To relax, Donna enjoys spending time with her husband, cheering her daughter on in volleyball, interior decorating and ‘lovin’ up’ on her horses and dogs.
“I love making our patients feel that they’ve come to a friend’s home to visit! We go out of our way to make our guests feel comfortable and welcome. We may be the only friendly faces that they come in contact with all day long! The biggest compliment they can pay us is to tell us that they love coming in to see us!”

Suzanne Dental Hygienist |
Originally from just outside Pittsburgh, PA., Suzanne relocated to Phoenix in 1987. After graduating with a degree in Dental Hygiene in 1985, Suzanne has continued honing her skills with anesthesia certification and Las Vegas Institute Neuromuscular courses. When not providing excellent hygiene care for patients, Suzanne enjoys traveling (especially to Hawaii), boating, hiking and working out at the gym.
“I’ve always enjoyed meeting and helping people, which is one of the many reasons I love my profession. I find it very gratifying to help create a new smile for someone or to relieve their discomfort. I love working with Dr. Alverson because he is not only a highly skilled professional, but also quite an artist (and a nice guy, too!)”
