HYGIENIST

A part of our incredible hygiene team, Nicole joined us in 2020 and brings over 15 years of experience as a skilled dental hygienist. She’s known for her ability to create a warm, welcoming environment that puts our patients at ease.

When she’s not making sure your smile is sparkling, Nicole and her husband Shane are busy cheering on their two kids, Drake and Hadley, at the ballpark or gym on the weekends.

HYGIENIST

A proud Hoosier and a dedicated member of our hygiene team, Melanie joined us in October 2023, bringing 15 years of experience in the dental field. Her passion for dentistry started all the way back in the third grade, and that enthusiasm shines through in the care she provides every day!

Outside the office, Melanie stays busy running and training for triathlons, getting lost in a good book, and enjoying long walks with her dog, Jack. She also has an impressive houseplant collection and loves scuba diving and traveling the world with her spouse.

ASSISTANT

A native of Huntsville, Sarah has been a Registered Dental Assistant since 2012 and has been a valued part of Perkins Dentistry for almost two years. Her dedication and experience help ensure our patients receive top-notch care every visit!

Outside the office, Sarah stays busy spending time with her two kids, Savannah and Collin, along with their two dogs and a bunny. She loves anything outdoors, traveling to new places, working out, and getting creative with crafting.

OFFICE MANAGER

Joining our team in April 2013, Gina brings an impressive 40 years of business experience, with 20 of those years dedicated to dentistry. Her passion lies in building strong relationships with patients and ensuring everyone has a wonderful experience while prioritizing their smiles.

When she’s not at the office, Gina loves spending quality time with her family and traveling with her husband and their dog, Sophie, in their RV. She is also an active member of her church, where she enjoys participating in the choir and other activities.

SNACK COLLECTOR

If you’ve ever needed a warm welcome, this is your guy! Cooper is a professional love sponge—always ready with tail wags and a happy greeting for everyone he meets. His open-door policy (for maximum accessibility to petting) allows him to greet every guest with unmatched enthusiasm.

Cooper’s additional responsibilities include snack quality assurance, advanced toy durability testing, and providing essential emotional support through strategic leaning and tail wagging. His unwavering dedication to spreading smiles makes him a cornerstone of the Perkins Dentistry experience.

SNUGGLE BUDDY

While he may appear reserved at first, those who earn Remy’s trust will find a dedicated (and slightly oversized) lap dog beneath his composed exterior. With his few years of experience as a loyal companion, Remy has proven a vital part of the team as a snuggle buddy and is always willing to unscrew any water bottle caps you may need opened.

When not overseeing Dr. Perkins’ after-work recovery, Remy can be found instigating shenanigans (carried out by his brother, Cooper), jumping around in the backyard, or lazing on the couch. His commitment to excellence and craftiness makes him an invaluable member of the Perkins Dentistry family.
