Ashley, Office Manager
With about two decades of experience in the world of dental care and counting, Ashley remains just as passionate about helping patients reach their smile goals as the day she started. She began her career as a dental assistant/front office/insurance coordinator in 2005, receiving her X-ray certification as well as attending continuing education courses. Two years later, she started working for Dr. Guy Walton in her previous titles in addition to billing coordinator. A decade later, the practice became what it is today, and she’s been one of our greatest assets in making our dental office a warm and pleasant place for patients to get the care they deserve.
Originally from Hurt, VA, Ashley is happily married to her high school sweetheart, and together they have three wonderful boys, two cats, and a dog. She enjoys attending her children’s sporting events and watching and cheering them on during their soccer, track, or baseball games. In her spare time, she loves to craft, go on walks, and do anything outdoors.
Morgan, Front Office
Born and raised in Chatham, VA, Morgan finds it very fulfilling to interact with our patients and develop strong bonds with them so that they can have the best experience at the dentist. With a few years of experience under her belt, she loves learning every day while working alongside an incredible group of passionate people. She attended Danville Community College to complete the Basic Dental Assisting program and interned at Danville Dental Associates and the office of Dr. Donna Helton before taking and passing her Dental Assisting National Boards exams. With this, she became certified in Radiology and Infection Control.
If you don’t find her at the office, Morgan is likely spending time with family and loved ones. She also adores her pets and feels life would be dull without them. Aside from dentistry, she enjoys shopping, reading, painting, planting flowers, and going on motorcycle/boat rides. Her favorite vacation spots are the beach and the Great Smokey Mountains.
