Meet the Staff

Administrative Team

Sherry Miller

Sherry

Hello, I'm Sherry, the Administrative Manager. I have been in dentistry since 1988.  I started out as a chairside dental assistant and moved into practice management in 1994.  I am very proud to be a part of this wonderful practice. We have so much to offer our patients. Our doctors are extremely skilled in various aspects of dentistry, and each one has sincere compassion and empathy for their patients! They truly take pride in their accomplishments.

Something that separates GDA from other practices is that since each of our doctors has different strengths, we rarely have to refer patients out of the practice for a second opinion. Instead, they can simply consult with one of our other doctors. Our doctors, and ultimately our patients, benefit from this exchange of expertise and skills. It is a very unique environment. We hope you'll join us soon!

Being a Doctor Coordinator for Drs. Batistas, Davenport and Boudreau allows me to be in the clinic working directly with a doctor as well as at the front desk where I get to help patients. I love interacting with patients and seeing how we have the ability to change peoples lives. I have a lot of respect for the hardworking, dedicated team of professionals I work with.  We treat patients, as well as each other, like family.

I like to make them feel comfortable and welcome to be in my treatment room, so you might see my patients with a blanket over them or a pillow under their head. Some patients even fall asleep in my chair!

As our head dental assistant, I assist our doctors while they create beautiful healthy smiles. I do whatever it takes to get the job done! I have seen dentistry change so much in 25 years, all for the better. I have had the pleasure of watching children grow up and have their own children! I know many patients by face, so it feels like a big family reunion every day when I come to work. I love being a part of such a family oriented team that has a common goal of making patients comfortable and happy!

I have three wonderful, grown children, eight grandchildren, and six great grandchildren; they are all my pride and joy! Gardening is second best to spending time with my family. I also enjoy my yearly vacations with my sisters!

As our Invisalign coordinator, I see patients from the day they come in for their complimentary consultation to the day we deliver their final retainers and whitening trays. I monitor each patients progress, along with Dr. Davenport, to make sure their aligners fit correctly and their teeth movements are tracking. Its great to see the progress and the before and after of each and every patient and how it dramatically changes their day-to-day living. I love to see the difference a small amount of dental treatment can make in a persons smile and overall happiness.

I am a native of Warrenton, VA and have lived here all of my life. I am a runner and I love outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing, and wake boarding.

As one of our dental assistants, I can be found at the side of any one of our doctors during patient procedures. I especially enjoy the cosmetic aspect of dentistry. There is nothing better than seeing a patient smile without feeling self-conscious and happy because they love their new smile. A beautiful smile can really give a person confidence, inside and out! Our team is made up of a large group of fabulous, talented people who truly care about the health of each and every person who comes into our office.

I am married to my husband, Charles, and we look forward to having children some day soon. For now, I enjoy gardening, long walks, shopping, dining out, and spending time with my husband, friends and family.
