Tamara – Registered Dental Assistant
As a dental assistant for Dr. Doug, I work chairside during all procedures and take X-rays and photos. I especially love working with children. They are always so excited to share their day, and they love learning. All of the patient interaction really makes it worth it. I am married with three sons and have two dogs. When I am not in the office, I enjoy walking the dogs and spending time with my family.
Eva – Dental Assistant
I work as a dental assistant, taking X-rays, sterilizing instruments, ordering supplies, and working with patients during procedures. I believe in pleasing our patients with kindness. They deserve the best care we can offer. I have two children, five grandchildren, a dog, and a squirrel. I am involved in the women’s ministry at my church, and I love horseback riding, bike riding, and enjoying life.
Pat – Front Office
I am the first smiling face patients see when they enter. I work at the front desk, answering phones and scheduling appointments. I like our patients, and we treat them like family. My husband, Larry, and I have three daughters who have given us three grandsons. In my free time, I read, cook, and travel. I have been a die-hard 49ers season ticket holder since 1970!
Jennifer – Treatment Coordinator
I set up treatment plans for our patients as well as schedule appointments and billing. It makes me feel really good about myself when I am able to give our patients the optimal financial plan for their budget. They are so thankful, and I enjoy working with them. I love spending time with my daughter, Marian. I enjoy hiking, gardening, and volunteering at the local food bank.
Marlene – Registered Dental Hygienist
I am a dental hygienist, so I perform teeth cleanings and educate patients on how to best care for their smiles. My goal is to be instructive and caring while our patients are in the chair. Patient comfort is important to me. My husband, Mike, and I have one son named Kevin and two dogs named Gordo and Chico. I spend my free time watching Spanish TV and participating in obedience training classes for dogs.
Sarah – Registered Dental Hygienist
I enjoy working as a dental hygienist. Our patients love to learn proper oral care, and they become like family to us. Both of our doctors are wonderful at collaborating with the whole team to guarantee the brightest, happiest smiles we can. My husband of 19 years and I have two sons, Steven and Jason, and a spoiled terrier named Troy. I treasure the time I get to spend with my family. I also like reading, walking, traveling, and cheering for my sons at their games.
