I have worked in the dental field for eight years total and spent the last year of that time at Cornerstone. I am currently the Office Manager and Business Assistant in our Davenport location and take care of our patients while they are checking in, scheduling, and inquiring on their accounts. During my time in the dental field I have had the opportunity to really learn the ins and outs of dental care and have become a go-to for patients and team members for insurance questions and even complicated treatment questions. I have loved learning more and more over the years!

My favorite value here at Cornerstone is The Golden Rule because It kind of umbrellas the other core values- Family First and Willing to Wash the Dishes (everyone pitches in). When everyone is following The Golden Rule we have an office full of happy employees willing to do what it takes to help their coworkers, patients, and office be the best and succeed.

Personally, I have three kids (Amity, Elijah, and Xavier), two granddaughters (Amila and Ellianna), and two cats (Cali and Oliver). I’m a fan of and love attending Iowa basketball, the Cubs, and the Chiefs games whenever possible! I love warm weather, being outside, golfing, fishing, kayaking, live music and the beach!

My hope for our patients is that they enjoy every visit with us and leave our office with 100% satisfaction.

I am completely new to the field of dentistry although I’ve been a patient at Cornerstone for several years. I am eager to learn and get to know our patients! I have a background in communications, easily pick up on business functions, and enjoy interacting with others so I feel positive about the job I’m doing every day!

When I think about the values at Cornerstone, how can I pick one?! Not only do I love our core values, I love that we work hard to follow by discussing regularly, recognizing team members for putting these values into practice, etc. The culture here is so special! As a busy mom, I’m overly grateful that Cornerstone values family. As a new employee, I appreciate how everyone takes care of each other. No one is left on their own; everyone pulls together and helps where needed. Our patients get the best of us every day!

My husband, Joe, and I have been married since 2003. We have a daughter born in 2007, a son born in 2009, a daughter born in 2012, and a son born in 2014. Joe is a principal and we have a small lake house. We love spending summers at the lake as a family! We have a mini golden-doodle named Ruby. Our kids are involved in football, wrestling, basketball, track, cross country, choir, and church. Joe and I enjoy daily walks on the trails.

I hope our patients know that the team puts their heart and energy into giving them the best care they can! I hope they feel valued, cared for, and heard. I hope they tell their friends and family about us!

I have been with Cornerstone since 2020 and in the dental field since 2010. I started my career as a dental assistant and spent the years just prior to Cornerstone teaching dental assisting courses with a local college. Since starting at Cornerstone I have worked as both a Business Assistant and a Dental Assistant, which is my primary role. I enjoy teaching and learning, but what I enjoy most is the connection I have with our patients!

The Cornerstone core value that means the most to me is Family First because the way we operate is a testament to the fact that we all truly care about one another and each other’s families, patients included!

I have been married since 2012 and have three amazing boys, two amazing step-daughters, and a house full of fur babies too!

My hope for our patients is that they feel our core values- The Golden Rule, Family First, and that we’re Willing to Wash the Dishes (do whatever it takes!)- and know that we genuinely care about them and their oral health.

I have been with Cornerstone for 9 years and a dental assistant for 25 years total. I am an Expanded Functions Level I Assistant which enables me to assist with a wide variety of dental procedures and I find a lot of joy helping my teammates with the odds and ends that come up throughout the course of a day. I enjoy assisting with dental procedures but I also get a lot of satisfaction out of helping out with anything in the office- whether it is working on computers or ordering supplies- I just like to stay busy!

The Cornerstone value that means the most to me is Family First. Cornerstone has been so good at being flexible when my kids were little allowing me to pick them up and take them to school and leaving when they were sick. The Golden Rule is important as well because I feel like I treat others as I would want to be treated and I feel everyone here is the same way. Our patients are cared for in this way.

I have been married to my husband Tony for 23 years, we have four kids: Nicholas 21, Sam 19, Carter 17 and Emmy 15. We also have two dogs, Bear and Moose so there is always something going on in our personal lives whether it is sports for one of the kids, or spending time at our lake house on the weekends with the dogs.

My hope for our patients is that we make them feel comfortable when they are here and they trust us with their care.

I currently have 14 years in the Dental field and have spent 9 of those years with Cornerstone Family Dentistry. I worked in our Morrison office originally and later moved to our Davenport office as we grew larger. Over the years I have wanted to learn even more about dentistry and worked to become a Level II expanded Function Dental Assistant. Doing this allows me to help our patients even more with their dental needs!

Family First is one of our Core Values at Cornerstone. Cornerstone is very flexible when it comes to family first. From my children being sick to Christmas concerts, they are able to make sure I’m there for my family. I am able to be available for my family when they need me and when it matters, so when I’m in the office I can give 100% to our patients without distraction or worry!

I have been married to my husband for 3 years and we have two daughters: Shaya, 9, and Savannah, 2. We have three dogs named Dale, Dixie, and Zoey. In our free time we enjoy camping and boating on the river as a family!
My number one hope for our patients is that they trust us for their family’s dental care!

I received my dental assisting degree from DMACC in 2000 and have worked for 24 years in the dental field, with the last 10 years at Cornerstone. I recently went back to school to obtain an Expanded Functions Level II certification from the University of Minnesota and completed that in the fall of 2023. This certification allows me to perform more in-depth procedures within our office and has taught me so many things about how to better care for our patients.

A Core Value at Cornerstone that has greatly impacted my life is Family first. Our office hours give me the flexibility to spend more time with my family. This also allows me to attend school functions and sporting events. I can do my best for my family and our patients and don’t have to choose one over the other!

I live in Clinton, IA with my husband, Elijah, and our son, Kannon. We also have three grown daughters: Syrene, Jade, and Ravae. When I’m not at work I enjoy reading (listening to audiobooks), working out, traveling, and spending time with my family and dogs.

