About MeI have two adult kids. They drive me crazy at times but they are my greatest blessing, and the Mister in my life is amazing!
I love to run, it keeps me sane!
Peppermints are meant to be eaten by the handful, they are so delicious! Eggs Benedict is yummy any time of the day. And making beautiful things with yarn makes me very happy. God has given me grace for my place, and I am very blessed!
Why did you choose dentistry? I started in dentistry a little over 6 years ago. I love the challenge of administrative work. Sounds odd, but I like putting the puzzle of paperwork together.

A great smile can change your life!

Lori grew up in North Dakota and is married with two children.

By personalizing patients’ treatment, she helps build their confidence and trust in our team.
What do you do outside the office? Lori’s other passion is spending time with her husband, her two busy children, and their dog Mallatobuck (Star Wars fans will understand). Lori loves to travel near and far. When she isn’t running to her children’s activities, she is active with her church and volunteers within the community. You may find her active in the great outdoors. She enjoys a good novel, crafting, yoga, photography, and, most of all, taking in a concert or a hockey game.

What “lesson from mom” do you still live by? The lost art of a handwritten “thank you” goes a long way.
