Susan has been in dentistry since 1985 and this current office since April 1998. She has developed so many friendships and bonds through that time and enjoys seeing everyone smile.

 In her free time she enjoys doing projects around her home and yard, gardening, walking her spunky boxer dogs and spending time with family, especially her adorable grandson.

LINDA

Linda was born and raised in Washington state where she graduated from Stadium High School. Linda attended Clover Park Technical College to complete her degree in Dental Office Administration.

When she was 16, dentistry happened to find her when she was asked to help a local dentist with their scheduling system. After successfully helping patients schedule visits to receive quality care and working with the dental team, she confidently knew dentistry was the career she would grow to love.

When Linda is outside of the office, and the weather allows, you can find her hiking and rock hunting. When Linda is at home she enjoys working on her yard and loves remodeling.

 

Assistants

 

Bibi, CDA, RDA

Bibi has always been a Seattle native prior to moving to Tacoma, WA. She graduated from the Seattle Vocational Institute to begin her career in dental assisting.

Bibi had always enjoyed visiting her family dentist growing up. When the opportunity to become a dental assistant arose she did not have to think twice about starting her journey. Bibi enjoys helping build confidence in her patience through healthy smiles.

When Bibi is not with her patients, you can find her spending time with her family enjoying relaxing leisure when life allows with an adorable little one and nice hikes around the area.

KAREN, CDA, RDA

Karen was born and raised in Southern California but has called Washington state her home for the past 15 years. In 2014 she graduated from Everest College and began her career as a dental assistant.

Karen enjoys providing exceptional care for her patients and especially enjoys helping fearful patients get through their dental appointments. Watching, once anxious, patients return to a much more relaxed mindset and leaving with laughs and a big smile makes dentistry very rewarding for her.

When Karen is away from her patients, she enjoys cooking, shopping and spending time with her family and young one.

 

Jesica, RDA

Jesica grew up in Kapowsin, WA. After graduating high school she attended Everest Community College for dental assisting. She has worked within dentistry ever since.

Dentistry was an easy choice for Jesica as she loves connecting with patients and getting to know their families. Jesica is currently taking classes to continue her dental education and will be soon applying to dental hygiene programs.

During her free time, you can hear Jesica rooting for all the Seattle sports teams with her husband. Go Mariners!

 

Hygiene

 

Jeanine, RDH

Jeanine spent her childhood in Golden Colorado which is the proud home of the Coors Brewing Company. She graduated from Golden High School and completed her dental hygiene training at the Community College of Denver/Lowry. In 2018, she moved to the Pacific Northwest and landed in Tacoma, WA.

Jeanine loves working with people. As a dental hygienist, she loves interacting with and educating her patients on maintaining healthy teeth rather than lecturing. Her goal is to provide a thorough gentle cleaning and hopefully share some laughs with her patients along the way.

Since moving to the Pacific Northwest, Jeanine enjoys gardening. She notes it is much easier to keep plants green in this state. Otherwise, when our area is graced with sunny days, you can bet she is outside enjoying the weather!

ERIN, RDH

Erin spent her early childhood on a farm in Wilkeson, WA and later moved close to the Columbia River in White Salmon, WA.

Erin was originally trained as a massage therapist, but due to a shoulder injury, she was prompted to seek another career path. Under the guidance and mentorship of her dentist, who offered to train her to become an assistant, she had found a career she truly enjoyed. After 6 years of dental assisting she decided to become a dental hygienist. As a continual learner and an advocate for oral health awareness, she has plans to continue her studies by pursuing a Masters in Public Health.

During her free time, Erin enjoys the Pacific Northwest Outdoors through local hikes and camping. Fishing is also a part of Erin's life, whether that is Bass fishing in Florida or spending time on the Columbia River during salmon season. Otherwise, when she is indoors, tabletop games and dinner parties with friends are always a go to.
