About Us
Our Mission
At Hull & Appel Family Dentistry we go one step further than just guaranteeing healthy teeth; we genuinely care about every single patient who walks through our door. There is a reason why our patients remain a part of our practice for life, and why we work with many of our patients’ families. We form relationships with each and every one of our patients so you know you and your loved ones will be taken care of in any emergency.
But it’s not just the emergencies we want to be there for; we want to be there for your biggest smiles as well. We enjoy being able to celebrate milestones with our patients, and we feel lucky whenever we are a part of our patients’ lives. Seeing a patient’s first adult tooth is always an exciting moment in our line of work, and is just as exciting as seeing a patient’s first smile after receiving some restorative work. We take pride in our work so that you can take pride in your smile.
Our Pledge to You
We pledge to always be there for you during every check up, every rehabilitative and restorative procedure, and for every up and down of your oral health. We pledge to always provide a first-rate experience every time you step through our door. Whether you are coming in for a routine check-up or have a specific issue we can address, we hope that you always leave our office with a smile.

At Hull and Appel we don’t have a “staff,” we have a team of experienced oral health professionals who are committed to improving and maintaining your oral health. Learn more about our dentists and the rest of our wonderful team who will bring your brightest smile to life.
Dr. Heather Appel

Dr. Appel is currently serving on the board of the Ohio State Dental Alumni Society as well as maintaining membership in the American Dental Association, Ohio Dental Association, and Columbus Dental Society.
Dr. Appel enjoys her role as a mother and enjoys sports, traveling, and spending time with her family. She began cycling in 2013 and participates in Pelotonia each summer to raise money for cancer research. Dr. Appel resides in Worthington with her husband, Jeff, and their 2 children.
Dr. Kellye McGlumphy Mastruserio
Dr. Kellye McGlumphy grew up in the Columbus area and attended Upper Arlington High School. Her interest in the dental field was sparked at a young age, as both of her parents are dentists. After completing her undergraduate degree in Movement Science at the University of Michigan, Dr. Kellye obtained her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the Ohio State University College of Dentistry.
During her time at OSU, she served as a student team dentist for the athletic department and was awarded the Carl O. Boucher Outstanding Student in Prosthodontics award. She is a member of the American Dental Association, Ohio Dental Association, and the Columbus Dental Society.
When not in the office, Dr. Kellye enjoys expanding and listening to her vinyl record collection, baking, and spending time at her family cabin in Hocking Hills. She loves to get out in the community and try new restaurants; so, please don’t hesitate to pass along a recommendation!
Dr. Elizabeth Caton
Dr. Elizabeth Caton, originally from Crooksville, OH, joined our practice in October 2005. She was a classmate of Dr. Appel’s, graduating from the Ohio State University College of Dentistry in the summer of 2002. She received her undergraduate degree in Life Sciences from Otterbein College in 1998. Following graduation from dental school, Dr. Caton served in the United States Navy for three years. She was stationed at the Marine Corps recruit depot on Parris Island, SC., and at the Marine Corps air station at Cherry Point, NC.
Dr. Caton has greatly enjoyed the addition of CEREC® technology to the practice. In addition, she loves to “sculpt” a smile, whether that means filling a tooth back to its natural shape and form or creating a more esthetic smile line in the front teeth. She appreciates the opportunity to help our patients live a healthy and comfortable life from a dental perspective.
Outside of the office, Dr. Caton enjoys spending time with her husband, Josh and their eight children. As a family, music, theater and other are some of their favorite pastimes.
