Meet Our Staff
We Offer Top-Notch Family Dentistry
Dr. Barbara Bowman-Hensley isn’t the only highly qualified and committed dental professional in the office. Our staff plays a vital role in our patients’ oral health. From the front office staff to the dental assistant, each team member carries out her responsibilities with dedication and professionalism. When you arrive at Gentle Family Dentistry, our front office staff greets you with a smile and ensures you feel comfortable. Given that many of our patients feel uncomfortable or even afraid of visiting the dentist, their role is essential. From there our dentist and dental assistants work hard to clean their patients’ teeth. For high-quality family dentistry in Asheville, NC, you can trust our team!
Amy
Dental Assistant
Amy grew up in Illinois and began her dental career in 1984. She continues to find daily fulfillment in serving patients with her vast skillset. Her wealth of experience is a wonderful asset to us, and we’re proud to have her on our dental team.
Amy looks forward to decorating for Christmas, her favorite holiday. She has seven grandkids and two dogs Beau and Ellee Mei, all of whom she loves to spoil!
Hannah
Dental Assistant
Hannah is our other treasured dental assistant, bringing enthusiasm and joy to our office every day. She’s earned numerous advanced qualifications during her time with us and is now a highly qualified DA II.
We lovingly refer to Hannah as Dr. Dolittle as she adds more farm animals to her family all the time – her lab Bo especially enjoys every new addition! Hannah was married Memorial Day weekend 2025, and we were all so honored to celebrate the start of her new family with her husband Tyler and beautiful daughter Kami.
Rebecca
Business Manager
Rebecca is our longest-serving team member and quickly moved up the ranks from front-desk coordinator to business manager. She has also pursued additional clinical certifications in recent years and thrives with her versatility in clinical and administrative skills. She ensures continuous, intricate coordination from the front of our practice to the back to provide the most seamless patient experience.
Rebecca enjoys paddle boarding, reading, and has recently immersed herself in crafting projects for local markets.
Madi
Front-Desk Coordinator
Madi is our front-desk coordinator and often the first voice and smile to greet you as you visit our practice. We’ve immensely enjoyed watching her rapidly flourish as an employee new to the dental world. Madi has gracefully embraced a whole new dental language and skillset – she will address any insurance questions you may have, help you plan necessary treatment, and ensure you leave with a smile!
Madi grew up in Arizona and moved to Asheville in December 2024 after graduating from Anderson University with a Bachelor in Clinical Psychology. She married her wonderful husband Josh on December 8th, and they have a sweet guinea pig named Oswald.
