Lindsay Major grew up in the small town of Belle Plaine, MN. After graduating high school, she moved to Hawaii where she started her dental career as a dental assistant. She spent 2014-2017 working for military dental clinics, gaining experience and knowledge about the field. When she moved back home, she attended Herzing University and graduated in 2022 with a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Dental Hygiene.

She is thorough and uses gentle hands with her patients, and treats all concerns with the utmost importance. Lindsay knew that this was the right career for her almost immediately. From starting as a dental assistant to going to school to be a hygienist, as well as furthering her knowledge with continuing education, almost every aspect of the field excites her. She loves working with people and enjoys the smiles of her patients when they can see and feel a difference after a cleaning.

When she isn’t at the clinic, Lindsay loves to spend time with her husband Erick and their 3 cats. She enjoys adventure (yes, she’s jumped out of a perfectly good airplane!), camping, traveling, reading, Minnesota Gopher sports and the Minnesota Wild. But most of all she loves doing puzzles!

Virmari has a diverse background in both dental and medical fields, holding a Dental Assistant Certificate with Expanded Functions, which provided hands-on skills in dental care, as well as a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing Science, which expanded her expertise in healthcare, patient care, and medical sciences.

Originally from Puerto Rico, Virmari relocated to Minnesota with her family after her husband was offered a position in the state. The move was driven by a desire to provide greater opportunities for their family, particularly given Minnesota’s reputation as one of the best states for medical professionals, aligning well with their career aspirations.

Virmari’s passion for healthcare began at a young age when she witnessed a child choking on a piece of candy and was able to help. That moment became a defining experience, solidifying her lifelong commitment to making a difference in people’s lives through healthcare.

Outside of work, Virmari enjoys staying active by going to the gym, biking, and dancing. Quality time with family is also a priority, whether watching movies together or caring for their pets. These activities provide a sense of balance and fulfillment in both her personal and professional life.
