my first grandson born in August 2010, support the children of this
community and the world such as by being part of effort through Rotary

graduated from Missouri Southern State University Dental Hygiene

all love what they do and have big hearts. In my spare time I enjoy

niece, nephew and my family. Family is very important so I try to
cherish every moment.
Julia Hanson - Dental Assistant
I started in dentistry in 1994, Dr. Stein bought me from Dr. Mathes in
2004. I cannot tell you where the time went, but I have been having a
blast! Cosmetic dentistry is advancing rapidly and we have some of the
most amazing products available. Well that’s half my life. In the other
half Kevin and I celebrated 25 years of marriage in 2009. Just doesn’t
seem possible today. My “big son” Daryl James, actually he’s my baby is
as tall as I am and starts 8th grade this fall. He no longer has a boys’
voice, it’s really happening he’s a wonderful young man. My Puddy Pie
and BFF has decided to become a dentist so this fall it’s hello KS!
Thank you Lord that when I call and cry for help, you will answer and he
will say here am I-Isaiah 58:9.
With the Love and Blessing of God,
Julia Hanson
