🎉Please join us in celebrating Laurie, who is retiring! Laurie’s dedication, humor, and expertise have touched the lives of countless colleagues and patients alike.
Laurie's career began in general dentistry with Dr. Glenn Lilleskov in 1980, where she interned and then worked as a licensed dental assistant for 20 years. On April 17, 2000, she joined the Dental Specialties family, primarily working in Prosthodontics with Dr. Ned Van Roekel and later Dr. Alan Carr for 15 years.
After 39 years in dental assisting, Laurie’s interest in dental lab work led her to join the Dental Lab team. Her patient care experience, prosthodontic knowledge, and even her wood carving skills made her a perfect fit. Laurie credits her success to Joe, Rob, and Gayle, who mentored her and taught her so much along the way.
“It’s been an honor and privilege to work at Mayo learning and treating patients... putting their needs before anyone else… and working with the great group I have had the opportunity to get to know.”
Laurie, your journey is inspiring, and your impact is lasting. We wish you all the best in this exciting new chapter. Enjoy every moment of your well-earned retirement! 💐
