Hygienists

Debbie

Debbie gets compliments from patients about how gentle and kind she is. Our staff has a fun time laughing with Debbie because she has a great sense of humor.

I have been a hygienist for Dr. Cranford since graduating from York Technical College in 1993. A graduate of Rock Hill High School, I am a loyal Bearcat fan. The technology at our office is top notch, which has helped me increase my skills. For example, I enjoy working with the intra-oral camera and showing patients exactly what their teeth look like. I am in charge of OSHA regulations at Cranford Dental. on weekends, I love spending time with my son and daughter and volunteering in my church in Rock Hill.

Betsy

Betsy’s warm personality makes everyone feel at ease at Cranford Dental. She has a gentle touch that makes getting cleanings a very pleasant experience.

I grew up in Tennessee and moved to Chester in 2005. Since I am a Certified Pharmacy Technician, one of my duties at Cranford Dental is to keep us up-to-date on first aid and emergency medications. My children and my husband are the most important thing in the world to me. For fun, I love cooking, running, watching UGA football, and of course, spending time with my family.

Nan Katherine

Nan Katherine is a true team player, always looking for ways to help out around the office. She is very kind to the patients and, like our other hygienists, is gentle and thorough with cleanings.

I have lived in Rock Hill my whole life. After graduating from Northwestern High School, I went to dental assisting school at York Technical College. My favorite part of working at Cranford Dental is spending time with our friendly patients and staff. I plan to follow the office tradition and work here for many years. In my free time I like to spend time with my husband, Chris, and our son Gates and daughter Livvy. We love spending time in our yard with family and friends.

Hannah

Hannah is dedicated to her profession and to her patients. She is hard working, engaging, compassionate, and a very good hygienist. What a great member of our team!

Clover, South Carolina is my hometown. I joined Cranford Dental after graduating from the dental hygiene program at York Tech. This office is a perfect match for me as it shares my values and love of people. My husband works for the York County Sheriff’s office. Our son Cruz brings us much joy and keeps us busy. We enjoy being outdoors, playing sports, and hunting. In my free time I love to run long distances and to play with our puppy Finn.

Patient Coordinators

Kathy

Kathy does a great job making sure that all of our patients feel welcome and cared for at Cranford Dental. She works hard to make sure you have a great experience before, during, and after your appointment.

I love being the first face you see when you walk in the door at Cranford Dental. I always try to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for our patients, and appreciate that everyone else at Cranford Dental adds to this effort. Though I grew up in California, I now call Rock Hill home as I raised my two sons here. For fun, I enjoy walking, reading, singing, and spending time with my husband.

Lisa

Lisa is the ‘sunshine pumper’ of the office. Her laugh is contagious and she knows how to brighten anyone’s day. Lisa is a huge help all around the office.

I started at Cranford Dental in 1989. We moved to our current office on the same day that I started work. It has been fun to watch the office change and modernize over the past 40 years. My experience working as an assistant in my early years has been invaluable to me as a patient coordinator. For instance, I am able to talk to patients about their dental care plan and answer their questions. I enjoy spending time with my husband, Rob, and our three children and two grandchildren. And I love reading and making pottery in my spare time.

Hunter

Hunter’s caring personality and willingness to learn are amazing. How great to find a young person who will happily do anything and everything to help the staff and patients in our office.

I joined Cranford Dental in August, 2021 as a part time front office assistant. I love dentistry and getting to know our staff and patients in Rock Hill. Now full time and the office “jack of all trades,” I work in the front office and sometimes help with assisting in the operatories and with the many daily tasks that make the office run smoothly. Working here has given me invaluable experience in the dental profession. After graduating from York High School, I studied at York Tech to prepare for dental hygiene school. In my free time I love hanging out with my miniature schnauzer, Heidi, and my boyfriend, Scott. We enjoy travel and camping around South Carolina.

Dental Assistants

Crystal

Crystal has a very kind and bubbly personality. She is very skilled in all areas of dentistry, and recently we have been amazed at how well she works with our child patients.

My husband and I grew up in Rock Hill together and attended Rock Hill High School. A dental assistant for seven years, I joined Cranford Dental in August, 2013. I work with the dentists and staff to provide comprehensive dentistry, knowing that we give each patient the best option. When a patient is happy with a beautiful new smile, I am as happy as she is. Shopping, cooking, and outdoor activities with my husband and two sons also bring me great joy.

Linzie

Linzie works very hard and is a quick learner. She is compassionate, kind, and beautiful “inside and out.” And her sense of humor matches her engaging smile. Thanks for joining us, Linzie!

I grew up in Clover in a close and fun family. Working at Cranford Dental has helped me grow in my dental skills. I am amazed at the expertise in this office and the wide range of services offered. Truly, working here has improved my dental skills and my ability to explain complex treatment to patients. During free time, I love singing, baking, running, watching football, and spending time with my fiancée.

Carley

Patients love Carley’s calm, reassuring demeanor. She enjoys helping with complex cosmetic dental cases. In fact, she smiles bigger than the happy patient at the end of treatment. We love having you at our office, Carley.

I am originally from West Virginia. But I love living here in South Carolina and working in Rock Hill. Also, I feel very blessed to be part of the Cranford Dental team. This office has been a great place to develop my skills and meet nice people who care about good dental health. I especially like working with our new SprintRay 3D printer. In fact, I am now the office expert on 3D printing. Most important in my life are my adorable son, Brycen, and his proud dad Hilton. We have a good time together during free time.

April

We were excited when April joined our staff at Cranford Dental. Our patients love her caring spirit and engaging personality. And our dentists appreciate the skills and knowledge from many years of dental assisting. Thank you, April, for all you bring to our office.

After working as a dental assistant for 22 years, I still enjoy coming to work every day. I love making people smile! Dentistry has changed so much since I started, and I am glad that I could stay up with the advances in dental care. The technology we use here is amazing and so helpful to our patients. On weekends I like to spend time at my home in York with my husband and sons Pearson and Ian. My hobbies are drawing and cooking and doing projects that make others happy.
