Our Family
Mackenzie & Westley
Mackenzie may be shy, but she’s always willing to lend a helping hand. She can usually be found intently focusing on dentals, bringing all the knowledge she can, and comforting patients in the treatment area.
Westley — Spidey, fast cars, and power tools are what the youngest member of Beechwood’s staff is all about. If you hear a “ROAR!!” from somewhere in the building, just know: No dinosaurs at Beechwood, just a Westley doing what he does best.
