My name is Crystal Graves, I am a native of the Adirondacks. I started my career in health care in 2005 at CVPH at the age of 19. I spent 15 years as a CNA and a Mental Health Tech, and fell in love with caring for people. In 2020, I began working for the ARC where I continued caring for people. I chose to become a Dental Assistant to continue helping others and what better way than to help them with their smile. I was so fortunate to be given an opportunity to work with Dr. Szmigiel and her amazing team, where patient care is put first with so much love and compassion. I am so happy to be part of the Gentle Touch team and help make a difference every day.
I raised my daughter McKayla as a single mother and enjoyed every minute watching her turn into a beautiful young woman. In 2016, I met my amazing partner Josh and have since built a wonderful life with him. In my free time, I enjoy riding side-by-side and snowmobiling in the beautiful Adirondacks. I also enjoy spending time with my loving family and my fur baby Stella.
