Kerri

Dental Hygienist

Kerri grew up on a small farm in Holly, Colorado. As a member of Future Farmers of America, she raised pigs and developed a love for animals, as evidenced by her two cats, Rigby and Snooki. She went on to attend Lamar Community College, where she was a member of the volleyball team, before pursuing a degree in Dental Hygiene from Pueblo Community College.

Kerri has been successfully practicing dental hygiene for over 14 years in Colorado. She has always enjoyed going to the dentist and will try to make you feel the same way when you are in her dental chair. She measures her success by her ability to create an enjoyable, comfortable experience for her everyone and loves converting nervous people to happy patients.

When she is not in the dental office, you can find Kerri on the roller rink. Her roller derby name is “Farm Fresh” and she plays blocker for “The Bad Apples”. But do not worry, she may be tough on the rink, but she is always gentle on our patients.
