Practicing dental hygiene in Tucson since 1995, I am focused on treating my patients with compassion, respect, and kindness. I received my Associate of Applied Sciences degree in Dental Hygiene from Pima Community College. I make it a priority to attend numerous continuing education courses in all fields of dentistry to stay current on industry happenings. I’m a member of the Arizona Dental Association and continue to love caring for my long-term patients and new patients alike.
I’m married – my wife is a practicing dental hygienist, as well – and have two amazing children. In my free time, I enjoy family, exercise, sports (especially U of A), and numerous outdoor activities.
With a passion for helping and educating people, I earned three degrees in my quest to determine what I wanted to do for a living. I found dental hygiene to be the best way for me to care for people for the past 21 years.
When I’m not working, I enjoy hiking our Arizona trails with my son, spending time in the White Mountains, and being with family. I’m also an avid reader.
I’m a native Arizonan and grew up here in Northwest Tucson. I graduated from the University of Arizona with a bachelor's degree in merchandising before returning to school for dental hygiene at Puma Community College. I began working with Dr. Dan Hornsby in 1998 and have extensive experience in general and cosmetic dentistry. I’ve also worked in a periodontal practice specializing in treating gum disease and implant care. I genuinely enjoy my coworkers and patients and am devoted to helping each person in my care achieve optimal oral health and a great smile.
I’ve been married to my husband, Matthew, for over 20 years. We have two amazing boys – Nathan and Kellan – who are my absolute pride and joy. I love traveling, camping, hiking, photography, Bible study, and spending time with my family in my free time.
Originally from the Chicagoland area, I moved here almost two years ago from Atlanta, GA. I earned a bachelor's degree in dental hygiene from the University of Iowa and have worked in clinical practice since 1993. I returned to school to achieve a master's degree in public health from the University of Florida in 2019.
Away from the office, I love spending time with my amazing son, who recently moved here and enjoys Tucson as much as I do. I’m also a fan of hiking, playing tennis, reading books, and spending time with family and friends.
Assisting Dr. Hornsby since 1991, I’m a big believer that time flies when you’re passionate about your profession and truly desire the best outcomes for all your patients! I graduated from Sunnyside and Pima Medical Institute and am passionate about staying current on the innovations and technologies that enable patients to protect and strengthen their smiles.
Away from the office, I enjoy time with my husband, Ed, and our dogs, Bailey and Ranger. I’m also a big fan of collegiate-level sports.
I’ve lived in this beautiful Tucson community for over 33 years and have been dental assisting for over 20. I obtained my dental assistant certification from Pima Medical Institute and an associate's degree from Pima Community College, and I absolutely love my profession.
When I’m not caring for smiles, I like to spend my free time working out. I have one daughter who keeps me busy with softball and marching band, and I love spending time with family and friends whenever possible.
I’ve been a dental assistant since 2009, and I love helping patients have a successful experience in the dental office.
I’ve been happily married since 2014 and love spending time with family and friends. I’m a huge U of A fan, and my hobbies include doing Sudoku puzzles and listening to country music. I’m also mom to a boy named Bentley and couldn’t be more thrilled about it!
My name is Lorena, but most people know me as “Rena.” My dental career began as a dental assistant for Dr. Satish Hiremath in 2000. In 2018, my role changed to vice president of operations, and again in 2022, as president of operations for Bell Dental Arts, where I manage the day-to-day operations of Dr. Thomas Bell’s dental offices.
When I’m not in the office, I love spending time with my supportive husband and two children. I also own a website design business and feel blessed to be part of such a great team of exceptional doctors and staff.
My dental career started almost 30 years ago when I served as a dental assistant. I then became part of the front office team and I continue to bounce back and forth as needed. I’ve always found that dentistry brings surprises around every corner, and that’s what makes it so exciting.
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my two children and two dogs, who are my world. I also enjoy going to the movies, shopping, and taking on home projects.
