Meet Your New Lumberton Dental Team

Sommer graduated from Lamar State College Orange with a degree in Dental Assisting in 2003. She worked as a dental assistant with Dr. Nelams for 12 years. She rejoined the team in 2020 as the Doctor’s Coordinator. Her favorite thing about her job is making sure patients feel welcomed and comfortable while they are in the office.

In her spare time, she enjoys taking trips with her family in their camper and going to the lake or beach.

I graduated as a dental hygienist from Lamar University in 1994 with great expectations of making a difference. Everyday I strive to work alongside my patients to help them achieve a healthy and confident smile, together we make a difference. I have been a part of the Family Dental Care team since 2006 and have developed wonderful relationships with my patients. By attending classes and seminars I stay informed and educated about the latest dental treatments and products to ensure the best care for my patients.

I love the outdoors! Most weekends you can find me in my backyard either gardening or swimming with my dog “Zoey'. My husband and I enjoy traveling in our camper, our favorite destination is Branson, Missouri. I stay healthy and fit with my own home cooking and yoga. As a member of Praise church, I have dedicated my life to God.
