When her youngest started kindergarten it was time to re-enter the work force. In 2009 MarciJo joined Elias Dental. She is now the friendly voice you hear when you call our practice. She loves this position; her previous dental training helps her guide you when you have questions and concerns.

Crystal joined the team at Elias Dental in Fall of 2012,after staying at home caring for her young family for a few years.

Her priority is making her patients feel comfortable and relaxed during their hygiene treatment and endeavors to get to know  each of her patients and adjust treatment to their individual needs. Knowing the significant impact that improving oral hygiene has on overall health is what keeps Crystal passionate about what she does.
