Our Dental Support Team

Mary Anne Blackwood
Mary Anne Blackwood moved back to the Philadelphia area with her family after 10 years of living overseas where her husband’s job had taken them. With a middle school, high school and college student at the time, she realized she wanted another challenge – go to work!
Since she had past experience volunteering in a children’s dental clinic in Miami, she sought and found an opening in Paoli with Dr. Rick Koup’s office. The rest is history!
For more than 25 years she’s been assisting Dr. Koup chairside, working with insurance companies to process claims, acting as office manager, easing patient’s anxiety, answering questions about treatment/costs and, in some cases, a good place to eat. Mary Anne can attest to challenges a plenty and different services every day!
Family located across the U.S. and locally keep her busy. Military dental screening events are also on her schedule. She loves reading, spending time with her dog and grandchildren, and catching up with friends.
