Meet Our Team
Carrie, Registered Dental Hygienist
"Dentistry has come a long way – there are many options for the patient now to ensure their comfort. We know that dental fear is real, so we always work closely with patients that are nervous about seeing the dentist to support them through each step, going at their pace and explaining what to expect. We have seen many patients overcome these fears with this approach, which means a lot to us too!
I really enjoy this practice and being a part of Dr. Atchley’s team. We have a light-hearted spirit, and each patient is treated as an individual, with unique care, concerns and needs. We care for our patients as we would our own family."
Carrie has served the dental profession since 1996. Her commitment to providing her patients with the latest information about oral health and the connections to overall body health is one of the many reasons that they love coming to see her!
Halie, Dental Assistant / Dental Hygienist in Training
"I love bonding with patients who previously ‘hated going to the dentist’ and helping to make the experience better for them. We always talk with our patients to learn about their comfort level and approach their care at a pace that works best for them. It is so rewarding to see a happy smile and get a thumbs-up from a previously nervous patient after a fear-free visit with us!
One of my favorite moments was a patient that had her front teeth restored by Dr. Atchley with cosmetic dental crowns. She was so pleased with her new smile that she was crying happy tears."
Halie joined our team in 2020 as a dental assistant. She is currently working on her dental hygienist license. Away from the office, Halie enjoys cooking for family and friends, and she loves sunrises, sunsets, music and spending time with her family.
Emily, Dental Assistant
"Dr. Atchley is the best dentist I've seen when it comes to painless procedures. She always makes sure the patient's comfort is top priority while they are in her chair.
Our work environment is professional but relaxed and cheerful. We get the job done but can laugh and have a good time while doing it.
I love getting to know our patients, everyone is so kind! A very special memory for me was when I was out for a week after my husband had been in a bad accident, a patient asked about me while I was out. She returned to the office after a couple of weeks and asked about my husband (who she has never met); she told me that she had been praying for him."
Emily joined our team in 2022. Her favorite pastimes include spending time with her husband and their families, watching Auburn football, playing pickleball and playing with her dog.
