OUR TEAM

KRISTY BOWMAN

I have been working with Dr. Shantzer for 12 years now. It's been a wonderful learning experience and I can't wait to see what the next 12 years bring. I really enjoy taking care of people and educating them on the importance of oral health. I have been married for 8 years and have two young boys that keep me very busy. I have to say, coming home to them is my favorite part of the day!

MARIA MITCHELL

I have worked as a dental hygienist for over 20 years. I was happy to join Dr. Shantzer and his team in 2011. I enjoy our family of patients. It is my goal to give my patients the most thorough dental care while making them as comfortable as possible. I have been married for 19 years. I have three children and a Jack Russell dog named Gigi. I enjoy being a mom and spending time with my family.

SHANNON

I have been working as an Expanded Function Dental Assistant with Dr. Shantzer since 2005 when I graduated from Manor College. I assist Dr. Shantzer with patient care, place fillings, fabricate temporaries, do lab work, and fill in for my teammates as needed. I enjoy seeing the look on a patient’s face when they see their new smile. The long-lasting friendships that I have made with my co-workers is also very rewarding. I have been happily married to my husband Rob since 2004, and we have 3 handsome sons. When I am not at the office, you can find me in Florida or at a motocross track with my boys.

TARA

I assist Dr. Shantzer during patient procedures, help out at the front desk and in the lab, and place fillings. I have worked in this office for my entire dental career, since 2000 after graduating from Manor College, and couldn’t imagine a better place to be. I enjoy improving patients’ smiles, making a difference in someone’s life, and working with my coworkers who are beautiful people, both inside and out. I am happily married to my husband, Mike, and we have three young children and a white boxer named Murphy. In my free time, I enjoy being with my family and friends.
