Our Team

I grew up in the small town of Vassar, MI (right by Frankenmuth!) and lived there for 24 years before moving to Ann Arbor. I've been with Ann Arbor Family Dental since November of 2019 and feel so fortunate to work with such a competent, caring, and friendly team! I graduated from Mott Community College with high honors in 2016 with my Associate in Applied Science in Dental Hygiene and received my licensure shortly after that. I went on to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene in 2018 and a Master of Science in Dental Hygiene in 2020, both from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. I am a member of the American Dental Hygienists' Association and Michigan Dental Hygienists' Association. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and being active outdoors - hiking, biking, and snowboarding!

My name is Diane, and I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Michigan in 1985. Through my years of practicing dental hygiene, I have developed a strong foundation in patient education, preventative care and compassionate care for my patients. I feel very fortunate to have joined Dr. Schmidt and his dental team in June 2022 and I look forward to many more years of helping patients achieve and maintain their optimal dental health.

Outside of work what I enjoy most of all is spending time with my family. My daughter is following in my footsteps and is currently a student at the University of Michigan. I am looking forward to meeting all the established patients who have been seeing Dr. Schmidt for many years and welcoming new patients in the future. 

I have been a dental assistant since 1987, and with Dr. Schmidt since 1993.

I have a wide array of duties in our office, from doing hands-on dentistry to ordering supplies.

My favorite part of being at our office is getting to know our patients and putting them at ease. 

I especially enjoy working with kids to make their dental visit the best possible visit.

I enjoy working with Dr. Schmidt because he is honest and sincere with our patients. Our patients like the fact that he explains what needs to be done and takes the time to answer questions.

I have two teenage daughters.

Hello!

I am one of the first faces you will see when you walk in to see Dr. Schmidt.  I answer the phones, bill the insurance and help schedule patients.  I enjoy working here, because of the great patients and the people I work with. 

Since being here, I have enjoyed learning about the technology in dentistry, like crowns being made the same day and panoramic x rays.At home, I enjoy watching football and basketball and I especially like to watch my son swim.  I also like to travel.

Welcome to our practice!

It is my job to assist our patients and to attend to the administrative details in the business dental office. I am responsible for all the administrative details that make a successful practice run smoothly.

I enjoy working here. The team here is well trained, friendly and welcoming - and it really shows!

When I am not in the office I like horseback riding and spending time with husband and two daughters. I enjoy caring for my horse, goat and my three dogs.
