Holli Becker - LDH
After graduating from K.V.C.C., Holli interviewed with Dr. Snyder in 2000 and has been with the office ever since! Her passion for dentistry began in fifth grade when she started orthodontia with Dr. Roberts, also from Elkhart. She always looked forward to visiting the office and staff. Her passion is and will always be patient comfort, patient education, and honesty. Her belief is that honesty is the key to any relationship. Holli wants what everyone deserves: a happy and healthy smile.
Holli married her college sweetheart, Ian. Originally from Goshen (Ian is from Kalamazoo), we moved back to the area to be close to family. We have two beautiful children: our daughter, Rhiannon and our son, Broghan. We also have a "third" child, Sookie, our Malti-poo.
