Meet Our Dentists
Michael French, D.D.S.
Mikey French is a native of McGehee. He graduated from McGehee High School, and later received his Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. He is a proud alumni of Omicron Kappa Upsilon (OKU), a national dental honors society. Dr. French earned his dental Doctorate from the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry in Memphis in 2016. He joined Southeast Family Dentistry the same year. Since joining the practice, he has spent many hours in post-graduate education; bringing new techniques and cosmetic services to the office is a priority for him. He is married to Ali Pambianchi French; they will be joined by a new baby in 2018. When he isn’t busy helping people smile, Mikey loves to golf, hunt, farm and spend time with family and friends.
John Michael Lally, D.D.S.
Mike Lally is also a native of McGehee, and a graduate of McGehee High School. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Science from the University of Central Arkansas, and his dental Doctorate from the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry. In 1975, he returned to McGehee to join his father’s practice, and is seeing patients to this day. Dr. Lally loves all aspects of dentistry, but his passion is straightening teeth and giving patients a beautiful smile. Based on all the smiles he has improved over the years, you can see why he is incredibly popular with our patients! A dedicated family man, Dr. Lally and his wife Connie have two children: Megan (a hygienist) and John Michael, Jr. (a doctor specializing in nuclear medicine). When he has free time, he enjoys golfing and biking.

Lynn Edwards, Office Manager
Lynn has been with Southeast Family Dentistry since 1999.

They have two children: Chris and his wife Lesley, and Ryan and his wife Erica – and four wonderful grandchildren. Lynn likes sweet tea, loves to garden, and especially loves growing flowers.
Lindsey Wilson
Lindsey joined our office in 2016, ostensibly to help us control our insurance paperwork. She has helped us manage our technology and go paperless, along with taking wonderful care of patients by preparing for extensive treatment and braces by researching their benefits and creating treatment plans. Originally from Searcy, Lindsey is a graduate of Searcy High School. She attended Arkansas State University. She and her husband Cory (a farmer) have two boys: Taylor and Sawyer. It’s true; she would love to be able to take an uninterrupted nap…but in the meantime, Lindsey is busy working, taking care of her family, and getting in an occasional run.
Meet our Hygienists:
Stacy Terry-Prosser
Since 1999, Stacy has been gracing this practice with her humor and hard work. She’s a graduate of McGehee High School and attended the University of Arkansas at Monticello. Her husband Paul is the principal at McGehee Elementary, and they have four children: Megan (a registered nurse), Lauren (married to Jarred Barnes), Mary Catherine (a student at UAM) and Madyson (currently a second grader). Everyone that knows Stacy can attest to the fact that she loves to have fun! You can find her playing golf, riding her ATV and enjoying the great outdoors whenever she has free time.
Kem Haddock
Kem rejoined our practice in 2015 after several years away taking care of small children. We are fortunate to have her on our team!

They have two children: Merritt (currently attending the University of Central Arkansas) and Easton (who will graduate McGehee high school in 2017). It’s a good thing that Kem has a lot of energy, because her plate is full of church activities, civic volunteering, and keeping up with her active family.

Susie Powell
Yes, it’s common knowledge that Susie owns “Hoots”, our hometown restaurant. But before “Hoots”, there was our practice! Susie was an assistant here for many years. Now, she can be found working in our office for one day a month, on the day we do orthodontic adjustments. Susie is hardworking, funny and smart – all the things that make her a great entrepreneur. But she is extra special to our team for her dedicated service and love for our patients.
