Meet Our Team

Angela, Patient Concierge

Angela moved from Arkansas to Knoxville to earn her Associates degree from Crown College in Powell, TN. According to Angela, the best part of her job is that she gets to build relationships with the patients. She joined the My Family Dentist Team in August of 2009 – and she wouldn’t want to be a part of anything less! The spirit of excellence at the office drew Angela to My Family Dentistry, along with the staff’s dedication to improving their knowledge and providing the greatest care possible.

Angela and her husband have three teenagers who keep them busy with school events and sports – she particularly loves watching them play basketball. She loves traveling, reading, and spending her time enjoying warm, sunny weather!

Brittany, Patient Concierge

Brittany moved to Tennessee from Helena, OH in 2003 to attend Crown College and joined the My Family Dentistry Team in July 2014. Her favorite part of working in the office is seeing patients leave with a smile on their face. The care and positivity that the staff puts into their patients makes My Family Dentistry a great place to work – and be a patient!

Brittany now lives in Knoxville with her husband and their two children, and she spends her free time running and playing the piano.

Megan, Registered Dental Assistant

Megan is a dental assistant at My Family Dentistry and has been working as our Invisalign Champion since early 2018. She moved to Knoxville in 2013 from Sarasota, FL and joined the My Family Dentistry Team in September 2016. For Megan, the great team of people who are passionate about helping patients make My Family Dentistry a great place to work.

As a dental professional who has seen many cases come through our office, Megan knows that “as a tooth straightening solution,  Invisalign is an excellent alternative to braces. No brackets and wires mean patients can smile with confidence. The clear, custom-fit aligner trays really are almost invisible.”  Even better, they can be removed during meals and for cleaning, so patients don’t have to compromise on their favorite indulgences.

Outside of work, Megan enjoys being outdoors, particularly taking walks and enjoying the beautiful mountains around Knoxville.

Julie, RDH, BS - Dental Hygienist

Julie is an East Tennessee native who has been on the My Family Dentistry team since 2006. She’s earned her Associates and Bachelor’s degrees from ETSU and has experience as a Registered Dental Hygienist since 2005. In addition, she has certification in delivering nitrous oxide and local anesthesia.

Julie is the Botox Champion at My Family Dentistry and has vast knowledge about the procedure. My Family Dentistry is the ideal health professional to provide Botox injections, because the office fully understands and embraces the entire facial skeleton, including muscles and nerve innervation, which in turn helps him to provide the most natural-looking results. To ensure comfort for our patients, Julie and Dr. Mullins can also anesthetize the treatment area, making delivery nearly painless.    

Julie is a believer in Botox and Juvéderm because she sees what they do for her skin, fine lines, and wrinkles, and how they make her feel.

Julie, her husband, and their four children love spending time outdoors – fishing, hiking, camping, and playing sports. They also love The Vols and watching games at Neyland Stadium!

Jenny, Knoxville Sleeps Coordinator, BSRDH, Myofunctional Therapist

After earning her degree in Microbiology from UTK, Jenny studied to be a dental hygienist and joined the My Family Dentist Team in July 2013. She loves giving patients the best care and going above and beyond when it comes to solving problems.

Jenny wanted to make more of an impact on their overall wellness, so she began studying sleep apnea to really help her patients live healthier. My Family Dentistry has offered sleep apnea screenings since 2017 – Jenny stepped into the coordinator role in order to streamline assessment and treatment. 

To help make sure their patients don’t miss out on testing that can help improve their lives, the team got their own HST (home sleep test) machine and also began providing the option to let patients perform their own sleep apnea testing in the comfort and privacy of their own bedrooms.

Jenny enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and their Puggle, Duncan. The whole family loves hiking, boating, grilling, and UT football!

Penny, Clinical Coordinator

Originally from Saltville, Virginia, Penny moved to Knoville in 1992 and considers this her home. GO VOLS! Penny is the proud mother of Tyler, age 25 and Cassi, age 17. She and her husband Bill enjoy hiking, boating, college football, and RVing in their spare time.

Penny was manager and co-owner of a local business when she and her children became patients of Dr. Mullins soon after the practice opened in 2004. “The level of care and expertise that the children and I received at My Family Dentistry was beyond compare.”

In 2015, when a position opened up at My Family Dentistry, Penny became a member of the team. “It was almost like coming home. Having been a patient for all these years, and then being given the opportunity to become a part of this team, has been pretty amazing.”

Dr. Mullins and all the dental professionals in the office go beyond just caring for your teeth. The entire health of the patient is taken into consideration when preventive care and treatments are rendered. This, and continuing education, sets The My Family Dentistry apart from others in the field.
