Eagle Dental Care - October 2017

ASSISTANT CORNER: HANNAH

Kara isn’t the only exciting new arrival at Eagle Dental Care. Hannah officially joined the staff here in August as well, after doing some externing for us before she graduated. She’s now our newest assistant, and she’s hit the ground running. “I love the patients here, I love Dr. Thomason, and I love the girls,” Hannah says. “Each of them contributes to making this place so special, especially our amazing community of patients.” In her role as an assistant, Hannah has to be a jack-of-all-trades. “I basically help out anyone that needs a hand,” she notes, “whether that’s Dr. Thomason, Kara, or our office staff.” Hannah has an ‘ask me anything’ attitude that makes all of our lives easier and makes our patients feel welcome immediately. In the hours when she’s not helping our office run like clockwork, Hannah’s spending time with her family. “I love spending every moment I can with my husband, Tony, and our 3-year-old daughter, Sophia,” she says. “Tony and I both love the outdoors, and we’re training Sophia to be a little nature lover, as well.” One of Hannah’s favorite activities is paddleboarding, and she’s hoping to get a fewmore runs in before it cools off for the winter. We already knew that Hannah would be a great addition to our team during her externship. Now that she’s onboard for real, that feeling has only magnified. We pride ourselves on creating a fun environment, and there’s no doubt that Hannah contributes to that in a significant way. LAUGHING GAS
