Meet Your Doctor
A Southern Illinois native, Dr. Vasquez practiced nine years in St. Louis before coming home to Herrin in 2020 to open Brightpath for the patients other offices rush: the anxious, the overdue, and the very small.
Patient Stories
Most new patients arrive saying the same thing: “I know, it's been too long.”
“I avoided dentists for six years out of pure fear. Dr. Vasquez never made me feel bad about it — she just fixed things, gently.”
— Denise R., Herrin“My daughter used to cry in the parking lot. Now she asks when her next visit is because of the prize box.”
— Josh M., Marion“They told me the full cost of my implant before we started, and that was exactly what I paid. First time that's ever happened.”
