Dollie Herr has been a hygienist at our practice since 2001. She was born in Coldwater, Michigan. She raised her family in the Kalamazoo area. She obtained her dental hygiene degree at Kellog Community College in Battle Creek, Michigan. Dollie continues to play an active role in the American Dental Hygienists’ Association.

This lead to an opportunity for her to develop her own nonprofit portable dental clinic, which was able to provide dental services to the uninsured and Medicaid population in the surrounding counties. Dollie relocated to Maryland in 2010 with an agency as a temporary clinical dental hygienist, and within eight weeks, she decided to find a full-time position and call Maryland her home. Dollie enjoys playing golf and loves to cook. It brings her great joy to spend time with her family and friends.
