Sarah became a published author of the illustrated children’s book, My First Visit to the Orthodontist, to further educate kids and their families on the specialty of orthodontics. When she’s not in the office, she’s a busy mama to her two kids, Cora and Hudson, and enjoys traveling with her husband. We’re grateful for all she does to keep our practice running smoothly!
