The Who: Our Dentists
The Who: Our Staff
Connie Hawley OFFICE MANAGER Connie began working for us while attending Garner Senior High School and has been a valuable asset, contributing vastly to the growth and development of our office. She is known not only for her ability to handle the unexpected and answer everybody's questions, but also, the klick-clack of her well-heeled power walk. She is easily considered the backbone of both our office and her family. Deborah Hitchings Office Assistant As the first face you see upon entering the office, Deborah's bright spirit will provide the ray of sunshine you weren't aware you needed. Her positive attitude is a prime illustration of her compassion and Christian faith. Deborah especially enjoys showering this compassion on her sweet niece and nephews and enjoying time with her husband, friends and family. |
Rosa Gregory DeNTAL Assistant As Dr. Arthurs right-hand-woman and head Assistant, Rosa can be counted on to be efficient, direct and to the point. A fearless leader in the war on germs, She ensures our office is kept pristine and stocked with PPE (Personal Protective Equipment.) When Rosa isn't freshening up the office with a can of lysol, she is at home, pool side, instructing her husband in appropriate skimming technique. Cami Rodriguez DENTAL ASSISTANT Cami started working at our dental practice as a Dental Assistant in 2020. The diligence and positive attitude with which she works every day demonstrates her passion for the dental profession. As a true Colombian, Cami delights in having a good cup of coffee and spending quality time with her friends and family. She is an active participant in her local church and community. |
Paula Stein Office Assitant As half of our fantastic front desk duo, Paula is incredibly friendly and always quick with an anecdote. Having trouble finding your way back up to the front? Follow your nose! Her desk is frequently adorned with a bouquet of fresh flowers. A Garner native, Paula has been a Medical Office Assistant for many years. She enjoys spending her free-time visiting her beach house and being around family. Joanna Miranda DENTAL assistant Joanna is a recent graduate of WTCC's Dental Assisting Program. She came through our office for a rotation before graduation and we just knew that we had to keep her! Her calming and sweet personality is just what you would want chairside at the dentist! When she is not here she loves to fill her days with traveling, shopping, spending time with family and her lifelong fur buddy- Snoopy! |
Evelyn Sutton-Smith Dental Hygienist Originally a Substitute Hygienist for us, Evelyn made herself essential using her quick wit, infectious giggle and superb scaling skills. As an avid cruiser, she carried her passion for exploring into her professional life by also becoming a travel agent. So not only can you leave our office with a squeaky clean mouth, but fun vacation plans. Evelyn's family is of the utmost importance to her, which she displays through her hard work and drive. Randi Greer DENTAL HYGIENIST Our hygienist, Randi, always brings a refreshing perkiness with her when she is working- typically one of the first to arrive each morning. Considered our in-house spin brush specialist, she is either a firm believer of the power of the electronic tooth brushes or a stock holder at Oral B. Randi carries her same infectious energy home with her as a family woman and a mom of two young boys. |
Kayla Byrd DENTAL ASSISTANT As a recent addition to our team- Kayla has made herself vital in such a short time! She brings a ray of sunshine to our office everyday with her laugh and positive attitude. Kayla comes all the way from Turkey, NC to assist Dr. Hays each day (talk about a long commute!!). On the weekends Kayla loves doing crafts and spending time with her loved ones- She is also recently engaged (YAYY!) and in the thick of wedding planning! |
Jessica Hays DENTAL HYGIENIST Our office got the best 2-for-1 deal ever when we hired Dr. Hays back in 2022! He came with his equally skilled, kind and talented wife Jessica! She is an amazing hygienist that is loved by our staff and patients alike. When she is not here brightening the office with her sunshiny personality she enjoys helping her husband in the garden and spending time with their 4 awesome kids! |
Rachael Ryals DeNTAL HYGIENIST Rachael and her family are new to North Carolina, but she is far from new to dental hygiene- She has been practicing for 30 years and has made an amazing addition to our office staff. Patients love her warm disposition and eye for detail. When she is not here you can find her sitting on the sidelines cheering on her boys in multiple sporting events or at church where her husband is the worship pastor! Next time you are here make sure to say hello! |
The What: Our History
After graduating from the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry, Dr. W. Lewis Woodard, Jr. moved with his wife and family to Garner and founded his namesake office. Dr. Woodard was a very community oriented man who was actively involved in the local Rotary Club and was a member of Garner United Methodist Church. It was his involvement with Garner as well as his sense of humor and friendly demeanor that created a solid foundation for the success of his dental practice.
Originally located at the Executive Center on Highway 70, the office moved locations in 1974 to a quaint brick building on Aversboro Road. In April 1988, Dr. Arthur relocated from his practice in North Raleigh and joined Dr. Woodard, eventually purchasing the practice prior to Dr. Woodards retirement in 1992; ultimately renaming it, Kevin Arthur, DDS. Business continued to thrive and in June of 2000, the practice was expanded and relocated to its current facility on Timber Dr.
Now more commonly known as Arthur Family Dentistry, the practice continues to be a staple of the Town of Garner. Serving not only legacy patients that might be able tell you a story or two about Dr. Woodard, but also welcoming new patients every day.
