Lisa

Lead Dental Hygienist

A lifelong Virginia Beach native and Cox High School graduate, Lisa holds Bachelor of Science degrees in both Business Finance and Dental Hygiene from Old Dominion University. After 15 successful years in residential real estate—helping families find their perfect homes—she followed her curiosity into dental hygiene in 2011, joining Starfish Dental Care in 2020

Lisa loves continuing education and stays at the forefront of hygiene technology. She is a graduate of advanced Dental Hygiene courses at the prestigious L.D. Pankey Institute, where she trained on the innovative EMS Airflow Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) system—and proudly introduced this gentle, effective technology to our practice. Maintaining the highest standards of patient care and professional ethics is at the core of everything she does.

Her warm, relationship-focused approach makes her a perfect fit for our no-lecture, patient-first philosophy—helping patients achieve optimal oral health with comfort and confidence.

Recently, Lisa became a proud grandmother to little Archer—adding even more joy to her life! She's married to David, and together they have three children: Abigail, Zachary, and daughter-in-law Meghan. Their home is kept lively by two energetic Cairn Terriers, Finley and Oliver.

Lisa gives back through community service —building many lasting friendships along the way. In her free time, she loves traveling, reading, hiking, biking, and peaceful sunrise walks on the beach.
