Meet the Team

Hey there! My name is Skyler and I’m so excited to meet you! I loved going to the dentist when I was little and dreamed of someday working for a dentist! I’ve worked in the dental field since 2004 and have a deep love and passion for teeth and meeting new people. When I’m not at work, I am spending every second with my best friend and husband, Nick, our trio, Addie, Kash, and Lucy, and our little Owen. We enjoy watching sports (Go Utes!), hiking and going to Disneyland!
