Carol Palko | Office Manager / Dental Assistant

Webster’s dictionary should incorporate “Carol Palko” within the definitions of such words as “INVALUABLE” or “INDISPENSIBLE.” These are just a few of the descriptions that come closest to depicting her role in the service, care and dental knowledge provided to our dental guests.

As Office Manager and Dental Assistant, Carol is the senior member of the team, whose service spans two decades! Beginning as a Chairside Assistant, Carol has excelled in every duty, task, and responsibility assigned to her. Her undaunting loyalty, dedication, and conscientiousness has provided her with the skills and experience to sit at the managerial helm.

Ms. Palko’s dental care experience arises from employment in several prominent practices of general dentistry, where she fulfilled clinical, clerical, and managerial duties. Attending hundreds of hours in continuing dental education, many with Dr. Shandrick, Carol has acquired a wealth of wisdom in such areas including: initial periodontal therapy, advanced cosmetic dentistry, practice management, digital photography and imaging, and soft tissue laser.

Carol Palko has attended the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI), receiving certification in programs such as “Advanced Anterior Aesthetics (team)”, “Advanced Posterior Aesthetics (team)”, and “Neuromuscular Occlusion (team).” Most recently, Carol studied the science of laser therapy at LVI in order to achieve her proficiency certification in LASER UTILIZATION.

From within this brilliant, educated, and skilled dental professional radiates all the warmth, compassion, and sense of humor that round out Carol’s value as our team member. Carol can assist you with just about any and every question or concern that may arise. She also monitors the activities of the entire team to ensure that our dental guests receive the best dental experience possible at the Shandrick Dental Care Studios.

As the veteran team member, Carol coordinates our in-chair ZOOM 2 ‘tooth power-whitening’ program. Ms. Palko further provides chairside assistance during the “advanced cosmetic/aesthetic” dental treatments, neuromuscular evaluations, and “full mouth rejuvenations.”

We are so fortunate to have Carol Palko as head of our dental team. As our dental guest,
we are sure you’ll soon agree how “invaluable” she truly is!
