After school, Daphne came to Houston to begin her hygiene career and started working with Dr. Mann’s office in 1990, who was then located in the West Houston area. She stayed with the office when it moved to Sugar Land in 1995 and has enjoyed getting to know her patients and their families over her more than 20 years of service.
Daphne lives in the original part of Sugar Land with her husband. They raised a son and daughter in the area who are now grown with their own careers and families. Their son lives in the Dallas area with his wife and two sons. Their daughter lives close-by in one of the historic homes in Sugar Land allowing them time to explore the area together. Daphne enjoys Merry Ministries, reading historical fiction, gardening and hiking.
Daphne has attended numerous continuing education courses to keep her knowledge and understanding of current dental practices up to date. Daphne loves to give of her dental skills with others, traveling to Guatemala to provide dental care and locally volunteering with San Jose Clinic in the Medical Center of Houston.
Daphne is very proud of her long service at Mann Dental Care. She says, “It’s been easy coming to work every day! Where else can you share not only your knowledge but learn as well and continue to grow as a professional and a person!”
