Lilly is a registered dental assistant, and has worked with Dr. Thurmond since her original practice in New Mexico. She has been assisting for over 20 years, and prides herself on her excellent chairside manner - she is a source of comfort to all our patients!
Lilly is very active in her local church, and she speaks fluent Spanish. She just returned from her second international missions trip, where she provided translation services.
When not at work, she is most likely with her granddaughters or family.
Growing up in Alabama, Abby began her dental assisting career in a family oriented dental practice in 2015. She then spent some time in California before relocating to Raleigh. She is bilingual and helps the office with translation for our Spanish speaking patients. She continues to add dental assisting skills to her resume. She loves helping you with your dental needs to keep your smile confident. She has a gentle touch and is able to put patients at ease. When not at work, she likes taking random road trips to the mountains or beach and exploring the city of Raleigh! She also enjoys spending time with her boyfriend, family and dog.
Donna has over 25 years in the dental field, and is one of the first friendly faces you will meet at Dr. Thurmond's office. She moved to North Carolina six years ago with her husband, Bob, and is the proud mother of two grown sons.
In her free time, Donna is probably cooking, baking, or collecting new recipes to try.
Donna looks forward to welcoming you and ensuring your experience is excellent!
Originally hailing from Oregon, Annie has been in dentistry for 15 years. She has extensive experience working with all different types of dental insurance, and loves being able to "close the gap" between what a patient needs and how Dr. Thurmond can make it happen. Her favorite part of dentistry is working with people - getting to know them and their families, and helping them be healthier in the process.
When not at work, Annie is usually found somewhere outside - hiking, swimming, cycling or hanging in a hammock while her husband Justin fishes. Most of the time her three Golden Retrievers, Claire, Mia, and Lizzie are along for the fun! While she misses snowboarding in the Oregon Cascades, she loves the consistently sunny weather and the beaches in North Carolina.
