Meet Our Team

KELLY

DENTAL HYGIENIST

Kelly attended The Ohio State University, where she was unsure of what career path she wanted to pursue. She explored dental hygiene (at her mother’s request – she’s a dental assistant), and eventually decided it was a good fit for her. Fast forward over thirty years, and Kelly still loves seeing patients for their regular checkup visits because you never know what fun each day will bring.

She says that the entire Buckeye Pediatrics team works well together because everyone truly wants the very best outcome for each child during their visit to the office. Kelly really enjoys being able to work with children because they’re the funniest, most spontaneous human beings. She’s friendly, compassionate, reliable, and a great listener with an even better sense of humor. She keeps busy at home spending time with her husband and three daughters. The family likes shopping, dining out, walking their dogs in the evening, watching HGTV, and vacationing at their home away from home in Hilton Head, SC.

SUSAN R.

DENTAL HYGIENIST

Susan is a graduate of The Ohio State University (OSU) with both bachelor’s and master’s degrees. She has been working in dentistry for nearly four decades, with the majority of her career spent working with children or pediatric smile care. Susan has instructed and mentored dental hygiene students from OSU during their pediatric rotation practice experiences at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

She’s served on the advisory board for the dental hygiene program at Columbus State, where she also was an instructor. Susan says she loves being an integral part of the services we provide, catering to children and their unique dental needs. When she’s not at the office, you can usually find Susan spending time with her family, including her husband of nearly three decades and her three daughters. The entire family loves to take vacations, traveling the U.S. and abroad when they have the opportunity.

HANNAH B.

OPERATIONS MANAGER

Hannah attended the Ohio State University, the University of Pittsburgh, and Columbus State Community College where she studied everything that interested her and learned, through all of it, how much she loved to help people and solve problems. That led her to manage medical practices, which she has been doing since 2014. Hannahs says her job as operations manager is new every day.

She gets to help patients, build and support our incredible team, and make sure everyone continues to keep learning and growing. A lot of days, she takes on the role of ‘Bob the Builder,’ asking herself, “Can we build/fix/do it? Yes, we can!” Hannah is also excellent at finding fun new ways for the doctors and staff to help the Reynoldsburg community. She says that working in our office is a wonderful opportunity because the doctors and entire staff are warm, compassionate, and passionate about helping all kids have healthy lives and happy appointments. She loves being a part of a team that welcomes all kinds of families with kindness and a desire to educate and inform. When she’s not in the office, Hannah loves to travel. She lived and volunteered in Ireland for several years. She’s intrigued by seeing new places and how people are all the same everywhere, even if we eat or speak differently. She also loves her church, her dogs, good books, and exploring the Columbus area.

DAYANA F.

LEAD ASSISTANT

Dayana is a graduate of Alterius Career College. She says that when she walked into our office for the first time for her interview, she knew this was where she belonged. As part of the team as our lead assistant, Dayana helps by providing our patients with high-quality care by performing a variety of office and lab duties. Dayana says every day is a wonderful and unique experience because our team has a great connection with one another and our family of patients.

She says the patient care we provide and the smiling faces we create make our dentistry style show special. Dayana is passionate, independent, dependable, outgoing, caring, and committed.

Renajia is dependable, loving, kind, a “go-getter,” and someone who loves a good laugh.

MARTA B.

PATIENT CARE COORDINATOR

Marta is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh. She stays busy at our pediatric dental office answering phones, scheduling appointments, and generally helping everyone out whenever and wherever she can. Marta says she loves being one of the first people you meet when you come to the office, and she loves getting to know patients and their parents. She says working at our office is a unique experience because of how friendly and kind everyone is, along with the fact that we also have a bank vault in our waiting room!

When you meet Marta, you’ll find that she’s faithful, considerate, and expressive. Her family is still getting to know the area, but being active in their local community and church has helped.
