Dr. Barker has a genuine heart and respect for her staff and patients. She plans on practicing dentistry in this community into her VERY DISTANT retirement! Dr. Barker and the 32 Pearls Staff sincerely welcome you, as we do family, to your new dental home.

Dr. Barker put a lot of thought into the design of her dental practice in Granger. Her goals included being family friendly, inviting, efficient and up to date. She was able to achieve her desired look for the office, that helps put patients and their families at ease.

Dr. Barker loves staying updated with the latest techniques, the most state of the art equipment and technology. The office goal is to provide quality treatment in the most relaxing environment possible.

Her dedication to both the dental profession and education gave her the motivation to open an independent office. Her desire for state of the art equipment and passion to give back to the community landed her a feature cover story in a very well known dental magazine, PATTERSON TODAY, shortly after opening in 2010. Since then, the office has grown and so has her family.
