The team
The people who make a visit to Fleming Dental feel easy, from the front desk to the chair. Our Durham dental team brings warmth and real skill to every appointment.
Our Durham dental team
Dental Hygienist
Julie is a North Carolina native from Bahama. She started out studying business at UNC Greensboro before following her interest in art and science into dentistry, earning her dental assisting certificate in 2011. After five years working chairside, she went on to earn her Bachelor of Science in dental hygiene, with honors, from UNC Chapel Hill in 2018, where she received the Hu-Friedy Golden Scaler Award for exceptional skill. Julie is compassionate and steady, and she will make you feel comfortable from the moment you sit down. Outside the office, she lives in Durham with her husband, Cory, and their Labrador, Crash.
Dental Hygienist
Austin grew up in Charlotte and earned a public health degree at East Carolina University before completing her Bachelor of Science in dental hygiene at UNC Chapel Hill. Her real passion is helping people feel confident and cared for, and she has a special heart for treating patients with autism. She keeps up with continuing education each year so every patient gets thoughtful, current care. At home, Austin stays busy with her husband, Jordan, their two sons, Kash and Huntley, and their two Labradors, Mayson and Remi.
Dental Assistant
Casi is a Durham native who lives just north of town with her husband, Shane, their two children, two dogs, and a small menagerie of goats and hens. She came to dental assisting in 2024, trained at the Triangle School of Dental Assisting, after more than twenty years working closely with people in the service industry. That background shows: she loves talking with patients, teaching when she can, and learning something new every day. Away from the office, you will find her with her family, tending her plants, or building custom wood furniture with Shane.
Dental Assistant
Kara-Gray came to dentistry after more than a decade in education, where she taught, coached, and mentored students as a career counselor. Originally from High Point, she studied music education and early childhood education at North Greenville University. That range gives her a warm, patient, people-first way of working, and a real knack for making people feel looked after. Outside the office, she enjoys working out and time at home with her husband and their two cats, Meowceroni and Cheese.
patient care coordinator
Liz earned her BSBA from Appalachian State University, and her professional path also runs through education. Her years in the classroom sharpened her communication, organization, and problem-solving, and reinforced a genuine love of helping people learn, grow, and succeed. She brings that same compassionate, patient-centered approach to everyone who visits, with a focus on making each visit feel welcoming and comfortable from the start. Outside the office, Liz stays active at the gym, plans weddings and special events, takes on home improvement projects, and travels whenever she can, always with time for family and friends.
Read our Google reviews and the same words keep coming up: welcoming, comfortable, easy. That is the team’s doing. They care about the people who come in, and it shows.
