Get to know Dr. Winfrey:
Thinking at a young age that I would make an excellent math teacher, I later realized my love for art and science came together beautifully in dentistry. I also love being part of the Church Health team because it allows me to combine my professional skills with a deeper sense of purpose. Every day, I have the privilege of caring for patients who might otherwise go without dental treatment, and I see firsthand how restoring a smile can restore confidence, dignity, and hope.
At Church Health, dentistry is not just about fixing teeth—it’s about serving the whole person. I am inspired by the mission to provide compassionate care in a community that values faith, healing, and equity. Being part of this team reminds me that my work is bigger than myself; it’s about building healthier lives and stronger communities, one patient at a time.
