Sarah Tan

Registered Dental Hygienist

Sarah has been in the dental industry for 37 years, in which 10+ years have been with Dr. Greg Skeens. Her passion for dentistry goes beyond the clinical aspect and is more about helping patients achieve better overall health by focusing on their oral health. The social connection that she experiences with the patients is invaluable. For Sarah, it’s a wonderful perk of the job that she can learn about the patient as well as from them. When she’s away from the office, she enjoys the practice of yoga. Her favorite place to be is with her husband Rodelle and their dog Midas. And hanging out with friends and family when she has time! Cool facts – favorite color is the rainbow, but if she must narrow it down..it’s turquoise blue. The mantra she lives by, “Your health is your wealth.”
