Meet Our Dental Team
Tom
Office Manager/Chief Financial Officer
This is my first year working in dentistry; however, I have over 30 years of experience working in the corporate world and in management. My wife, Dr. Robin Ford, has been a dentist in the Dublin area for over 25 years. Her quality of care and concern for her patients has touched the lives of many people; she makes a difference in her patients' lives and by working here, I hope to help contribute to this level of care. Good oral health is an important part of your overall physical well-being, and I am glad to be a contributing member of such a wonderful group that is so dedicated to helping people maintain optimal long-term health. It is my responsibility as the office manager to make sure that your office visits run smoothly and that you are satisfied and all of your questions are answered. I'm always available if you need anything, and I look forward to working with you.
I am originally from Anderson, Indiana, and I have lived in Dublin since 1990. Dr. Ford and I together have five children; four in college and one child in the fifth grade. We also have a golden retriever named Maggie, and a Shih-poo named Max. Our family decided to adopt Max after taking all of our children to see the movie "Marley and Me" last Christmas. When I'm not at the practice, I enjoy playing golf, and being involved in stock trading/investments. I have always been active in community leadership through various chamber of commerce boards, economic development boards, and the United Way in the various cities that I've worked. I am excited about the opportunity to spend more time in Dublin, and I plan to be involved in various civic groups, including the Muirfield Village Association and Dublin Chamber of Commerce.
Amy
Treatment Plan Coordinator
I began working in the dental field over 5 years ago when an opportunity came open for me after graduating from college. It didn't take long before I came to truly enjoy working in dentistry. I love making people feel good about themselves and their smiles. I also enjoy seeing how over time, our patients come to realize the value of their smile and will do anything to keep it healthy and beautiful. Dentistry truly can change your life, and as a treatment coordinator, I am proud to know that I am able to help our patients achieve the smiles of their dreams!
Outside of the practice, I enjoy living an active lifestyle. Hunting, fishing, camping, and playing tennis are just a few of the things I enjoy doing, and I especially love being outdoors and spending time playing with my dog.

Welcome! I have been working in dentistry for the over ten years. My career in dentistry began a suggestion by a friend of mine, and right away, I knew that I love it! I enjoy the teamwork, and the friendly conversations that I have with my patients and my co-workers. I like working with people, and helping people, and in dentistry I am able to both each day.
I have lived in Columbus my whole life. When I am away from the practice, I enjoy almost all outdoor activities and I am actively involved in my church. My husband, Jeremy, and I are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our first child. We can't wait to welcome him/her into our lives!
Jessi
Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH)
I graduated from Ohio State University in 2004 with a Bachelor of Science degree in dental hygiene, and I have been honored to have been working with Dr. Ford every since. Dental hygiene has always been what I wanted to do; I was fascinated with dentistry growing up, and I was always job shadowing my own dentist. I love getting to know my patients and developing lasting friendships with them while they receive treatment. This practice is a positive, upbeat, and educational place for people of all ages to come and receive quality dental care.
I am originally from Cuyahoga Falls, and have lived in Lewis Center for over ten years. In my free time, I enjoy reading, cooking, working out, and spending time with my husband, Tony.
Darla
Dental Assistant
I always knew that I wanted to work in healthcare, and after spending one day shadowing my dentist, I knew that dentistry was going to be my career path. I have now been working in dentistry for over 12 years. I love making our patients feel good about themselves and their dental health, and I enjoy building friendships with each of our patients and their families. Working with the team feels like working with my family. Everybody here has been with Dr. Ford for many years, and continuity of our team is great. I think it helps our patients feel relaxed to know that we all work together, and we all enjoy what we're going here.
I am a Columbus native, and have lived here my whole life. My husband, Brad, and I have one daughter named Jordan who is three years old. When I'm not at the practice, I enjoy cooking, walking, and spending time with my family. I am also actively involved in my church.
Mary
Registered Dental Hygienist
I have been working in the dental field for over 25 years. I was originally inspired to work in dentistry by my own dentist when I was in high school. I had a lot of dental work done, and spent a lot of time sitting in "the chair." My practice had such a wonderful atmosphere that I knew I wanted to work somewhere just like that someday. Dr. Ford's practice reminds me of my childhood dental practice. We all have a good time here, and we all enjoy what we do. I have developed so many meaningful friendships with my patients, and I feel like each of them have become part of my family.
I am originally from Germantown, Tennessee, and I have lived in Dublin since 1998. My husband, Chuck, and I have three children, Katie, Lauren, and Chuck III. We also have two dogs, Murphy and Buster. I enjoy playing tennis, reading, and walking the dogs. I am also involved with my church.
Elisabeth
Dental Assistant
Good oral hygiene is important to me, and I have always wanted to help people take care of their smiles and their health. I began working in the dental field in 2009, and I couldn't be happier. I love meeting our new patients and helping Dr. Ford reconstruct and build healthy, beautiful smiles. Our office is like a big, happy family. We all work well together and we all help each other so that our patients receive the best care possible. I enjoy seeing how grateful our patients are to have healthy smiles, and I'm glad to know that I am able to help them keep their smiles looking good for a lifetime.
Outside of the practice, I enjoy running, playing lacrosse, cooking, walking my dog Marley, and spending time with family and friends. I am also actively involved in my church.
