My name is Lisa Lowther, and I am a Registered Dental Hygienist. I graduated from Carrington College in San Jose in 2012. The Monterey Peninsula has been my home for my entire life. My passion for dentistry was inspired by my father, who is a dentist. Before becoming a hygienist, I worked as a Registered Dental Assistant for over 20 years in both general dentistry and orthodontics.

In my free time, I enjoy cooking, baking, spending time with my family, and hanging out with my 4-pound Yorkie named Dezi. I have a son who works as a caddy at Pebble Beach. I feel very blessed to have joined the amazing team at Carmel Family Dental, and I look forward to providing the best care for my patients!
