Buffy’s vibrant personality and ability to multi-task have made her an asset to our team for over 20 years. A people-person through and through, Buffy’s talents include: guiding and reassuring patients with fears about dental procedures. Her humor, contagious smile, and story-telling make our patients feel like they are out to coffee with a friend.

Her talents in freelance photography extend from our office, where she takes valuable dental photographs, to the community. She attends and photographs most local sporting events, so look for her sports photos in the Vermont Standard. Buffy’s long-standing presence in the greater Woodstock community is evidenced in her multiple volunteer activities.

People and prevention-oriented health care always appealed to Candace, so dentistry seemed a natural career direction for her. Candace has practiced with us since 1989. Her knowledge in areas of periodontal and preventative dentistry, restorative procedures, and cosmetic dentistry is multi-layered. Like all of our staff, Candace is dedicated to continuing education. Thus, she takes a suite of courses yearly to keep her up to date, so she can provide optimal patient care and education. Make sure you tap her as a resource if you have questions!

Candace is also a talented horsewoman. She rides dressage, organizes horse related events for the Central Vermont Dressage Association, Inc., and trains horses. Currently, she has amateur status for dressage competition, which she maintains by attending many clinics, training seminars, and competitions. Candace is just as dedicated to education outside of the office as in.

Jayne is the friendly voice you hear on the phone ready to listen and help in any way she can. She has a wealth of administrative skills, but her strength lies in understanding the needs of each patient. Her strong organizational skills, can-do positive attitude, and ability to roll with change, have fondly earned her the office nickname of “Julie the Cruise Director.” Since 2001, Jayne has enjoyed the challenges of our busy office because of the consistent, rewarding opportunities to meet the needs of our patients and her co-workers.

Jayne, born and raised in the area, has a deep understanding of all that is Vermont. Outside the office you will find her kayaking, camping, snowshoeing, or on long hikes accompanied by family, friends, and any dog willing to come along.

Jeannie has worn many hats since joining our office in 1983. After assisting Dr. Laughlin for many years, she became our patient coordinator and now fills the role of financial coordinator. She has strong organizational and analytical skills and effectively handles insurance and billing. Jeannie’s kind nature is a perfect fit for helping our patients choose an appropriate financial arrangement, so that the best dental care affordable.

Jeannie enjoys the tranquility of Vermont’s changing seasons. In summer, she spends her spare time putting up wood for winter, and keeping her fields and trails open, so that she, her husband and their Labrador Retrievers can hike and play ball. In winter, Jeannie spends time enjoying the snow and knitting. Vegetable gardening is another passion of Jeannie’s; she starts all of her seeds in late winter and nurtures them to become beautiful starts for her diverse and productive raised beds.
