Tonya relocated from Summerville while attending the University of South Carolina, where she earned her degree in Biology. Tonya is a huge sports fan-never missing a Gamecocks game whether it’s football or basketball. She is also an avid runner, taking part in various races in the Midlands and Lowcountry. She loves spending time with her family, and socializing with friends. She and her husband now have one beautiful little boy and live downtown. She has been an outstanding team member for almost 7 years. The first 2 were spent "chairside" with Dr. Griffin learning the intricacies of advanced dental procedures. She is a "student" at heart, always seeking to learn. she sought to learn more about dental business by working and training in the front office. She has been our Business Manager for several years and now is well trained in all aspects of dentistry.

Megan is our newest addition to the team as one of our treatment coordinators. She was also born and raised here in Columbia, and graduated from Ridge View High School. Upon graduating she went on to attend Midlands Technical College, where she earned her dental assisting certificate. She has not been working in the dental field very long, but she has gained tons of experience from making her rounds to various offices in the Midlands. It was through these rounds that we became acquainted with her, hiring her upon graduation. She is a very knowledgeable and dependable team member here, making sure that each patient is thoroughly taken care of during their treatment. She is also a huge Carolina fan, hardly ever missing a football game. Her spare time is usually spent with friends and family or walking her dog. She also loves to indulge herself in shopping from time to time or a trip to the gym. She has not been here very long, but her steadfast motivation and genuine caring nature for our guests has made her a huge asset to our team.
