Peggy moved from Phoenix, Arizona to Nokomis, Florida in 1972. She began her dental assisting career in 1985 and loves building relationships with her patients and being able to comfort them during their dental procedures.

Peggy has always loved the “smile enhancement” process in dentistry and from the moment she first entered Dr. Koval’s office, she could see how passionate Dr. Koval is about providing an amazing process from start to finish transforming every smile to perfection. That is when Peggy knew she just had to be a part of this amazing dental team.

Rosie was born and raised in Sarasota. She is a Miniature Aussie Doodle. At birth, she was incredibly calm, mild mannered and loving. At 4 months she started visiting the office and decided she wanted to be part of the team.

From the beginning, with no formal therapy training, she would quietly walk through the office and greet patients.

In short time, with “dog friendly” patients and with permission, she will rest in their laps, sleep and comfort them.

Some consider her our “furry sedation”.

In her spare time, Rosie loves running on the beach, being brushed and playing with her toys.
