Welcome

Vicki Espy has been a part of Brookway Dental longer than anyone here except Dr. Doty (Since October 1997).  She graduated from the University of Mississippi at the Medical Center in 1992 with a B.S. in Dental Hygiene.  Since then she has maintained her Registered Dental Hygienist license, as well as her CPR certification.

Vicki has been happily married to John Espy for over 15 years and commutes daily from her lovely home in Monticello.  They have two vivacious children who keep them on their toes.  Joanna is a budding artist and plays the flute for Rod Paige Middle School Band.  Noah is a future soccer Olympian and also enjoys baseball, Cub Scouts.  Both children are deeply involved with the children’s mission organizations, GA’s and RA’s, at Beth Baptist Church.
 For quality family time, they all enjoy riding 4-wheelers on Fair River, skiing with friends or taking off with their camper for a getaway

Virginia Davis, or G.G, as she is affectionately known far and wide, originally came to work for Dr. Doty in March 1997.  The practice was small then, and she had to not only learn, but be ready to perform, every aspect: from the front desk to assisting the dentist.  She has tried other professions and other practices…having always kept an eye out for greener pastures…but her strong connection to Brookway Dental brought her back again in March ’08 as a fulltime dental assistant.
The scope of our practice has broadened since those early days so that, although she was already CPR certified and held her Radiology license (from Meridian, MS), Virginia was excited to have the opportunity to go to Nashville and Dallas recently for additional training.  We are proud of her for completing the “Oral Sedation Dentistry” course, along with associated techniques necessary for “Airway Manager” and “Ventilator,” as well as two courses in “Orthodontic Staff Training Program.”
You can’t be around Virginia without hearing about her WONDERFUL grandchildren: Kolby, and Brady Hart and Mia and Noah Davis, proudly presented to her by her two children: Rusty Allen Davis and Mandy Louise Hart, respectively.
Virginia’s fiancé is retired Captain, Brookhaven Fire Department.  They share a great love for their grandchildren and DANCING!

DeAnna Simpson, world traveler and hygienist extraordinaire, came to us from the U.S. Virgin Islands in February 2008.  Holding an Associate of Science Degree from Pearl River Community College (1994), after completing Dental Assistant requirements at Hinds Community College in 1990, Deanna worked in specialty wellness practice, combining dental and medical treatment of medically compromised patients.  She also worked with the St. Thomas Infectious Disease Clinic and the Ryan White Program.  Outside of the office, Deanna enjoys traveling, scuba diving sailing and kayaking.  We have delighted to benefit from her professional and personal experiences…and did we mention that she LOVES cats?!?!

Libby has been part of the Brookway Dental family for over 5 years – but she has been a part of Dr. Doty’s family a lot longer.  In fact, he is married to her youngest sister, Sally.  No in-law jokes, ok!  It works for us.

Using her bachelor’s degree in Secretarial Science from Mississippi University for Women, Libby has experience in a variety of business environments: law firms, a Fortune 500 manufacturing conglomerate, higher education and even an advertising agency.  This background has uniquely prepared her for the many “behind the scenes” facets of a thriving dental practice.

Last year Libby’s adventurous nature took her to Okinawa, Japan, where she visited her daughter Casey and her husband (USAF Captain Brian Knauf).  This summer she will return to help them welcome her first grandchild, Peter, who is expected around June 26.  Luckily, Libby’s other daughter, Emily (chemical engineer for the AL Dept. of Environmental Mgmt.), and her husband (Adam Anderson, civil engineer with the AL Dept. of Transportation) live much closer (Montgomery, AL). 

Long-time residents of the Brookhaven/McComb area may have had the opportunity to hear Libby’s husband, Charlie, entertain at the old Dixie Springs restaurant.  Charlie and Libby share a deep love of music/theatre and attend musical performances and plays whenever possible.
