Dr. Blake believes in constantly striving for dental excellence, continually investing his time and resources in advanced dental courses. He has attended classes with the California Implant Institute, the Pikos Institute, where he earned his fellowship in dental implantology, the Center for Advanced Dental Training, PAC Live (cosmetic smile designs), Cosmedent’s Chicago Cosmetic Bonding Course, the Center for Restorative Excellence, and the Hornbrook Group.

A Lake Orion resident himself, Dr. Blake is a supporter of many local sports teams and fundraisers. He believes in giving back to the community and is a generous sponsor of many events. In his free time, he enjoys golfing and playing hockey. He also loves spending time with his family.

Tracy graduated from the Mott Community College Dental Hygiene Program in 2001. She is passionate about helping patients achieve optimal dental health. She seeks out continuing education courses regularly and enjoys sharing that knowledge with colleagues and patients. Outside the office, Tracy loves spending time with her family and cheering on the Detroit Tigers. Although she’s a busy mom of three young children, she still finds time for physical fitness and has completed five half marathons!

Megan has been making smiles brighter for over 20 years, both as a dental assistant and a dental hygienist. Her favorite thing about being a dental hygienist is making people comfortable in the dental chair while easing any fears. Megan and her husband have two young boys that keep them busy. In addition, Megan also enjoys singing in her church choir, camping and traveling with her family.

Sue joined our practice in 2001 with extensive knowledge of the dental industry. During her career, she has taken many continuing education courses and is very efficient in applying this knowledge to everyday challenges. Her vast computer and insurance experience helps keep the office operating smoothly.

Sue and her husband have three grown children and reside in Ortonville on their family farm. She enjoys being outdoors, volunteering with 4H, and spending time with her family and animals.

Barb was welcomed to our team in November 2015. She graduated from Western Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science degree. Barb was drawn to the dental field because she enjoys the interaction with patients while helping them obtain their necessary treatment. Originally from Troy, she has lived in Lake Orion since 1998. Barb is thrilled to be working in the same community in which she resides. She and her husband are raising three beautiful daughters. She enjoys camping, concerts, kayaking and spending time with family.

Melissa joined our team in 2023, with over 15 years experience in the dental field. She enjoys reading, crafting, traveling and camping with her family, including her dog Millie. Her love for people and witty humor keep both our patients and team laughing.

Miranda started her dental career in 2001. Her many years of dental assisting experience contribute to her vast knowledge. Miranda’s compassion and caring nature are comforting to patients of all ages. Originally immigrating to the U.S. from Macedonia in 1980, Miranda and her husband earned their citizenship and have two children. She enjoys spending time with her extended family abroad each year.

Cheryl joined our team in 2018 with 30 years of experience as a dental assistant. Along with vast dental knowledge, Cheryl brings her positive energy and love of dentistry to our office. Cheryl’s warm and caring nature is very reassuring to patients of all ages. She and her husband have two children and a feisty little Yorkie named Rascal. In her free time, Cheryl enjoys reading, live entertainment and spending time with her family and friends.

Robin was a member of our team from 2008 to 2015. She was an extraordinary person and always had a smile and a kind word to share with everyone that crossed her path. She was the type of person that would help anyone without being asked and was an essential part of our office.

Robin lost her brief battle with lung cancer on October 1, 2015. We hope to use her passing to warn others of the dangers of radon gas. Most people do not know that radon gas is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. This silent killer took Robin’s life; it took a mother from her daughter, a loving wife from her husband of 40 years and a friend from all of us.
