Karen Scharf

Office Manager

Shortly after high school a previous owner of our dental practice, Dr. Steve Illig asked me if I would be interested in working at this office as a receptionist and dental assistant. In the forty years since I have enjoyed watching the families we serve grow with each generation. It has been a pleasure to see children in our practice grow into parents themselves. I continue today as the office manager, and look forward to continuing to serve the community of Ellicottville with a friendly, family-oriented atmosphere that provides quality dental service. I am married with 3 daughters who have grown and now have three grandchildren. I love spending time with family, taking care of our dogs cats and goats, and spending time outdoors gardening.
