Our Team

Michelle Hoffman
Dental Assistant and Financial Coordinator

I am originally from downstate where I graduated from Lapeer West High School and went on to the University of Michigan. I have lived in this area for almost 18 years. My time is spent with a very active family. We enjoy all sports and outdoor activities. Our blended family of eight makes up a great team!

Janice Hendershot
Registered Dental Hygienist

I graduated from the dental hygiene program at Mott Community College in 1981 and relocated to West Branch in 1985. I enjoy reading, traveling, and spending time with my family.

Mary Forreider
Office Manager

I spent several years working as an administrative assistant for the Anesthesia group in the Detroit Medical Center, while completing a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. In 1998, I relocated from Ann Arbor to the Higgins Lake area with my husband Len and daughter Kristina. With a love for giving patients the understanding and care they deserve and a passion to want to make a difference, I find myself enjoying each and every day working with a team of professionals. When I'm not working, I enjoy gardening, relaxing and spending time with my family and dog Rocky.

Janice Bartlett
Registered Dental Hygienist

I graduated from Delta College in 2004 with a degree in dental hygiene and an associates degree in business management. I am married to a dairy farmer and together we have four children. We reside in Sterling. Life on the farm with four children can be pretty busy, but with our spare time we love to garden and raise pheasants. Most recently I have become the Pheasant 4-H leader in Arenac County. So far within the last three years my children and I have released over 600 pheasants.
