Monica Hall
Greetings Coordinator
Monica started the year off with us in January of 2024. She comes to us with years of customer service. Right out of college she was hired as a lead singer for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. Royal gave her skills to be able to work with people from all walks of life. She was able to travel and explore the world while doing what she loves. She has also had the pleasure of working at Spa’s and Salon’s, where she enjoyed getting pampered for half the price. While she loved the Spa environment, she was looking for a place that could still let her sing on the weekends and work during the week. A plus to the job, is that she is great with kids. She loves getting to see all the kids come in, and always wants to make them smile. When she is not at work, she is performing with her band or duo around town. She also loves to spend time with her friends and family.
Our daughter started her ortho treatments at the age of 7 so she was extremely scared of the entire process but the Victor Smiles staff have all been so patient, caring and just incredible with her. She’s been going to them since they first opened and I wouldn’t have her go anywhere else. We’ve only had great experiences with every staff member and her ortho process has gone so smoothly!

Not a big review guy but this was one of the most positive experiences I’ve ever had during a medical related event. From the staff on the phone, the front desk staff, and the doctor herself we were greeted with kindness, attention, and care during our sons tongue/lip tie corrective procedure. Victor smiles is a breath of fresh air when it comes to the medical world. Thank you again.
- Ben C.
We drove almost an hour to see Dr. Mapes and she was all we could have hoped for and more. My son is 5 months and she couldn’t have been sweeter with him. She is so knowledgeable, kind, respectful, and attentive. We were very nervous for our son to have his lip tie fixed and she was the best person for the job. I can’t say enough positive things about her and all of the staff at Victor Smiles.
- Kimberly M.
I can’t say enough good things about the staff! So patient and don’t push kids outside of their comfort level but allows them to open up to new idea through hands-on teachings and knowledge!
- Paige H.
Went in for my consultation, and they have the most wonderful, friendly staff. I felt very comfortable, Dr. Mike lays it all out with a clear understanding of the process. I look forward to my next visit!
- Alex G.
My son has severe anxiety, especially when it comes to situations that are new to him. The staff at Victor Smiles was amazing! They explained everything to him before they did it and made him so comfortable. He loves it there, and so do I!
- Wendy S.
Absolutely amazing! This was my 4-year-old daughter's first dentist appointment and she felt so comfortable, excited and they explained everything to her and made her feel so at ease and comfortable in the chair. They are awesome with kiddos and made it a successful dentist visit with no anxiety for my child whatsoever. My daughter is so excited to come back at her next appointment with Victor Smiles! Such an awesome team!
- Bekah M.
Victor Smiles is wonderful! They talk the kids through the whole process, make sure they're comfortable throughout, and do an all-around amazing job. My 7-year-old needed braces due to congenitally missing incisors, and the staff at Victor Smiles have been a joy to work with. This stressful process has been a very positive one for my nervous daughter, and she actually enjoys going! Highly recommend!!
