Dr. Hugs chose to become a dental specialist because of her experience at her childhood dentist and orthodontist. “Something just captivated me! Seeing the difference that braces made in my smile, and all of the different techniques used to create that smile, intrigued me. Then I had the opportunity to work with high-risk pediatric patients including special needs patients and I fell in love!”
Dr. Hugs has been happily married for 20 years to her husband, Jim, and they have three kids and two dogs. When she isn’t saving smiles, she enjoys traveling and exploring new places and cultures with her family, going for outdoor runs and hikes, and reading.
