Today, we have two office locations, and are proud that Ashley McCarl Harrison is part of our our dental hygiene team. It is wonderful to have a fourth generation of the McCarl family working in our dental office. Ashley graduated from dental hygiene school in 2013, and she worked with our team right away.
