Cory
Office Manager
Cory has come to wear a lot of hats in the dental office. He may pick up the phone when you call the office or send you one of many letters throughout the year as a patient or new patient. He helps the girls with their technological challenges and helps in the office maintenance along the way. His main goal is to ensure that everyone enjoys their entire experience here at the dental office.
He enjoys socializing with patients and getting to know the many individuals that come through the office door. He also acts as a personal assistant (and husband) to Dr. Ritzau to keep her busy and happy!
