"I am a Registered Dental Hygienist. I am married to Dr. Hodson and have been working with him for 28 Years. We have 4 adult children, and 5 grandchildren. I enjoy walking my beautiful Labrador Retriever "Syrah" on long walks with my husband. I am learning to play the piano and someday hope to play for Nordstroms at Christmas time. OK maybe just for my family..
On our days off together Don and I love to cook and have dinner party's. We also enjoy exploring our National Parks, Wine Tasting together and sometimes I like just "Being Still" with a good book.
My patients have become dear to me and through the years many are friends. I only wish there were more time for our visits together. My Philosophy is to remind my patients to take the time to take care of themselves, and that with good health comes good living."
