Mandy
Dental Hygienist
Mandy Brock began her dental career and cross-trained as a dental assistant and receptionist in 1997. After many years, she moved forward in her education and earned her hygiene license in 2016. She now has 23 years of dental experience. She loves getting to know her patients while also educating them on good oral hygiene habits and leaving their teeth sparkly clean.
Outside of the dental office, Mandy enjoys spending her time with her five kids and her husband in their home in Kimberly, Alabama. She enjoys being outdoors, watering her garden, playing with her dogs, or snuggling inside watching her all-time favorite series, Grey’s Anatomy.
Taylor
Dental Assistant
Taylor was born in Talladega, Alabama. Taylor attended the University of Alabama and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 2025. She was unsure if she wanted to pursue her psychology degree further so she took a break from schooling and worked as a scheduling coordinator for a pediatric dentist and quickly found a passion for dentistry!
Outside of the office, Taylor enjoys spending time with her fiancé Carter and their mini dachshund Banks. She enjoys painting, lake days, and Alabama football. Roll tide!
