Franklin Dental Team
Lara Brandes - She's our dedicated office manager overseeing all aspects of Franklin Dental including insurance billing, treatment planning and providing complete customer service. Lara has a Master's degree in Performing Arts, is fluent in German, Vietnamese and a touch of French. Her passion is tennis, so watch out for her wicked top spin forehand. At home she plays the violin and is a loving mom of twin girls.
Betty Mengesha - As our Front desk coordinator, Betty is your first contact to welcome you, schedule appointments, verify your insurance and answer your phone calls. She is a mom of 2 and loves to do flower arrangements and cook special Ethiopian dishes like Injera.
Joelle Flores - Once you're in our clinic, you'll meet Joelle, our dental assistant, who makes sure you're comfortable and all preliminary preparations for your treatment are taken care of. Joelle has a very sweet and gentle personality and you couldn't tell that after work she is a professional boxer who coaches men and women to stay fit and healthy. Her little toddler boy loves Oldies and "Cheek to Cheek" is his favorite tune to sing along.
Julie Price King RDH - She is our registered dental hygienist and will ensure you get excellent dental cleanings to maintain your oral health and hygiene for you and your family. Julie is all about healthy eating and touring the country with her husband in their new and nicely equipped camper. In her free time, her favorite place to hang out is around a campfire with her family and grand kids.
