The doctor, team and patients are all so amazing. It is truly a pleasure to be a part of this awesome office and team. In her spare time away from the office, Michelle enjoys spending time with her husband, 3 boys, teenage daughter and 2 cats. She is active in her church and loves to participate in local races

Monica - Surgical Assistant

I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of North Florida. During my first few years of school I assisted in an oral surgery office in South Florida. While continuing my education in Jacksonville, I worked with Dr. Field assisting part time. After graduation I worked at Shands Jacksonville in patient education before returning to work with Dr. Field full time. I enjoy assisting with a wide range of surgeries and take pride in catering to the unique needs of each patient during their visit. In my free time I enjoy running, biking and tennis.

Lexi - Surgical Assistant

I went through the dental assisting program at FCCJ and graduated in June 2006. I started working for Dr. Field in September of that year. What I enjoy about my profession is helping in surgeries. I love working in an office where I learn something new every day. While away from work, I enjoy traveling, working out, reading and going to the beach.

Elly - Surgical Assistant

I began my dental career right out of high school as a registered dental assistant and lab assistant. In 2002, I graduated from Florida State College at Jacksonville Dental Hygiene Program as a licensed dental hygienist.

I consider myself a compassionate person dedicated to providing an exceptional experience while helping you achieve optimum oral health. I love being a dental hygienist and view all our families like family.

I’m multilingual and love translating Spanish and Greek whenever we have a patient with these backgrounds! I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling abroad, Pilates, and being outdoors in my spare time.

Carmen - Dental Hygienist

I have been a dental hygienist since 2005. Upon graduating from the Florida State College at Jacksonville Dental Hygiene program in 2003, I began working at a cosmetic dentistry practice before moving into periodontics.

What I enjoy the most about my profession is changing how people feel about dentistry and making it a pleasant experience.

I prefer periodontology to general dentistry because I know we can do more specialized procedures that can enhance your health and make a lasting difference.

When I’m not working, I love to travel and ride bikes on the beach.
