Dr. Martinsen enjoys problem solving, a skill that led him to his first career as an Engineer. As a dentist he is most fulfilled when helping solve his patients dental related problems such as fear of the dentist, embarrassment with smiling, or pain or difficulty while eating.
When Dr. Martinsen is not at the clinic he can be found wrestling his 3 young children, mountain biking the beautiful trails of WNC, or building projects with his family.
Dr. Robert Busey, DDS Dentist

Kelley Beard
Hygienist
Kelley received her Associates degree in Applied Science of Dental Hygiene in 1992. She has since spent most of her career in public health treating geriatric patients as well as those with intellectual/developmental disabilities.
What she enjoys most about being a hygienist is seeing a persons smile change for the better through education and treatment. Sometimes those healthy changes are only seen by her but are often the most rewarding.
When she is not in the clinic she enjoys shopping, working outdoors and real estate. Most of all, she enjoys being a wife and mom to her three kids.
