Our Staff
Cortney - Administrative Director
Cortney joined Dr. Mike’s in December 2024 and quickly became an essential part of the team. As Administrative Director, she values the rewarding nature of seeing the positive impact dentistry can have on patients—whether it’s helping someone move past pain, regain comfort, or feel more confident about their smile. For Cortney, one of the best parts of working at Dr. Mike’s is the people: both the patients she meets each day and the close-knit team she works alongside.
Outside the office, Cortney enjoys her most important role as a full-time mom. She and her family love spending time on local walking trails and searching for sea glass along the beaches. Cortney also has a beloved cat, which makes family life even more full and lively.

She is proud to be Dr. Mike’s “right hand” and takes great pride in her role as a Dental Assistant.
