Meet Staff 4

My name is Karen Smith and I am the Financial Coordinator. I reside in Church Point with my wonderful husband, Troy, and we have two beautiful daughters, Samantha and Megan. I have been in the dental field since 2006 and joined Dr. Malone’s team in 2012. I assist our patients with all financial aspects of their care so they can get optimum dental health. When you come to our practice, you will find a warm and friendly atmosphere. We have a great team of professionals who want to give our patients a great experience. Outside of the office, I enjoy being outdoors and spending time with family and friends.
