I am a native Tennessean. I graduated from Chattanooga State’s Dental Hygiene program in 1989 and was awarded the Procter & Gamble Dental Hygienists Professional Award in Preventative Oral Health Care. I joined Dr. Rodriguez’s practice in 1996. I am thankful to practice with a diverse group of co-workers that I consider my second family. I enjoy educating patients on how to improve and/or maintain a healthy smile. I enjoy continuing education in the field of dental hygiene to bring out patients the individualized care they need to confidently share their smile. I truly believe you can make someone’s day with a smile. It is a joy to help people realize their smiles importance. We have a great team in our practice to assist you in making the smile you want to achieve a reality.

Ollie Therapy Dog_edited_edited_edited.p

Hi Guy’s! 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. I sleep all day in mom’s office, sometimes I go out to greet patients and get belly rubs. 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!
