Meet the Team

Fran

Registered Dental Hygienist/Office Manager

Fran has been practicing dental hygiene in the Midlands since 2006 and feels fortunate that she was asked to join the River Oaks team in May of 2019.

Fran grew up in North Augusta but moved to Lexington after getting married and finishing dental hygiene school. She graduated from Clemson University in 2004 with a degree in Human Nutrition. She subsequently earned her dental hygiene degree from Augusta University.

Fran loves being a dental hygienist and takes pride in helping her patients establish and maintain their optimal dental health. Most of all, she enjoys the relationships made with her patients. She wants them to feel right at home when they come to see her and hopes they leave with a healthy smile on their face.

Fran is married to her college sweetheart, and they have two boys who keep them very busy with various activities and sports. When she's not at the ball field or gym with her boys, Fran enjoys running, cooking, and being outside.
