I have been in dentistry since 2013. I began my career as a dental assistant and have over 10 years of dental assisting experience. My current role is Office Manager and Business Assistant where I enjoy helping, educating, and interacting with patients. I have been with Cornerstone for one year in our Camanche location and love our community!
Cornerstone treats their staff and patients with the core values of Family First, the Golden Rule, and Willing to Wash the Dishes. The one that has meant the most to me is Family First. There’s only one word that comes to mind when it comes to this core value and that word is grateful. I am grateful that I have the flexibility and support to put my family first!
I currently live in Savanna, IL with my husband, Sean, and our three children, Garrett, Autumn, and Lucas. We also have two cats named Bandit and Smokey. In my free time I enjoy going to my children’s sporting events and spending time with my family.
My hope for our patients is that they can see how passionate we are about what we do and that we take our time to build a relationship of trust with them. We want our patients to feel confident and comfortable that they are receiving the best dental care.
I have spent two years in the field of dentistry and the last several months at Cornerstone after moving to the local area. You will see me in our Morrison office working with insurance, patient accounts, and helping with various business needs.
The core value here at Cornerstone that means the most to me is Family First. A team that values my family’s well-being as much as I do makes it so much more rewarding to work for them. This team is a family in itself and we treat our patients like family too!
I was born and raised in DeKalb, IL and recently moved to the Dixon area with my boyfriend of 7 years. We rescued a 3 year old Pitbull mix, named Harold. He sure keeps us on our toes and makes life interesting! I enjoy spending my free time outdoors!
My biggest hope for our patients is that we exceed their expectations and they are excited to return for their next visit.
I grew up in the Davenport/Bettendorf area. I’ve always loved the sense of community here. It’s been so nice to come full circle and be back in the place that feels most like home.
I have worked in the dental field for a total of 6 years with my last two at Cornerstone. I have a wide range of experience working with dental implants and general dentistry and just love to keep busy! My favorite part of the job is making a personal connection with our patients. I know they come to our office with different fears or needs and I enjoy comforting them and knowing that they leave feeling better than they came in.
We talk about our core values at Cornerstone all the time. My favorite is The Golden Rule, to “Treat others the way you want to be treated”. I believe this is a life-changing approach that gives you the chance to seek the good while spreading positivity all around.
I’m a busy mom of three kids, married 15 years but we’ve been together for 23! We enjoy spending time together as a family with our three dogs, Zeke, Penny, and Nalah.
My hope for our patients is that they leave our office with happy, healthy smiles!
I have been in the dental field for 6 years total and have spent all of my time with Cornerstone. I started here as a dental assisting student and just knew it was the right place for me! Through the years I have learned about so many different dental procedures and have gained so much experience because of the doctors in our practice and the different services they offer. It has allowed me to become a really well-rounded assistant and even help out in our other offices at times.
Our core values are Family First, Willing to Wash the Dishes, and The Golden Rule- my personal favorite! I think The Golden Rule is the most important because mutual respect throughout the office can bring positivity that can be felt by the staff and patients alike.
I have an amazing fiance, Brandon, and together we have three girls: Haley, Claire, and Vivian. We also have a little golden doodle named Vallie.
My hope for our patients is that we can change their perspective on how coming to a dental office feels and they can find comfort in our staff and practice.
I have spent 12 years in the field and I’ve been here since day one!
Family First means the most to me BUT they all mean SO much to me. Our Core Values also include The Golden Rule and Willing to Wash the Dishes and I am a FIRM believer in ALL of them. They all three make work a better place and our team does so well with living them daily!
I am a mother of two boys – six and eight. I’ve been married for eleven years to my amazing husband. We have a lot of fun on our little hobby farm with eight goats and 15 chickens, a dog and one kitty! Most likely we won’t stop there!
My hope is that when a patient leaves my room, they leave better…whether it be in a better mood…having a better understanding about a dental need…or a better overall feel about themselves. I love to help people in any way I can!
I have been a hygienist since 2000 and have been with Cornerstone since 2017. I enjoy building relationships with my patients. My favorites are those who I’ve seen my entire career!
The Golden Rule is my favorite Cornerstone Core Value to apply to both our team members and our patients. Dentistry is not always easy for us or our patients so I feel like if we all use this rule we can make it through anything!
I’ve been married to my husband since 2004 and am a mom of two grown boys. I have four dogs and two cats at my crazy house but love every minute of it!
I want our patients to have a good experience and want them to return for future appointments. I have compassion for the “scared” and “fearful” patients. My hope is to provide quality care and ensure comfort, both physically and emotionally for all of our patients. I love and enjoy what I do!!
