These days, you’ll find me hitting the trails with my dog, gardening, or enjoying a good movie. I’m passionate about what I do and about caring for every patient with the same level of attention and dedication.

I am certified in radiology, coronal polish and more. In my free time I enjoy being on the lake, spending time with friends and family but the best part is being able to travel and make memories.My name is Sherinda Hampton.

Hi Guys! My name is Ollie and I have been the therapy dog of the office since 2024, I am a low energy dog. I was gifted to Dr.Rodriguez by a friendly family whom my mom has known for years. I am currently attending Elite Training and have a part time job in the office two days a week. My morning duty is to go to the bank and receive treats. By the end of the day I end up exhausted and need a pup cup from Starbucks. I am very spoiled by everyone except squirrels, I hate those things!
