Meet the Staff

DAVID  — OFFICE MANAGER

Welcome to Heritage Dental!
My name is David and I am grateful that you are visiting our website and learning more about our practice, our team, and how we can partner with you in achieving your dental health.

Joining the Heritage Dental family in 2023 has been a wonderful experience. The Doctors, our Hygienist, and staff are patient-centered, caring, and professional; and our patient family is
amazing. I am very grateful to be here with such amazing people!

My journey in the dental field began in 2001 as a dental assistant. I fell in love with the field and having the opportunity to interact with wonderful patients and assist them through apprehensions and get them back to smiling. My passion for patient care and assisting is still going strong, so don’t be surprised if you see me in scrubs and assist in taking excellent care of you.

My wife Quyen and I live in Fredericksburg and we love the community. With your help we have raised 3 children here into two young men and a young lady that we are very proud of. It
takes a village. Kevin, Katherine, and Kyle that are all in college now! Empty nest life!

Quyen and I are foodies, constantly looking for new restaurants and dishes to enjoy. So as we welcome you to our practice, and get to know each other, I hope you will have food
recommendations for me to take my wife out to.

Thank you for taking a minute to learn about me and Heritage Dental. Whether you are a prospective patient or have been a part of our family for years, I look forward to welcoming you
and meeting you for the first time and many times to come.

DEAH — REGISTERED DENTAL HYGIENIST

Hello and Welcome!

My name is Deah and I am your Registered Dental Hygienist here at Heritage Dental. I grew up in Washington State and Montana but have also lived in 11 different states. I finally settled in Fredericksburg, Virginia in 2010.  I was a stay-at-home for 10 years while married to my son’s father who was an active Marine, before finding my passion in the Dentistry field.

I started my career in Dentistry at Germanna Community College, graduating from Dental Assisting and obtaining my CDA. I continued my education and graduated a second time with an associate degree as a Registered Dental Hygienist from Northern Virginia Community College.

I was blessed to find the love of my life upon graduation, and we have been blissful ever since! I absolutely love my profession and I look forward to the wonderful patient relationships that have and will develop over the course of my career.

I have a wonderful teenage son and three amazing stepchildren along with 4 fur babies, 3 cats, and our precious pup Peanut! I have a few hobbies, as I am a big DIY’er and I am always remodeling something in our family home, as well as, creating one of a kind art pieces in my spare time.

My favorite thing is enjoying my family while making memories to cherish for years to come. (“Humanity has unquestionably one really exceptional weapon — laughter”)

I thank you for allowing me to care for you and your family while you receive optimal, friendly, and informative health care here at Heritage Dental.
