About Hendersonville Family Dental Staff
Heather has been a cornerstone of the practice since 2005, starting her journey as a dental assistant and growing into her role as COO. For her, the office isn’t just a workplace—it’s home. Outside of work, Heather keeps up with her three busy kids and one extremely busy husband. In her downtime, she enjoys getting lost in a good book, cheering from the sidelines at her kids’ games, or hitting the open road with her husband on their motorcycle.

Junior Office Manager
Since joining the office in 2021, I’ve been fortunate to grow through several roles within the practice and return to one of my favorite positions as new patient coordinator. 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!

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!

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.