I always hope that our patients feel we provide nonjudgmental care, and that we’re making top-quality dentistry affordable.

I have been with Cornerstone since Feb 2024 after a long-distance move to the area but have worked in the dental field for since 2021 as a Registered Dental Hygienist. I love to work with patients who have struggled with maintaining their oral health and need more extensive treatment to get back on track. I absolutely love a good success story!

The most obvious value as I’ve joined Cornerstone is that everyone here is Willing to Wash the Dishes – I can rely on my teammates to get jobs done, nothing falls on one person, everyone helps everyone out! It makes the day faster and more fun!

In my personal life I love all things active: biking, running, lifting, golfing, and sand volleyball. I’m originally from Northwest, Iowa, by Okoboji, but my husband is a farmer north of Davenport, which has brought me this way. We love to travel, especially internationally! I have seen countless country artists, and I always have a country concert on the books!

My ultimate hope is for my patients to feel cared about. I want them to be educated in their own oral health, and I hope I can impact each of them in a positive way!

I have been a hygienist since 2000 and have been with Cornerstone since 2017. I enjoy building relationships with my patients. My favorites are those who I’ve seen my entire career!

The Golden Rule is my favorite Cornerstone Core Value to apply to both our team members and our patients. Dentistry is not always easy for us or our patients so I feel like if we all use this rule we can make it through anything!

I’ve been married to my husband since 2004 and am a mom of two grown boys. I have four dogs and two cats at my crazy house but love every minute of it!

I want our patients to have a good experience and want them to return for future appointments. I have compassion for the “scared” and “fearful” patients. My hope is to provide quality care and ensure comfort, both physically and emotionally for all of our patients. I love and enjoy what I do!!

Natalie has been working with families since 2001 and has been an IBCLC (Lactation Consultant) since 2011. She first partnered with Dr. Mindy in 2013 and joined Cornerstone, seeing patients in the office beginning in 2016. During her time at Cornerstone, she has helped thousands of families in conjunction with our doctors by working through feeding issues as well as supporting them during frenectomy procedures.

Natalie lives out the Golden Rule in both her personal and professional life. At all times, treating the families she sees with the respect and consideration she would expect for herself and her own family. Natalie shared that her alignment with the values at Cornerstone is centered on being, “part of a team that values how we treat each other.”

When asked about family life, Natalie will tell you she’s been married for more years than she’s willing to disclose! She enjoys reading, studying, and spending time with her four children and their “people”.  They are a “cat family” and currently have three cats and some horses at grandma’s house. Natalie’s compassion overflows for all others- her pets, her friends, and her family, and we see it in action daily with her patients at Cornerstone!

As a provider, Natalie’s hope for her patients is that they leave the office feeling supported, comfortable, and equipped with a solid plan for their family.

It’s hard to believe I have worked in dentistry for 15 years! I’ve worked in the dental field since June 2009 and joined Cornerstone in 2015. I’ve worn many hats, gaining experience as a Dental Assistant and a Business Assistant but I’m currently the Chief Accounts Manager. In my position I handle the technicalities of patient billing, and the deeper insurance claim responsibilities that must be facilitated day-to-day in order to have a successful dental practice. I oversee all accounts receivable for the offices and our Business Assistants send any tricky patient accounts or requests my way!

We have 3 values at Cornerstone: The Golden Rule, Family First, and Willing to Wash the Dishes. Without a doubt, The Golden Rule means the most to me because if you follow the Golden Rule in all areas of your life, family can be put first when needed and the willingness to wash dishes comes naturally. Nothing but good comes from the golden rule!

I’m from a smaller town in Southeast Iowa originally but I moved to Davenport with my family in 2009. I have been with my Husband, James, since 2003 and we have 2 amazing children together. My husband and I love to take short day trips together to try new food and enjoy new destinations. I always look for scenery that reminds me of something that Bob Ross would paint!!! I’m a Dachshund enthusiast but our whole family shares a general love for animals. We have just enough fur babies at home to make our hearts happy!

My hope for our patients is that we make coming to the dentist easy and we earn their trust while building long-standing relationships. I love watching our patient families grow up and knowing that we’ve positively impacted their lives.

I have 7 years in the dental field (all at Cornerstone) with a previous history in healthcare administration. In a nutshell, I oversee the operations for all of our practices from patient satisfaction, to human resources, to project management. Most dental offices have traditional office managers but with the demands of organizing the operations of 3 offices, we operate differently. We have incredible Business Assistants and teams at each location to serve our unique communities. My role is to help build the best teams and processes in our offices and partner with our owners to provide the best and most sustainable care we can for our patients!

My life has been completely changed by working in an environment where The Golden Rule is at the heart of what we do. I try to consider how my attitude and decisions impact those around me. I’ve found that when the focus of life can be treating others with kindness, respect, and even (a lot) of grace and humor, the rest just falls into place. I get to show up every day as the truest version of myself, surrounded by a group of genuinely amazing people!

I was born out of state but moved to IL, where I currently live with my husband of many years and my two boys. Some people have hobbies they enjoy – I enjoy just about anything – as long as I’m with my family! I love making my house a home, by the way it feels when you walk in, to the food I make for loved ones. I live my life with faith at the center and I strive to walk that faith out in my personal life and my time at the office.

I love to brighten someone’s day! Oftentimes I do this with humor (I am silly by nature). This includes our patients at times, but it ultimately starts with our team members. I truly believe that in order for our patients to have a positive experience, our team members must first feel genuinely positive about what they are doing. All of us at some time or another have background noise in our lives – it might be grief, finances, relational stress, the list goes on. As a leader in the practice, my top priority is to relate well to the team and our patients with the hope that their lives may somehow be improved by our interactions!
