Dentist Columbia SC | Meet the Team | Griffin DMD

Meet the Team

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. For half of the three years she’s been here she assisted Dr. Griffin before advancing to the front, so she knows the ropes of the dental field. While her heart remains in the Lowcountry, she enjoys the opportunities provided in the Midlands while advancing her career at WildeWood Aesthetic Dentistry as our business manager.

Megan is one of the newer additions 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.

Kristen is also one of the newer additions to our team here at WildeWood Aesthetic Dentistry as our hygiene specialist. she was born in Petoskey, Michigan and is originally from a small town called Central Lake located near Traverse City. She graduated high school in 2004 and went on to the University of Detroit-Mercy where she received her bachelor's degree in science with a certificate in dental hygiene. She is a warmhearted individual who loves spending time with her boyfriend and dog. She is a huge Michigan fan, although we are trying to make her a Gamecock fan also. Kristin enjoys getting to know each and every patient while seeing that their visit is comfortable and pleasant. We enjoy working with her and you will certainly enjoy her company as well.
