Liz
Clinic Coordinator
Greetings, my name is Liz. As you have probably noticed I am not in the office anymore. I have moved to Jefferson City with my husband Eric, daughter Emma and two sons, Luke and Gavin. I am now working from home doing some of the tasks that are hard to complete while serving patients on a daily basis. In an effort to make your visit the best I now handle as much of the insurance, confirming, rescheduling and ANYTHING else I can do from my home. I have had the priviledge of being an integral part of the extreme growth and evolution of this team since 1995. I look forward to chatting with you soon!

Hi! I live in Lee's Summit, MO with my husband (David), two boys (Elijah & Ryder) and two dogs (Jada & Roxy). I joined the Goodheart Dental team in May 2016 as a hygiene assistant. I have recently transitioned to the front desk area so now I am one of the first faces you will see when you come through the door!

Anna
Hello, my name is Anna. I live in Lee's Summit, MO. Since I was a wee little child I have wanted to work in the dental industry. At age 7 I started brushing others teeth for the first time. Don't worry, it was my little dog's teeth. Her name is Angel, she is my best friend. When I was younger I was insecure about my smile and that is where my desire to work in dental was born. I want to help others. At Goodheart Dental I am the hygiene assistant. I can't wait to meet you!
