“My goal has always been to provide compassionate, ethical oral healthcare that contributes to the overall health and happiness of my patients. I am proud of my mother and father for the love and guidance they have always provided! I am proud to have followed the footsteps of my father, whom I will always consider a better dentist, father, and man than I could ever hope to be!”

For Lori, spending more than 15 years in the dental field is so much more than a job. It’s a way of life! She finds the most enjoyment in getting to know her patients. It is her goal to make each patient feel comfortable and at ease from the moment they walk through the door. She loves being a part of a small and busy practice that’s like being a part of another family!

Lori has two great children, one son and one daughter, and one grandchild with another on the way! In her free time, her greatest hobby is spending time with her family.

Sandee has been with the practice for over 27 years. Though she initially completed a bachelor’s degree in business and fashion from University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in 1985 and worked in retail, she earned her degree in dental hygiene in 1999 and never looked back. Her favorite part of maintaining the business aspect of the practice is the relationships she has built with the patients over her tenure here. Sandee allows Dr. Dan to focus on the clinical aspect of the practice because of her mastery of the business aspect.

Sandee has three awesome kids with Dr. McKinnon. Running helps her to stay centered. She has run well over 100 marathons. She has run a marathon in every state and on all eight continents (New Zealand being number eight) and all Abbot World major marathons. She has also won an award from USA Track and Field.
