Michelle Blanco

Dental Assistant

Michelle is originally from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. She came to Key West in the early 80s where she met and fell in love with her husband and Island life. You will most often find Michelle out on the water with her family, but never past the reef because even though she is married to a commercial fisherman she gets seasick! One of Michelle's favorite quotes is "If you don't have a smile, you can borrow one of min!" It has been her pleasure to serve Key West as a Dental Assistant for over 25 years. People say that the eyes are windows to the soul, but she says a smile is the way to a persons heart.

Debbie Lou Sattelmeier

Dental Assistant

When Debbie was young, she was terrified of the dentist then her friend referred her to a gentle dentist and turned around her fears. Debbie wants to help to make the dental visit easier on patients that are afraid. She enjoys helping people and tries to tell them all “don’t wait until it hurts” or you may lose your tooth. Checkups are important! In her free time, she loves boating and being on the ocean.
