I was born and raised in New Brighton, PA, a suburb of Pittsburgh. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Dental Hygiene. I have practiced Dental Hygiene in various offices in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Tennessee for 25+ years. I have been in the Knoxville area since 1994.

I have been married for over 20 years to a very loving and patient man, George. We have 3 children and 2 boxers. Our oldest daughter attends UT and our son and younger daughter attend Farragut High School.

I spend most of my free time watching our son play lacrosse and our daughter play softball. I love to go to craft stores and shows and decorate my house with my country collectables.

Since moving to Knoxville, I have become a UT and Lady Vols fan, although my heart will always belong to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Hi, I'm Pam. I am the newest employee in Dr. Barnes' Office. I work 2 days a week as a Dental Hygienist. The staff and patients have welcomed me and made me feel very much at home. I received my degree at East Tennessee State University and have practiced for 30 years. My husband, Monty, is a banker. We have 2 adult children in their 20's; Lloyd and Carrie. Hiking in the mountains is my most enjoyable past time. I also like to run for exercise. I am a puppeteer at my Church and love teaching children.

I'm Jeanie, the one who greets you when you come in! I am "Atomic City" born and raised. My married life was spent in New York and New Jersey where my son, Riley, was born and grew up.

Returning to Big Orange Country in 1991, I started working at this dental office in 1992. Our office is a happy place. I've been labeled President of the Front Office and Office Ambassador.

I'm a shopper, an antiquer with collections, and a crossword puzzler. I enjoy the theatre, counted cross stitch, and flowers. I am a UT football fan and a Kentucky basketball watcher.

I'm a new home owner with decorating on my mind. I'm glad to be back in East Tennessee, close to my family and my roots.
