Susan
Hi, my name is Susan (Susie) and I have been working with Dr. Ted since 1987.
I began my dental career in September 1966 in Hillsdale, Michigan. I have been a receptionist, dental assistant and office manager. You could say I am a jack of all trades when it comes to the dental office. In my opinion, the most rewarding thing about working it the dental field is watching anxious patients, especially young children, become less stressed. This happens due to a very caring Dentist and a staff that is very attuned to the needs of our patients. When you call, and you should, tell them "SUSIE SENT YOU".
My husband, Dennis, and I have been married for 43 years. I have 3 great children Nicole, Andrew & Nathan, whom I am very proud of. I also have 2 granddaughters, Megan & Maia, who are the apples of my eyes.
I love to read & swim. I am also a sucker for games on the computer.
Sarah
Hello, my name is Sarah. I have been a part of our Westgate Family Dental team since 2002.
I help assist Dr. Ted. My #1 focus is to help you in anyway I can to make your dental visit as pleasant as possible.
I live North of the border in Michigan. I enjoy being outdoors -- during the warm months, of course. I also love going to Nascar races, concerts and Detroit Tiger games.
I look forward to seeing everyone single one of you.
Ann
Hi, my name is Ann, and I am Dr. Ted's Receptionist and Financial Coordinator and Office Manager.
I am proud to be a part of this outstanding team. I am a 1979 graduate of Penta County Dental Assisting Program, and since then, have had 25 + years experience in many different aspects of dentistry. Our primary goal here at Westgate Family Dental is not only to provide exceptional dental care, but to keep our patients very relaxed and comfortable. Be sure to ask us about our "Total Comfort System".
My personal interests include walking, music, reading, gardening, and my Church. More than anything else, I enjoy spending as much time as possible with my two sons and my beautiful grandchildren.. Life can't get much better than that!!
Call me soon to schedule your next appointment!

Not only am I a Registered Dental Hygienist, but I am also licensed to place fillings and administer local anesthetic.
I absolutely love working in the dental field. It is great to meet and develop relationships with our patients, especially with our family style practice.
