Jasmine
Patient Care Coordinator
The first bright, smiling face when you see when you walk into our office is our patient coordinator, Jasmine. Jasmine was born and raised in Asheboro, North Carolina but now lives in the Pottery Capital, Seagrove, North Carolina. She loves to smile and cares about every person she encounters. You can also find her at the First Health Fitness Center in Pinehurst where she is involved with many different children’s fitness events.
She has two chocolate labs, Arne and Nessie, a chihuahua named Taco and a Lionhead Bunny named Ivory. She is definitely an animal lover and hopes to add some more furry friends in the future. Jasmine and her family love the outdoors and always have plans for their next camping trip. She lives each day by the motto, 'Let’s not talk about it, let’s be about it.'

Makayla
Registered Dental Hygienist
Makayla was born and raised in Millford, Connecticut and has lived in North Carolina for the last three years now. She joined our Dogwood team November of 2020.
Makayla completed her undergraduate studies at Mount Ida College, just outside of Boston, MA, receiving her Bachelor's degree in Dental Hygiene. She then went on to obtain her Master's degree in Healthcare Management from The University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth.
After graduating, Makayla moved to North Carolina out of her love for traveling and to continue on her career as a dental hygienist. For the past five years, she has loved providing care for her patients and establishing relationships, giving them an experience that is pleasant and comfortable. She says the most rewarding part of her job is when a patient can walk away feeling confident about their smile.
In her free time, Makayla enjoys spending time with friends and family, checking off her bucket list of places to travel, being outdoors and running.
Dogwood Family Dental is so lucky to have Makayla be a part of our wonderful hygiene team.
