I began my career with the Markiewicz Dental Team in 1996 as a Dental Assistant, but throughout the years I have performed many roles within our office.

Terri
Infection Control Specialist

Hello! I work in the infection control area of our office, which I truly enjoy. I also enjoy helping our Hygienists in getting their rooms ready for our patients. But my favorite part of each day is when I get the opportunity to help seat our patients for their appointment! I especially love getting to know you and your stories!! They have brought me joy, humor, tears and humbleness, and much needed laughter! Y’all are the best!! When not at work, I love to bake and cook and change up recipes. We have a new puppy Sophie, 8mos old now. It took us 18yrs to decide to have a dog again…and she was TOTALLY meant for us! We’re loving having a doggo in the family again.
