Keri

Kathy
Certified Dental Assistant
Kathy has been a dental assistant since 1982 and has been with the dental office since 1989. Over the years, she has enjoyed the opportunity to truly build relationships with our patients. In fact, she has the unique ability to put the patients at ease and dispel the notion that a visit to the dentist is tedious or scary. Kathy’s job involves taking X-rays and impressions, assisting the dentist, and making our patients’ visits as enjoyable as possible.
Kathy says: “The quality of dentistry that we do is great—our patients deserve the best and that’s what they get! I love working with people and making them feel comfortable when they are apprehensive.”
Fun fact about Kathy: “I love camping. People think I’m too ‘frilly’ to camp, but I love to hike, cook over the campfire, and sleep in a tent.”

Whether she’s scheduling treatment that’s compatible with busy schedules or sitting down one-on-one to go over treatment plans, she prides herself on being a valuable resource. “In the time I have been with the dental office, the staff and patients have me feel like one of the family,” she says. “I couldn’t have picked a better group of people to work with!”
