Office Manager
Having grown up in the dental field — my father was a dentist in the Chicago suburbs — I have had the opportunity to work in many areas of a dental practice. I earned my bachelor's degree in Dental Hygiene from Southern Illinois University. After moving to the area in 1996, I joined this practice, beginning as a substitute dental hygienist and Dentrix software trainer before transitioning into the role of office manager.
Patient Care Coordinator
With a bachelor's degree in Hospitality and Hotel Management and over a decade of experience in managerial roles within the hotel industry, I am committed to delivering a premier level of service and ensuring each patient has a welcoming, positive experience from the moment they walk through our door.
Lead Dental Assistant
I joined this wonderful team in 2015, bringing several years of experience in expanded dental assisting. One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is interacting with patients and helping meet their dental needs, while continuing to learn and grow under the guidance of Dr. Tannous, who is committed to excellence in everything she does.
Dental Assistant
My journey in dentistry began in 2014 while I was still in high school, and I quickly developed a passion for the field. I found my forever work home when I joined Dr. Tannous in 2021. Although I have been practicing for over 10 years, I consider myself a lifelong learner in this ever-evolving field.
Dental Hygienist
An Indiana native, I have proudly practiced as a dental hygienist since graduating from the University of Mississippi Medical Center in 1980. I also hold a Master of Arts in Counseling from Indiana University and a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology — experiences that deeply inform my compassionate, patient-centered approach.
Dental Hygienist
I graduated from Indiana University South Bend in 2006 and joined this practice in 2014 after moving to the area. I treasure the lasting relationships I build with my patients at every visit and am grateful to be part of such a dedicated, caring team at Carmel West Dentistry.
Dental Hygienist
I grew up on a farm north of Fort Wayne, and the values I learned there — hard work, integrity, and attention to detail — continue to guide me in caring for each patient. I am grateful to be part of Carmel West Dentistry, a practice that stands out for its commitment to quality and high ethical standards.
