Lisa
New Patient Coordinator / Business Receptionist
Hi, I am Lisa the New patient coordinator/Business receptionist. I have over 25 years' experience in the dental field. I previously worked in a multi-specialty dental practice in Upstate New York where I was a Dental Assistant and PR Coordinator. During this time I developed a passion for all aspects of the dental field and patient care. I relocated to Texas in 2022 and joined Woodlands Lakes Dental Studio, the practice of Dr. Gabriel Polo. I am excited about joining the team and changing roles now working in the front office of the practice. At home I enjoy spending time with my husband Tom and two Shih Tzu either by the pool or watching movies.

Ashley
Registered Dental Hygienist
Hi, my name is Ashley, a Dental Hygienist at Woodland Lakes Dental Studio. I received my Bachelor of
Science Degree from Northwestern State University in 2012. In 2015 I started my career in the dental field as a dental assistant. I then furthered my education and received my Dental Hygiene Degree in 2017. As a hygienist, it is my goal to help patients feel comfortable and to educate them on how to have the best oral health. My favorite part about being a hygienist is creating relationships with my patients so they feel relaxed and in good hands. I am originally a Louisiana girl but have lived in Texas since 2012 and wouldn't turn back! In my free time I love going to the gym and spending time with my husband and our miniature dachshund. We enjoy going camping and spending time with friends listening to live music.

Minnie
Lead Dental Assistant
Hi, my name is Minnie, and I am the lead Assistant for Dr. Polo. I have been a dental assistant since 1992. I have been a part of Dr. Polo's ream for 16+ years. My favorite part of dentistry is being able to work with my patients and putting them at ease in high anxiety situations. I enjoy working with Dr. Polo because of his integrity and the dental knowledge he brings with his patients. He truly is passionate about dentistry. In my free time I enjoy working out, running, and a warm sunny day on the beach with my three children.
