Darlene Tunkara - Receptionist/Assistant
Darlene is the friendly face that will greet you when you enter our clinic. She will gladly help make sense of your dental insurance plans and organize any appointments you may need. Her favorite thing about dentistry is that after 20 years in the industry there is still always something new to learn and is also a registered dental assistant so she is always ready to help patients in the back.
