Meet the TeamMichelleDental HygieneI was born and raised in Rexburg Idaho where I started my dental career 11 years ago. I moved to Pocatello Idaho then off to Seattle where I spent 5 years. Since July of 2019, I am happy to call Arizona my home. In my career, I have had the chance to work alongside multiple dentists, but now I am fortunate enough to be a part of Dr. Gore’s practice. Dr. Gore encourages his team to gain knowledge and new skills to share with our patients. Dr. Gore also provides the most up-to-date technology and equipment to treat our patients. I truly enjoy working for Dr. Gore knowing he genuinely cares about his patients and staff. In my spare time, I love enjoying the beautiful outdoors which includes hiking, paddleboarding, snowboarding, traveling, exploring Arizona, and spending time with my husband and two dogs Scully and Spice. I’m always looking for new adventures, so feel free to share yours on your next visit. Hope to see you soon!
