April

Office Manager

I joined Dr. Herring’s team as a dental assistant in 2008. In 2013, I became the office manager. I love working with all of our patients and it is my goal to make everyone in our office feel important and appreciated. Most of the time, I enjoy the daily challenges that the insurance industry brings. I take great pride in making insurance companies give our patients the benefits they deserve. Dr. Herring and our team strive to be the “Greatest Dental Practice in NC.” I love being part of this team!

At home, I enjoy art and playing with my three dogs. I am an avid sports enthusiast. I love the Yankees, Pittsburgh Steelers, Alabama, and Derek Jeter! My husband Rich and I celebrated our 20th anniversary in June 2017. Our son attends the University of Alabama!

Sara

Dental Assistant II

I assist Dr. Herring with all treatments related to patient care, instrument sterilization, and inventory. My job involves working with people on a one-on-one basis and building relationships with them so they feel comfortable in our office. Dr. Herring is a very caring, honest, and generous person. She always looks out for her patients’ and employees’ best interests. The past six years have been great, and I look forward to many more to come!

In my free time, I love being outdoors and spending time with my family, especially my son Austin.

Amber

Registered Dental Hygienist

I began working with Dr. Herring in 2006 after graduating from Catawba Valley Community College. My duties include seeing new and existing patients for their hygiene appointments, taking X-rays, sterilizing instruments, and helping other team members as needed throughout the day. I enjoy helping patients feel better about themselves and seeing them smile when their teeth are clean. I also like getting to know my patients; many have become like an extended family that I look forward to seeing regularly.

In my personal time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I am active in my church and enjoy being outdoors any chance I get.

Natasha

Registered Dental Hygienist

I began working with Dr. Herring in 2008, shortly after graduating from CVCC, and I migrated with her when she opened her own practice. I enjoy seeing my patients walk out the door with a smile on their faces. They are like a second family to me; it’s always nice to clean their teeth, but I enjoy catching up with them at their recall visits.

I enjoy working with Dr. Herring because she understands the importance of having a team. She listens to our opinions and takes all of us into consideration when making decisions. I enjoy working with the girls; we work well together. Having a reliable dental team makes my job enjoyable.

My husband Kevin and I have been married for a decade. I enjoy fishing, hiking, swimming, and riding bikes. But the thing I enjoy most is being a mom.
