Moe
Treatment Coordinator
Overcoming obstacles for her patients, especially helping them understand their dental benefits, is Moe’s favorite part of her job. She’s been with the practice since 2017 and enjoys dentistry’s ever-evolving challenges and the opportunity to learn something new every day! She and her husband are both K-State alumni who love attending sporting events, traveling, and trying new restaurants. They enjoy spending time outdoors with their sweet 65-pound lap-dog, a Red Fox Lab named Murphy, and playing on local rec sports teams. Moe is committed to answering your treatment and insurance questions to take the confusion out of your dental appointments!
