We were in the Dental part of it. First time mom to having my little one have any kind surgery and the staff were kind and the Oral surgeon was amazing and the coolest. The anesthesiologist was amazing too and even carried my daughter to the room!!
Robyn was born in Canada and took a meandering journey, which included hiking through the forests of Ecuador, on her way to Utah. She is a recent transplant to the state, having come to be close to relatives and she loves the family-centered culture in the state and the wide variety of things to do, especially with her kids. She’s looking forward to hitting Utah’s mountain trails, enjoying the state’s natural landscapes, and soaking up the sunshine while it lasts.
Her quiet and soft spoken exterior hides an adventurous spirit. Outside of the office you’re likely to find her at the kickboxing gym, baking, or at a park with her kids. It’s rare she goes a whole day without sustaining some minor injury due to natural clumsiness, but that might be why she so easily identifies with kids. They’re ready to take on the world, even if they’re not totally prepared.
Robyn was born prematurely herself and struggled with asthma as a kid. She is in awe of the hope and resilience kids and young adults exhibit, and their ability to soak up skills and knowledge. She spent a lot of time in doctor’s offices as a kid and knows the large and lasting impact parents and caregivers can leave during this period of a kid’s life. She’s determined to make her impact a good one.
