We are very thankful to all of our participating dentists and their hygienists for taking such good care of our members. We truly appreciate and value every dental team! Thank you for sharing your stories and congratulations to the winners!

Cindi Lanier

Cindi Lanier, Yorktown, Virginia

"Cindi is the best hygienist that I have had the pleasure of working with in my 20+ years of being a dental office manager. She has a large following and her patients love her. Cindi is always will to go above and beyond for anyone, including her patients and fellow team members. She has a can-do attitude and a kind heart.

"Cindi has been involved in mission trips to Jamaica to do dental treatment for those that otherwise could not afford it. I know from a first-hand experience she will go out of her way to help put a smile on a the face of someone that she has never met by just a simple note to let them know someone is thinking about them.

"I feel Cindi is a true example and role model of what it takes to be a great hygienist with the compassion that she has and shows in everything that she does." -Kathy Imbimbo

Christine Rodgers

Christine Rodgers, Midlothian, Virginia

"Christine worked through breast cancer. She is strong, reliable and has a great spirit." -Janine Randazzo

Maava Khan, Fairfax, Virginia

"Maava has such an amazing, energetic and kind personality! She is constantly laughing with our patients and I can just tell it already makes them feel so comfortable in our practice. I particularly love how she shares her travel experiences with all of our patients (and they share theirs with her as well!) — particularly her last amazing honeymoon trip to Iceland!

"She is outstanding with children and sings along "Twinkle twinkle little star" or the "ABC song" as she is working with them. And lastly, she has a great clinical eye and does an incredible job keeping our patients' teeth healthy." -Patricia Dary

Katelyn Jones

Katelyn Jones, Forest, Virginia

"Katelyn is such a joy to work with and is a breath of fresh air. She is a very popular hygienist in our office. Once she cleans your teeth you don't want anyone else to do them. She is very thorough and knowledgeable. She just got a puppy and is concerned about him during the day so she put him in doggie daycare." -Sharon Mixon
