Elizabeth Dowd, RDH
Hygienist
North Carolina has always been my home. I am married and have an identical twin sister. I have been a dental hygienist since 1992 and have been with this practice since then. One of my favorite pastimes is playing golf and tennis with my husband. I am also a lover of animals, especially my two dogs Annie and Bea. I love all of our patients and still love my job now as much as the day I started.

I am happily married with 2 teenage sons and enjoy spending time with my family and my two English Setters and 2 cats. I also enjoy fishing, horseback riding, hiking, photography and driving my Mini Cooper.
Jennifer Roughgarden
Office Manager
I have over 30 years of dental management experience and truly love what I do. I am a Michigan native, but have always called North Carolina home. I am married to my high school sweetheart and have two amazing kids. As new “empty-nesters”, we now have a house divided…UNC vs. Michigan! I love to travel, spend time with my family and friends, and truly appreciate the little things in life!
