Addy

THE Patient services coordinator

I’m a proud mom to my son, Bryer, and I’m engaged to Braxton—we have such a fun time together with Bryer and love making memories as a family. We share life with my golden doodle, Waylon, who always keeps things lively. I’ve been working as an assistant for the past seven years, and when I’m not busy with work or family, I enjoy cheering on Clemson football or racing. I’m originally from Pickens, South Carolina

Meet our hygienist, Mel! With years of clinical experience and a naturally cheerful personality, she loves helping patients feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely welcome from the moment they sit in her chair.

When she’s not creating healthier smiles, you’ll probably find her cheering on Georgia football, spending time with her beloved dog, Tobi-Jo, enjoying some good Southern food, or looking up at the stars. She brings the same warmth and enthusiasm to our office that she does to everything she loves, and she’s passionate about making every dental visit a positive one. She's happily married and has two sons, Blake, who lives in Texas and, Zach, who unfortunately attended Clemson.

I’m honored to serve as the Office Manager at The Dentist Office. With eight years in the dental field, I’ve had the privilege of working in orthodontics, oral surgery, periodontics, and general dentistry. My favorite part of my job is helping people feel confident about their smiles by addressing what bothers them most and ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for with top-notch customer service.
I love creating a welcoming environment where every patient feels at home. Outside the office, I cherish spending quality time with my husband and our four kids—Caroline, Walker, Lane, and Avery Grace. Our home is full of life with three German shepherds and two ducks! I’m excited to bring my passion for patient care to The Dentist Office and make your visit a positive experience. Come by and let’s work together to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted!
