My name is Monica Jo (Archer) Winger. I was raised in rural Carroll County and have lived in Lafayette since 1995. I have two beautiful daughters, Madison who was born in 1997 and Riley who was born in 2001. I love spending time with them and our dog, Fred. I am engaged to be married to William "Bill" Stull who was born and raised in Riverside California, but moved here a few years ago due to his career. I went to Delphi Schools from elementary to 10th grade. I then completed and graduated from Rossville Senior High in 1993. I received my Dental Assisting Certificate from Ivy Tech State College in August of 1994 and my Expanded Functions Certificate in April of 1997. I entered dentistry because for some odd reason it really interested me. I love what I do !!! I get to be artistic and there are constant changes, which Dr. Guido prides himself on keeping up with. So there is little time to get bored. I am constantly continuing my education in dentistry. I have been with Dr. Guido since 1996 and with God's blessing I will be here for many more years to come.
Hello! My name is Shirley Richardson and I am a licensed dental hygienist for Dr. Guido. My husband and I have been married for over 25 years, and we have 3 grown children. I discovered my love for dentistry approximately 14 years ago. When my youngest started kindergarten, I had an opportunity to work as a dental assistant for the dentist in Lebanon (my hometown). During the 10 years I was employed as an assistant, I decided to further my education by going to IU School of Dentistry I Indianapolis to obtain my degree in dental hygiene. I graduated from IUSD in 2000 the same year my middle child graduated from high school. I came on board here at Dr. Guido's immediately after passing the state board examination. I have had a lot of fun getting to know the patients. I feel the greatest aspect of my job is providing comfortable, quality hygiene care, but also teaching patients the skills they will need to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Hello! My name is Amanda Ray. As part of this wonderful office, I have many responsibilities. I am cross-trained in many different areas to make things run most efficiently. As you enter our office as a new patient, I am the person you will spend your first appointment (Comprehensive Exam) with. Since the Comprehensive Exam takes approximately 2 hours, I get the opportunity to know most of our patients pretty well. I have also been trained to help in clinical situations when needed. The other area I am trained in is the front office where I help manage accounts, deal with insurance issues, and answer phones among many other tasks. I was born and raised in the Lafayette area and that is where I still reside. After graduating from Harrison High School in 2000, I found my passion for dentistry and started working with Dr. Guido & our wonderful team in April of 2002. Besides dentistry I have a lot of other passions & hobbies. Pretty much anything you could imagine that includes being outside I love to do but spending time with family and friends tops everything! I hope to see you soon and be able to include you as part of our WONDERFUL dental family!
Hello , my name is Lynn Day and I am a Licensed Dental Hygienist working with Dr. Vince Guido, Dr. Welch and his fun, friendly team. I graduated from the Medical College of Georgia with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Dental Hygiene in 1976 and have enjoyed working in general and periodontal (gum and bone disease) dental offices over the past 29 years. Because of my husband's career as an Engineer/Manager with Alcoa and now Wabash National, I have had the opportunity to practice dental hygiene ALL over the country! I am licensed in six states including Georgia, North Carolina, Iowa, New York, Kansas, and now Indiana. I also taught Radiology at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, North Carolina, and have spent countless hours volunteering (at my children's schools and at Well-Child Clinics) to educate students and their parents on the importance of good oral hygiene and routine care. My family and I moved to Lafayette in 1997 and immediately became active in many, many school and community programs. My husband, Mike, and I have two wonderful children. I am excited to have the opportunity to work with Dr. Guido and his fantastically skillful dental team. I really enjoy educatiing patients about the many benefits of good oral hygiene. I look forward to helping you attain and maintain your oral health, and therefore your overall health. Remember --Never underestimate the power of a beautiful SMILE!
