Sharon
Office Coordinator
I've been a dental assistant for over 30 years. For the last 20 years, I've had the privilege of working with Dr. Hickle. I couldn't have chosen a more rewarding field to be a part of.
When I'm not working as a dental assistant, I spend my time enjoying my family and our dog "Shorty". I also dedicate time to my passion for designing and creating vintage-inspired jewelry for my online store.
Maureen
Hygienist
Maureen brings us nearly 40 years of experience as a hygienist and many other skills in the dental field. Outside the dental office, she has served as an exam proxy for clinical dental staff monitoring and administering Nitrous Oxide sedation. She has also volunteered her dental experience in many ways, including as an advisory member to Polaris Vocational School Dental Assistant programs. Perhaps her most rewarding volunteer experience would be the many annual visits to her local elementary schools, grades K-5 for Children's Dental Health Month, the thank you notes from the kids are the best part and Doreen has saved them all!
Maureen has been married to her husband, Fred, for over 40 years, raising three children in their native Geauga County. She has been active in the community with AFS hosting and a liaison to foreign exchange students, youth sports, and St. Mary's Parish leadership ministries. While their six grandchildren happily consume most of her free time, Maureen also enjoys hiking, kayaking, and getting together with friends.

In her free time, she and her husband, Joe, love spending time with her growing family. Sherri has two happily married sons and a daughter who remains with her long-time beau.
