Crystal,

Crystal has been working at Potts Dental as Office Manager since 2010 after moving to California from the East Coast. Through the years she has had great opportunities to expand her knowledge in the general dental, orthodontic, cosmetic, sedation, and implant fields. She firmly believes that dentistry is about relationships, and not the “wait-in-line” or “take-a-number” corporate business that seem to be popping up everywhere. When not making the world a brighter place, one healthy tooth at a time, she enjoys spending time with her two children and 3 ragdoll kittens.
