Hello, my name is Gloria. I am certified as a Nurse Practitioner, and I have a Doctorate in Family Practice. I am excited to join Hartman Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and to bring a fresh pair of eyes to the dental medicine world! I love what I do, and I make every effort to deliver excellent patient care, and to make a patient’s visit a relaxed and pleasant one.
