Office Manager
My name is Yolande McKay and I am privileged to hold the position of Office Manager. The thought of visiting the dentist can be overwhelming for many people and poses a huge obstacle to oral health. My position allows me the opportunity to perform many tasks but my primary goal is to ensure your dental experience is superior at every visit and always better than the last visit. I have a great love of life and family and when away from the office, I enjoy going to the beach and reading.
