Meet Our Dental Staff

Janel joined Park Cedar Dentistry in 2017, and has proven to be a valuable asset to the practice. Janel wears many “hats” in our office. She can be seen assisting the doctors with clinical care, answering the phone to be of service to our patients, or filing insurance claims. Janel has a vast amount of experience from crown and bridge work to pediatric dentistry.

Janel lives in Charlotte with her two children, Carson and Khloe. When she isn’t chasing her two wonderful children around she manages to enjoy hiking and reading in her free time.

Andrea has been with this practice longer than anyone. She joined the founder of the practice in 1981 (Dr. Sturm didn’t join the practice until 1983!) With over 30 years experience, dental assisting is second nature to Andrea leaving her free to focus her time and attention on getting to know patients and understanding them and their concerns. Her favorite part of her job is working with the public because everyone is unique and that makes every day special.

Andrea is a native of Charlotte, North Carolina but has lived in Rock Hill, South Carolina since 1992. She is married with 2 children, Megan and Josh. In her leisure time she can usually be found near the pool reading, swimming, or vacationing at Charleston, SC.

Beth has been in the practice since 2002. She welcomes challenges and the variety that dental assisting provides. She really likes getting to know and developing relationships with all of her patients.

Beth assists with all procedures, but she particularly likes surgical and implant cases. She is a member of the Association of Dental Implant Auxiliaries and is certified by the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. These organizations require additional continuing education hours and ensure she stays current on the latest implant and surgical techniques.

A wife and mother of two children, Beth enjoys spending time with her family, reading and working on her many crafting or home projects.
