Brittany

Registered Dental Assistant

Hi, I’m Brittany Shepherd. I’ve been a registered dental assistant for
the past 10 years. Specializing in oral surgery and implants. Born and raised In southern California, I recently relocated my family to the beautiful city of Waco, Texas, where I joined Hillcrest dental. This move was a significant decision for us, and I’m excited for the opportunity it presents. Outside of work I’m a devoted mom to three wonderful daughters and enjoy spending time with my fiancé. My hobbies include engaging in outdoor activities with my family, playing with my two Frenchies cowabunga and Honeybear and refurbishing old antique furniture. Balancing my career with these personal interests is incredibly rewarding and I’m looking forward to this new chapter in my life..

Laura

Registered Dental Hygienist

As a Dental hygienist my goal is not only to get the patient to a comfortable, healthy oral
state, but to also enjoy the process. Each appointment is different and special and this is what Ienjoy most–getting to know my patient, what their wants are and how to help and educate
them to get there. A smile is worth a thousand words, and I do my best to help everyone
achieve their best smile.

I have been in the dental field for 10+ years, first as a dental assistant and now a dental
hygienist. I enjoy spending time with my husband and 3 children. A perfect weekend consists of
sunny days, beachy waters, and 4 perfect smiles.

Kori

Clinic Administrator

I have been in the field of dentistry for 20+ years, which has allowed me to achieve and appreciate a gratifying career. I discovered my passion for dentistry as a teenager while completing orthodontic treatment. I was raised in Gatesville, and I reside in the small community of Oglesby. I am a super proud Mom of my handsome son, Kutter (yes, he fits his name very well)! I also enjoy spending time with my parents and friends, outdoor activities, and I would consider myself a sport junky! And one last “tid bit” about myself…I AM A DIE-HARD TEXAS AGGIE FAN! GIG EM’, WHOOP!
