the big city of Woodstock from the small town of Monticello, Georgia

She is a graduate of West Central Technical College in Douglasville, Georgia,
where she was born and raised.

so since she is 6 feet tall! She has developed a very gentle touch all
her patients appreciate and couples that with a very personal focus on

Gypsy Shorb, Dental Assistant
 Gypsy,
is that her real name? Yes it is. It is representative of her wonderful
personality and the great connection she always has with her patients.
Gypsy joined the staff of Fountain View Family Dentistry in September
2003, and feels so comfortable working along side Dr. Harden, that it
would seem she has worked for there for decades.
She has been in dentistry for fourteen years, and maintains a strong
dedication to her profession based upon the fact she simply loves it.
Gypsy took a specialized exam to become a nationally Certified Dental
Assistant since joining our team. Congratulations.
She and her family moved to Georgia in December 2002, but she calls
Texas “HOME”. Gypsy is convinced that her very talented children
will provide her with a very comfortable retirement. Allyson is such
a drama queen that she will be sure to make it on the big screen, and
Evan is a natural at any sport; the scouts most likely have their sights
on him already.
Gypsy demonstrates a high level of compassion for our patients and offers
such comforts as a blanket, nitrous oxide, or warmed towels at the end
of treatment. She can multi-task wonderfully, and combines this trait
with her natural leadership to optimize patient satisfaction, time management,
and superior dental care for our patients.
Wayne Noble, Dental Assistant
 To
identify with the great admiration everyone has for this man, you have
to appreciate a line out of Shakespeare – “what’s in
a name?” An evaluation of Wayne and Noble gives us the true meaning
of his wonderful character. Wayne is an American Indian, whose name carries
the meaning “hard worker”, which could not be more appropriate.
Wayne is revered by every member of our team as the most dedicated, hard-working
person they have ever met. He never ceases to amaze the team on the devotion
he displays for his patients, the practice, his co-workers and Dr. Harden.
Noble or “Sir Noble” as he is often referred by Dr. Harden,
gives some insight as to his generous and virtuous disposition.
Wayne had an illustrious career in the United States Air Force, where
he was given a Presidential assignment and worked at the White House,
which included extensive travel. During his time in the military, Wayne
developed a skilled electrical background, which has proven priceless
for many quality improvements in our practice.
Wayne’s endless supply of energy and commitment to excellence
is seen daily when he arrives and 6:30 am to ensure every detail is in
place before seeing our first 8:00 am patients. His thorough daily review
of our inventory, borrowed from his military training, assures our practice
never runs low on any items we need.
Wayne has achieved his Certified Dental Assistant degree since joining our
team. Congratulations. Wayne has become a highly technically trained assistant
by Dr. Harden, performing digital x-rays, assisting is root canal therapy utilizing
the very latest technology, and performing comprehensive restorative dentistry
that often incorporates the use of implants. He commits himself to attend all
implant seminars with Dr. Harden. Wayne has even revolutionized a concept with
the manufacturer of a new device that delivers anesthesia utilizing a computer.
When the office is closed Wayne can still be found at Fountain View
making sure all the fountains stay running, as well as all the other
repairs needed to keep our practice in pristine condition. Wayne finds
enjoyment in all aspects of his career at Fountain View Family Dentistry.

Harden’s schedule moving along as smoothly as possible. She works
hard to provide the extra gentle touch to make your experience in our
office as comfortable as possible.
Christy is not only a devoted dental
assistant, but she works tirelessly in the lab to ensure we meet
or exceed all Osha requirments. As the Audio
Visual Technician, Christy utilizes the latest technology in dentistry
with intra-oral cameras, digital cameras and digital recorders for
instant dictation. Using these tools allows Christy to produce an informative
DVD for our patients to take home that outlines their treatment and
educates
them on how to achieve their desired results. In her free time, Christy
likes to play guitar and loves disk golf and spending time with her
boyfriend Jared. |
