Kellie — Dental Hygienist

If you hear laughter echoing down the hall, chances are good it’s Kellie. Kellie has been a hygienist since 1984. Although her technical skills are outstanding, what sets her apart is her genuine love for her patients. When she’s away from the office, she enjoys spending time with her husband, two daughters and her “four-legged children.” Her hobbies include gardening, roller blading (she’s a former Olympic caliber figure skater), boating and triatholons.

Donna — Certified Dental Assistant

We love Donna for her big heart, soft Alabaman drawl and sharp wit. She was raised near Gulf Shores, Alabama where she practiced as a Dental Assistant and a Dental Hygienist for 10 years before moving to Keller in 2003. She enjoys spending time with her husband and children, dancing, traveling and enjoying the great outdoors. She prides herself on making your visit as comfortable as possible.

Connie — Financial Coordinator

Connie is our resident go-to person. She comes to us after a successful career in corporate America. While she is a jack-of-all-trades, her expertise is helping you understand your dental insurance. She is very proficient at helping you maximize your benefits and minimize out-of-pocket costs. A native of the metroplex, Connie and her husband are very close with their grown daughters and beautiful grandchildren. She enjoys traveling, spending time with family, dark chocolate, volunteering at church and spoiling those adorable grandkids!

Tanya — Certified Dental Assistant

Tanya is our rock. She was Dr. Cornelius’ very first assistant after graduating from dental school and has been with him ever since. Dr. Cornelius tells everyone that she has “raised him since he was a pup.” She really enjoys the satisfaction she receives from helping people. A lifelong resident of this area, Tanya graduated from Haltom High School and attended UTA on a softball scholarship. She lives in Keller with her husband, daughter and two sons. In her spare time you’ll find her playing softball, traveling and spending time with family and friends.

Angi – Appointment Coordinator

If you have ever stepped foot in our office, then you know Angi has never met a stranger. Her vivacious personality and sense of humor endear her to patients and staff alike. She began her career in dentistry in 1995 and has worked in all aspects of both general dentistry and orthodontics. She moved to Keller from Tulsa, Oklahoma and has really enjoyed becoming a naturalized Texan. She and her husband enjoy listening to live music and keep busy exploring their new surroundings. They have one “baby,” their miniature schnauzer, Chester.

Wendy – Dental Hygienist

Wendy is our diminutive dynamo. What she lacks in height, she makes up in personality. Her dry wit and matter-of-fact sensibility keep us in stitches. She grew up in Midlothian, Texas and moved to Keller in 2003. She has been practicing hygiene since 1997. When she’s not at work, you’ll find her spending time with family or taking part in outdoor activities.

Patty – Dental Hygienist

Patty is magnificent educator. She takes great pride in making sure you understand everything that is going on regarding your oral care. She is a lifelong Tarrant County resident and a proud product of Haltom High School. When she and her husband aren’t enjoying time with their son and daughter, they love to watch live comedy.
