Before Dr. Karen M. Crews, DMD, joined Beach View Family Dental as a general dentist, she worked in academic dentistry for years. With the support of her husband, sons, and family, she was encouraged to pursue this new path. “I couldn’t have done it without their constant love and support,” she says.
Her favorite thing about being a dentist is meeting families and serving the community she lives in.
And, of course, transforming smiles! “Our mission is to provide comprehensive oral health care,” Dr. Crews explains. “With that in mind we participate in oral cancer awareness activities along the Coast and in our office.”
“Know your worth!” Dr. Crews wants to tell young female entrepreneurs. “Strive for excellence and let your core values lead you! Be a servant leader; helping others to realize their dreams will propel your career too!”
Something people might not know about Dr. Crews
is that on her father’s side she is a fifth generation Mississippian, but her mother was from England. She considers her family to be one of her greatest successes, alongside having good friends that feel like family.
Dr. Loggan Malone Weihe, DMD was always interested in the sciences in school and knew from early on that she wanted to pursue some form of medicine. “Dentistry has allowed me to serve our community, establish long term relationships with my patients,
and provided a wonderful work-life balance,” she says. Dr. Weihe is a certified Jackson County Master
Gardener whose favorite hobby is gardening. She also enjoys giving back to the community via beautification and education. She can often be found enjoying local beaches with her nephews or husband, trying new restaurants and all thinLgOs GouOtdoors such as hiking, kayaking, pickleball, and learning to kite surf.
