Melinda is a graduate of Macon College and has been an integral member of the Young and Tanner family since 1994. She loves what she does because it allows her to get to know so many wonderful people in our community. Melinda appreciates the opportunity to help them take care of their oral health. She likes working one on one with patients, teaching them all of the best ways to care for their teeth at home. What’s kept her around for so long? Melinda will tell you it’s because of all of the people she works with and their ability to function both independently and as a team. Melinda also appreciates the dentists at Young and Tanner for being so kind and considerate in the way they treat both patients and staff. Outside of taking care of teeth, Melinda is married and has two grown daughters — one who lives in Atlanta and the other lives in Los Angeles. She loves traveling, cooking, gardening, hiking, and photography.
