Dental Team – Altavista, VA

Ashley,
Office Manager

With about two decades of experience in the world of dental care and counting, Ashley remains just as passionate about helping patients reach their smile goals as the day she started. She began her career as a dental assistant/front office/insurance coordinator in 2005, receiving her X-ray certification as well as attending continuing education courses. Two years later, she started working for Dr. Guy Walton in her previous titles in addition to billing coordinator. A decade later, the practice became what it is today, and she’s been one of our greatest assets in making our dental office a warm and pleasant place for patients to get the care they deserve.

Originally from Hurt, VA, Ashley is happily married to her high school sweetheart, and together they have three wonderful boys, two cats, and a dog.