I have 13 years of experience as a Registered Dental Hygienist. The last year of that has been with Cornerstone, where I plan to retire! As a care provider, the connection I make with my patients is something I love about my job! I enjoy learning about the lives and backgrounds of the people I come in contact with every day!
Our core value that means the most to me is Family First because it creates an overall better work atmosphere. Being able to put my family first with the unwavering support of my work family makes each and every day a positive experience!
I’ve been married to my husband, Joe, for ten years. We have two kiddos! Rhett is eight and Mallori, six. I was born and raised with horses, we have three! We also have two goats and a miniature schnauzer. I love camping, any outdoor activities and most sports!
I hope that all of our patients leave every visit feeling valued, heard and comfortable! I hope that the trust that I have in our doctors and staff is portrayed to our patients!
Natalie has been working with families since 2001 and has been an IBCLC (Lactation Consultant) since 2011. She first partnered with Dr. Mindy in 2013 and joined Cornerstone, seeing patients in the office beginning in 2016. During her time at Cornerstone, she has helped thousands of families in conjunction with our doctors by working through feeding issues as well as supporting them during frenectomy procedures.
Natalie lives out the Golden Rule in both her personal and professional life. At all times, treating the families she sees with the respect and consideration she would expect for herself and her own family. Natalie shared that her alignment with the values at Cornerstone is centered on being, “part of a team that values how we treat each other.”
When asked about family life, Natalie will tell you she’s been married for more years than she’s willing to disclose! She enjoys reading, studying, and spending time with her four children and their “people”. They are a “cat family” and currently have three cats and some horses at grandma’s house. Natalie’s compassion overflows for all others- her pets, her friends, and her family, and we see it in action daily with her patients at Cornerstone!
As a provider, Natalie’s hope for her patients is that they leave the office feeling supported, comfortable, and equipped with a solid plan for their family.
It’s hard to believe I have worked in dentistry for 15 years! I’ve worked in the dental field since June 2009 and joined Cornerstone in 2015. I’ve worn many hats, gaining experience as a Dental Assistant and a Business Assistant but I’m currently the Chief Accounts Manager. In my position I handle the technicalities of patient billing, and the deeper insurance claim responsibilities that must be facilitated day-to-day in order to have a successful dental practice. I oversee all accounts receivable for the offices and our Business Assistants send any tricky patient accounts or requests my way!
We have 3 values at Cornerstone: The Golden Rule, Family First, and Willing to Wash the Dishes. Without a doubt, The Golden Rule means the most to me because if you follow the Golden Rule in all areas of your life, family can be put first when needed and the willingness to wash dishes comes naturally. Nothing but good comes from the golden rule!
I’m from a smaller town in Southeast Iowa originally but I moved to Davenport with my family in 2009. I have been with my Husband, James, since 2003 and we have 2 amazing children together. My husband and I love to take short day trips together to try new food and enjoy new destinations. I always look for scenery that reminds me of something that Bob Ross would paint!!! I’m a Dachshund enthusiast but our whole family shares a general love for animals. We have just enough fur babies at home to make our hearts happy!
My hope for our patients is that we make coming to the dentist easy and we earn their trust while building long-standing relationships. I love watching our patient families grow up and knowing that we’ve positively impacted their lives.
I have 7 years in the dental field (all at Cornerstone) with a previous history in healthcare administration. In a nutshell, I oversee the operations for all of our practices from patient satisfaction, to human resources, to project management. Most dental offices have traditional office managers but with the demands of organizing the operations of 3 offices, we operate differently. We have incredible Business Assistants and teams at each location to serve our unique communities. My role is to help build the best teams and processes in our offices and partner with our owners to provide the best and most sustainable care we can for our patients!
My life has been completely changed by working in an environment where The Golden Rule is at the heart of what we do. I try to consider how my attitude and decisions impact those around me. I’ve found that when the focus of life can be treating others with kindness, respect, and even (a lot) of grace and humor, the rest just falls into place. I get to show up every day as the truest version of myself, surrounded by a group of genuinely amazing people!
I was born out of state but moved to IL, where I currently live with my husband of many years and my two boys. Some people have hobbies they enjoy – I enjoy just about anything – as long as I’m with my family! I love making my house a home, by the way it feels when you walk in, to the food I make for loved ones. I live my life with faith at the center and I strive to walk that faith out in my personal life and my time at the office.
I love to brighten someone’s day! Oftentimes I do this with humor (I am silly by nature). This includes our patients at times, but it ultimately starts with our team members. I truly believe that in order for our patients to have a positive experience, our team members must first feel genuinely positive about what they are doing. All of us at some time or another have background noise in our lives – it might be grief, finances, relational stress, the list goes on. As a leader in the practice, my top priority is to relate well to the team and our patients with the hope that their lives may somehow be improved by our interactions!
