Keisha has been a dental assistant since 1997, graduating from Tallahassee Community College’s first dental assisting class. She has been a valuable member of the Bastien Dental team for over 10 years. In addition to her career in dentistry, she is an older sister to two brothers, a wife, and a mother to five children (and two bonus kiddos). In her free time, she enjoys long walks with her yellow lab, Kane, gardening, and geeking out over Star Wars and DC superheroes—her favorite characters are The Flash, Green Arrow, and Darth Vader.

As passionate as she is about the force within, she also takes just as much pride in her role in the office, helping to ensure patients are comfortable and happy, walking out with dazzling smiles.

Hi, I’m Ashley, a proud Mobile, Alabama native, raised on soul food homemade recipes, strong family values, and the culture of Mardi Gras. My childhood was rooted on attending Church and bible studies which still influences the way I live and work today.

My senior year of high school, I moved to Tallahassee, Florida, where I graduated from Godby High School. After graduation, I attended Tallahassee Community College and pursued my passion for dentistry by completing the Dental Assisting program. Today, I proudly work as a dental assistant, bringing warmth, compassion, and Southern hospitality to every patient I care for. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, spending quality time with my family, and relaxing at home with my stubborn but lovable cat, Chewy.

Christi Justice joined Bastien Dental Care in March of 2023 and brings over 20 years of experience in the dental field. She is a graduate of Tallahassee Community College and has worked across multiple specialties, including pediatrics, orthodontics, endodontics, and general dentistry. Christi’s goal in her dental career is to ensure every patient feels safe, informed, and most importantly, comfortable and entertained.

She believes a positive dental experience goes beyond treatment, and she hopes each patient leaves the office feeling more like a friend than just a patient. Outside of the office, Christi enjoys spending time with her perfect dog, Lily Mae. When she’s not with Lily, you can often find her with friends, enjoying the many events and activities Tallahassee and the surrounding areas have to offer.

Born and raised in Quincy, Florida on Lake Talquin, Christi spent her summers on Lake Mystic in Liberty County and her winters on her family’s hunting property in Gadsden County. She graduated from Florida High in Tallahassee and holds the Big Bend community close to her heart, as it is where many of her greatest memories were made.
