Tori - Surgical Assistant

"I have worked with Dr. Wood since March 2006. I was born and raised in Jacksonville. I love the beach , being outside in the sun, and spending time with my family. I chose to go to school for dental assisting after graduation from high school because I have always noticed people's teeth and think they are such an important feature."