I grew up in Erie, IL and attended Erie High School. I was involved in a variety of academic groups, sports and cheerleading. My love of sport and physical activity translated to my chosen area of study in college. In addition, immediately following high school I became a personal trainer, group fitness instructor and eventually a Strength and Conditioning Specialist for a variety of recreational, collegiate and Olympic athlete populations. Fitness and training continues to be a big part of my own life, and I still do some consulting work in the fitness/wellness field today!
I attended Illinois State University for my B.S. and M.S. degrees, earning my Masters in Kinesiology/Exercise Physiology. Following my Master’s degree I did a post-graduate fellowship in a biomechanics lab in Vail, CO and worked for an orthopedic surgeon in Breckenridge, CO. After moving back to the midwest, I attended the University of Iowa, earning a PhD in Health and Human Physiology (2010) with a research focus on physical activity and bone health. I have spent the last 25 years in education and research, with the majority of my career spent as a professor of exercise science.
I learned about Cornerstone from a friend who felt my background and skills would be a good fit for a new administrative role Cornerstone had developed. After learning about the values, positive business model and the caring nature of the owners and team, I knew I wanted to be part of the Cornerstone team, joining in 2025. Because of my educational background and passion for helping others achieve positive health and wellness outcomes, taking on a role in a clinical health field has been a natural transition. While I have a great deal to learn about dentistry specifically, it has been an interesting and fun challenge!
I live in Illinois with my husband, Brandon, and son, Colton (2016). We enjoy family movie nights, the outdoors, sports/hiking and an occasional Whitey’s ice cream run. We also love sharing a meal or sitting around a bonfire with friends and family.
My favorite Cornerstone Core Value is the Golden Rule because it is aligned with my Christian faith and Jesus’ second greatest command – to love your neighbor as yourself!
My name is Yogi. I was born in 2022 and adopted by my wonderful family, the Hochgesangs. My mom saw my potential at a young age and immediately enrolled me in the prestigious training program from Speak Dog where I earned a canine good citizen certificate. I applied for a job in the family business and was hired following graduation as the Director of Patient Services-animal.
When I’m not working with my mom I enjoy long walks, running, and anything that smells questionable. Through the years I have been a support to patients and co-workers with my sweet and calming demeanor. I love to rest my head in the laps of nervous patients and comfort anyone having a hard day. I also love when children (and other animal lovers) just want to say hello! The only real challenge I have on the job is the UPS guy, but I’m working with my supervisor to improve my communication in that area so I can be the best version of myself for you!
At Cornerstone we are focused on Core Values. My favorite is, ” Willing to Wash the Dishes”. I have a solid track record of doing everything I possibly can to clean up dishes left unattended- whether they are where I’m supposed to be or not!
If you love dogs as much as I love humans, request to see me in any of our three office locations! I would love to meet you!
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our two adult children, and our dogs, Dutch and Dice. We love traveling across the country in our camper, exploring new places and visiting national parks.
My favorite Cornerstone core value is Family First. I appreciate the way the practice encourages a healthy balance between caring for patients and cherishing time with loved ones.
My favorite core value is Family First. I can attest first-hand to their Family First core value. We’ve dealth with family medical issues along with long hospital stays and unanswered issues. Cornerstone has been super supportive and understanding when I need to be away to help advocate.
My favorite Cornerstone core value is Family First. I like this core value best because it reflects how I was raised and how I have always felt. I think some companies prefer to be the top priority, but that wouldn’t be realistic in my world.
I was born and raised in Davenport, IA, and come from a family of four. While I don’t have kids of my own yet, my two energetic Boston Terriers keep life very entertaining and busy! Growing up I played basketball and softball and I still enjoy staying active through running, weightlifting, hiking, and playing pickleball.
My interest in dentistry began when I got braces as a kid—I loved seeing the transformation in my smile and the confidence it gave me. That experience stuck with me and inspired me to help others feel the same way. As a hygienist, my goal is to make every patient feel comfortable, heard, and cared for. I strive to create a positive experience where patients not only feel confident in their smile, but also supported in their overall oral health journey.
After earning my Associate of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene in 2025, I joined the Cornerstone team because of their welcoming atmosphere and shared commitment to patient care. My favorite Cornerstone core value is Willing to “Wash the Dishes” because it represents true teamwork – one where no task is beneath anyone and everyone is ready to step in, help out, and support each other no matter what. It creates a very motivating, uplifting, and inspiring team that I am proud to be part of.
Family First is my favorite core value. Being able to put your family first is amazing and knowing that I’m able to put them as a priority and be able to partake in school functions or important life opportunities means so much to me!
Family first is my favorite Cornerstone core value. I feel like it allows me to come to work and perform at my best.
