Dental Staff

Welcome to our family!  Since the majority of our office staff has been working with Dr. Brunner for many, many years, and a substantial number of our patients have been under our care for generations,  we are able to get to know many of our patients on a first name basis.  We celebrate their milestones, cheer their successes and share the inevitable down days of life.  We pride ourselves in catering to the unique, individual needs of our patients.  It is truly a warm, caring and friendly office that not only gives you and your family the best possible dental care, but does so in a sincerely kind, gentle environment.  We welcome you to stop in to meet our staff, the doctors, take a tour of the office or ask any questions you may have.
