OUR STAFF

Elizabeth Tauzin

Hi, my name is Elizabeth Tauzin. I am married to my wonderful husband Jude, and we have two sons, Jackson and Emile. I began working at Dr. Malone’s office as a hygiene assistant working with my mom who is a full-time hygienist at Dr. Malone’s. As I grew up around people focused on complete oral health and dentistry, I knew that following in my mom’s footsteps would be the way for me. Since I worked as a hygiene assistant here, I knew that this was the kind of practice I dreamed of working for. The amazing and friendly staff, and Dr. Malone’s talent as a cosmetic dentist, makes every day something to look forward to. I graduated from LSU School of Dentistry in New Orleans in dental hygiene and I am now employed as a full-time hygienist here with my mom. I am actively involved in the American Dental Hygiene Association on national, state, and local levels along with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

Billy Malone

My name is Billy Malone. I am the Business Manager for Mike Malone, DDS and Associates. I like to travel and enjoy movies, music, and fishing in my spare time. I graduated from Louisiana State University in 1999 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing. I am responsible for the marketing and financial aspects of the practice. In addition, I am the network administrator for a seventeen computer small area network within the practice. With this network of computers we are able to offer our patients the most up to date dental technology including digital x-rays, intra oral video cameras and digital photography and presentations. I also assist Dr. Malone in preparing all digital presentations for his many lectures. Overall, I enjoy seeing our patients get the best dental care available and having the beautiful smiles to prove it!

Brittni Broussard

My name is Brittni Broussard. I grew up in Lafayette and now reside in Duson. I have a one-year-old daughter, Bryleigh Rae. We enjoy swimming and playing outdoors together. Growing up, I always wanted to be a part of the dental field. I attended The Acadiana Area Dental College and became a certified dental assistant. In 2007, I joined Dr. Malone’s team as a hygiene assistant. Dr. Malone later encouraged me to further my education, and this is how I became an Expanded Duty Dental Assistant. When Dr. Foreman joined our team in 2008, I became her chair side assistant. Then in 2009, Dr. McCardell joined our practice, and I began assisting her as well. We all work together to provide our patients with the best general dentistry possible, and our passion is to make your smile healthy.

My dental career with Dr. Malone started in 2004 as a hygiene assistant. I am now currently a chair side dental assistant with Dr. Malone. The most rewarding part of my job is giving our patients a smile they can be proud of. Our well rounded team makes the practice/patient relationship a unique experience. I enjoy the person to person relations we establish with our patients. At Dr. Malone’s you are not just a patient, you are a friend.

My name is Charmen Melancon. I am the hygiene assistant for Dr. Malone and Associates. Most of my day is spent meeting patients and getting to know them personally.
