Mindy

Mindy has been a dental hygienist since 2008, and spends most Thursdays and some Wednesdays with us here at Craig Family Dentistry. Mindy is originally from Illinois and moved to Oregon because she absolutely loves rain and just can't get enough. When Mindy isn't in the office following her life's passion of cleaning teeth or keeping stats on UFC fights, she can be found at the farmer's market making and selling her world famous pizza with her family. Mindy has a variety of hobbies including water skiing, dog photography and watching horse races, but her current fascination is combining two of her biggest areas of interest into one- crocheting and UFO investigation. Mindy crochets Area 51 themed hats, sweaters and even socks.
