About Hendersonville Family Dental Staff
Heather has been a part of our practice since 2005. She started out as a dental assistant, but in 2013, she left the “back” and became our office manager and then our COO. Heather views her coworkers and patients as family and loves coming to work every day, yes this is true! When she is not at work, she can be found riding motorcycles with her husband, Jesse, or hanging out with their three kids. However, if Heather had to pick her own hobby, it would have to be shopping!

Junior Office Manager
Since joining the office in 2021, I’ve worked my way from receptionist to new patient coordinator and now marketing director. I love meeting new people, easing dental anxieties, and creating a great dental experience for everyone. One of my favorite parts of the job is visiting local schools during Oral Hygiene Month to spread the word about healthy smiles. Originally from Florida, I moved to North Carolina in 2005 with my husband, Dane. We’re always up for road trips, lake days and checking out MLB stadiums. I’m a proud momma to two kiddos, Lindsey who serves as a dispatcher and Cameron who is a busy student playing multiple sports and serving on student body.
Jennifer
Marketing Coordinator
Teresa is our Treatment and Financial Coordinator. She has been building friendships around our office for the last 26 years. She takes care of a little bit of everything for us, which is why you may hear her referred to as “Momma T”. Teresa goes above and beyond to see that our patients fully understand their treatment options and that we are as accommodating as possible. She has been married to her best friend Rick for 44 years now. They have 3 wonderful children that have blessed them with 4 of the best grandchildren: Tyler, Miranda, Connor and Lilee. When she is not in the office, you might find her on the soccer field cheering on her grandchildren. She enjoys baking and makes some of the best cakes we have tasted. She always enjoys treats for her birthday, November 29th and Valentine’s Day, so mark this on your calendar. If you ask any of her co-workers she is the best to work with but can throw a “T” tantrum” now and then. Remember, you, as a patient, are her number one concern and she will make sure we do what is best for you!

In her free time, she loves spending quality time with her family, traveling, vacationing, hiking, camping or any outdoor activity.

This dual experience has equipped her with a comprehensive understanding of the inner workings of a dental practice, allowing her to bridge the gap between administrative and clinical care. Her primary responsibility is reaching out to patients who may have missed their regular appointments or fallen out of touch with our practice. Through personalized outreach, she strives to understand their unique needs, address any concerns they may have, and guide them back onto the path of optimal oral health.
Kaileigh
Patient Re-Engagement Coordinator
I joined the practice in March 2025. I was born and raised in the heart of Hendersonville, NC. I’m a proud mom of three energetic boys who keep me on my toes between baseball games and football practices. A North Henderson High School alum, I’ve always believed in the power of community, connection, and a good story—especially if it’s a swoon-worthy romance novel. When I’m not cheering from the sidelines or chauffeuring to practices, you’ll find me with a crochet hook or quilting needle in hand. I love the thrill of travel, the joy of online shopping (sometimes too much!), and the simple pleasure of gathering with friends and family. Life is busy, a little messy, and full of love—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Amanda S.
New Patient Coordinator
Though I’m originally from Missouri, I’ve proudly called North Carolina home for over a decade. I consider myself a jack of all trades in the healthcare world—having worked as a CNA at Pardee Hospital, a phlebotomist, and a medical office receptionist. Each role has shaped my experience, but what I love most across the board is connecting with patients and their families. Whether it’s celebrating the end of a treatment, witnessing someone’s new smile, or just seeing them feel better day by day—those moments are what keep me passionate about healthcare. When I’m not at work, you’ll most likely find me exploring the scenic trails of Western North Carolina with my adventure pup, Lilah Jane, and my partner, Bryce. We love uncovering hidden gems tucked away in the mountains and taking in the views. I’m also a lifelong book lover—Water for Elephants and The Help will always hold a special place in my heart. When I’m not hiking or reading, there’s a good chance I’m getting lost in a history or antique car museum. I’m endlessly curious and always on the lookout for the next great story—whether it’s in the pages of a novel, the journey of a patient, or the history behind a vintage exhibit.
