SCO DENTISTRY - Key Persons
Hello, I am Andrea Bennett and have been with this office for 19 years. I became associated with this office while in dental assisting school and did my externship here with Dr. John Oakley. I was also a patient here while growing up. I started working here in 1990 after Dr. Oakley called me to work as a receptionist. After being here for a while and with encouragement from the other staff, I decided to start taking classes and apply for Dental Hygiene School. I was accepted in 1994 to Elizabethtown Dental Hygiene program through University of Kentucky. I worked here on days off while in college and after graduating in 1996, I started working as a hygienist with Dr. Shrewsbury. I feel I chose a great career. I love what I do and working one on one with my patients, and the relationships I have made with them through the years. I enjoy helping people to restore their mouths to healthy, happy smiles. I am a divorced mother of a 25 year old son. I enjoy gardening and working in the yard. I also love to travel. I feel you only have one life to see and do all you can.
Hello. I am Casey Fletcher, one of the hygienist in our office. I'm married and live in Bardstown. I have been an employee since 2005. I graduated from U of L with an associate degree in dental hygiene with a license to administer anesthesia and nitrous oxide. The best thing about being a hygienist is the interaction with patients, building relationships with patients, and of course helping patients have good oral health.
My name is Christine Pfost. I am an Expanded Duty Dental Assistant (EDDA). I have been in the dental profession for over 20 years to include 3 years in periodontics. I have been working with Dr. Shrewsbury since 2007 and received my EDDA from the University of Louisville. I like meeting people, restoring smiles and making sure that patients are comfortable. In my spare time I enjoy fitness and outdoor activities with my family.
Dr. Jay Claywell achieved his Doctorate of Dental Medicine at the University of Kentucky in 2009 after attending Georgetown College for his undergraduate studies where he also played soccer. Dr. Claywell continues to further his education and now specializes in sedation dentistry, implant restorations, cosmetic dentistry and same day crowns, along with his proficiency in fillings, extractions, root canals and dentures. He came back after his studies to practice in Bardstown and serve the community in which he was born and raised. Dr. Claywell is married to his beatiful wife Lauren and has two lovely young girls, Kennedy and Carli.
Dr. Claywell maintains a standard of excellence by always implementing new technology in the practice, and is dedicated to achieving healthy smiles through innovative procedures, and by customizing each patient's dental plan to fit their individual needs.
I graduated from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry in 2008 and have been working alongside my work family ever since. I feel very fortunate to be surrounded by wonderful people here and enjoy seeing patients get comfortable dental work. I frequent rough river, the gym and occasionally chase the small ball all over the golf course when not fixing teeth.
My name is Dr. Ronald G. Shrewsbury and I graduated from the University of Louisville with a D.M.D. degree in 1985. I received the annual student award for Outstanding Achievement in periodontics by the American Academy of Periodontology, was elected to membership in the Delphi Society for outstanding academic performance and received the X. Elwood Sanders Award for Exodontia. I am president of Shrewsbury, Claywell & Oliver Dentistry, P.S.C., formerly Shrewsbury & Associates; and Oakley and Shrewsbury, P.S.C. I began practicing dentistry in 1985 with Dr. John Oakley. Over the years and with the retirement of Dr. Oakley, the practiced evolved into Shrewsbury and Associates. We are now practicing in a recently constructed building with all new state-of-the-art equipment and furnishings, an office that I had long envisioned. I have two great dental associates and a great staff, many of whom have been here as long or nearly as long as I have. I am married to Jennifer Hamilton Shrewsbury and have three children, John 18, Luke 15 and Mary Haley 13. When time permits, I love to play golf, fish, read and travel.
