Doreen Weber, RDH
I have been a hygienist for 34 years, and have worked for Dr. Blackhurst for since 2014. My husband, Brett, works in the banking industry and we have two adult boys. One lives in Bozeman and the other here in Missoula.
I enjoy hiking with our Boxer named Brody, kayaking, 4-wheeling, skiing - and really anything outside. We spend as much time as possible at our lake cabin where we always seem to have a project ( or a fish that needs to be caught! ). I also love to cook and travel.
