Melanie grew up and resides in Carthage with her husband and 2 children. She developed an interest in dentistry after watching her step-mother as a hygienist. She graduated from Tyler Junior College achieving her RDH license and has worked for Nocogdoches Dental since 2009. It is very important to Melanie that all of her patients feel comfortable in her chair and confident in their smile! Working in an office that loves and cares for their patients is very important to her. She continues to learn and improve her skills through continuing education allowing her to give her patients the best treatment and care possible. Melanie is very excited to be able to provide care to her community in Carthage that she loves so dearly! Outside of the office, Melanie enjoys spending time with family and supporting her kids in the many activities they are involved in, such as sports and church activities.
