Kathy Boyd
RDH - Dental Hygienist
Kathy brings over 25 years of experience to May Dentistry, where she has been providing exceptional dental hygiene care since 2019. With her comprehensive education from the University of Central Florida and Palm Beach State College, she combines clinical expertise with a genuine passion for patient relationships.
What Kathy values most about her role is the opportunity to connect with patients on a personal level.

Family remains the center of Kathy's world outside the office. She finds her greatest joy in activities that involve spending quality time with loved ones, whether planning family gatherings or supporting her family members' endeavors.
A fun linguistic quirk that patients might notice during their appointments—Kathy has a unique fascination with homonyms (words that sound alike but have different meanings and spellings). Don't be surprised if she points out an interesting word pair during your next visit!
Lisa Beach
RDH - Dental Hygienist
Lisa Beach brings over three decades of experience and a genuine passion for patient care to her role as dental hygienist at May Dentistry.
After earning her Bachelor of Arts in public relations from Loyola University in New Orleans, Lisa followed her childhood dream. She returned to school to study dental hygiene at Palm Beach State College. Her interest in the dental field began right here in North Palm Beach, where, as a young patient, she admired the dental hygienist's professional independence and patient care routine at Dr. Berry's practice—the very location where she now works.
Since graduating in 1992, Lisa has devoted herself to improving patients' oral health with skill and compassion. What she values most about her profession is building relationships of trust with her patients and witnessing the positive changes in their oral health with each visit.
When not caring for patients, Lisa embraces Florida's natural beauty by collecting seaglass along the shore, boating in local waters, and exercising outdoors. She also enjoys hiking in the mountains during her travels. At home, she finds joy spending time with her beloved cats. Lisa's faith is important to her, and she treasures quiet moments in her church's adoration chapel.
Many patients might be surprised to learn that Lisa was once an accomplished equestrian who rode and showed her Arabian horse throughout Florida and in national competitions.
