Lacey
Practice Manager
I was born and raised in Western, WA and settled in over East years ago. I have had the pleasure of working in the dental field for over 10 years! My prior experience consisted of pediatric dentistry as well as oral surgery. I have worked several different positions during my time in the dental field and I am excited to share the knowledge I have with every kiddo that comes into Children’s Dentistry Northwest!
Outside of work, my time is best spent hiking, camping, and boating during the summer months. I’ll never say no to slowing down to enjoy reading a good book, attending a concert, or collecting vinyl records. All of my adventures include my two dogs (Scout & Nelli) and of course, my amazing husband!
Taerrah
Restorative Dental Hygienist
As a restorative hygienist for over 10 years exclusively for children, teens, and adults with special needs, my goal is to show my patients compassion and kindness, while bringing awareness to the importance of oral health. Having kids leave with a boost of confidence and a healthy smile is a joyful bonus! I received my A.A. from WVC, and my Bachelor’s degree in Dental Hygiene from Eastern Washington University.
My husband and I live in Waterville, and have two daughters. Outside of work, my happy place is spending time with my family, camping, photography, and cooking.
Lili
Patient Care Coordinator
Children always tend to make me laugh and smile, that’s why I truly love working here at Children’s Dentistry Northwest! I love that I get to spend time with your kiddos, see new faces everyday and hear their fun ideas and stories. My favorite part is being able to take kiddos on a tour of the office and meet the team!
I grew up with a big family and spending time with my family is very important to me, so I feel at home working here. I may not have kiddos of my own but I spend a lot of time with my nephews and nieces! It’s a blessing to work with an amazing team and such awesome patients. I cant wait to meet your kiddos soon and look forward to making their experience the best one yet!
Alex
Patient Care Coordinator
Hello friends,
I am so excited to meet all of you and very much looking forward to it. Here is a little something about myself, I have been part of the dental world for 3 years now in both adult and pediatric dentistry. I have always had the chance to work with kiddos due to my mom having a daycare since I was 5 years old.
On my spare time I enjoy cooking for my friends and family. Going out on walks with my husband. I also enjoy inviting friends over and having a friendly game of Uno and sequence. Although I am new to the office, you’ve definitely got a friend in me.
Lucy
Registered Dental Assistant
Hello, My name is Lucy! I was born Michoacán, Mexico but raised here in Wenatchee! I have been a dental assistant since 2010 and I have worked in various fields such as General Dentistry and Pediatrics. I enjoy working with kids and I love being able to provide them with a great experience at the dentist! In my free time I like to travel and go on long hikes with my kids.
Angelica
Registered Dental Assistant
I have been a part of the Children’s Dentistry Northwest family for over 2 years now. I am so grateful to have been trained in restorative and general anesthesia. I love having fun with all our patients and getting to know them as our family.
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family. I have a spunky 4-year-old that keeps me on my toes. I can’t wait to meet you and your children.
Diana
Registered Dental Assistant
I enjoy working with kids and being a dental assistant gives me the opportunity to spend time with them. I love being able to teach our patients about the importance of oral hygiene.
When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter exploring the outdoors, baking, and traveling. I love that at Children’s Dentistry Northwest, we always get to meet new kids, and with each one comes a new adventure. Working here has helped me to realize that I always want to work with children!
Jordan
Registered Dental Assistant
I have been a dental assistant for 10 years and have experience in pediatric and general dentistry. Creating a positive dental experience for children is the most rewarding thing about working in pediatrics.
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my two sons and my husband! I enjoy crafting, boating, and even a lazy movie day every now then!
Erika
Registered Dental Assistant
I love working with kids of all ages. I have been a dental assistant for about 4 years now and have been working at Children’s Dentistry Northwest for all four years. Love being able to give proper dental education to our patients and their families. I will treat your kids as if they are my very own. Not only do I love my job, but I love the people I get to work with as well.
I have 3 amazing boys that I get the opportunity to travel with for all their soccer tournaments and games. My boys are current patients that love coming to see their dentist. Every day is a great new adventure for me!
Jasmine
Registered Dental Assistant
I have been a dental assistant for about 2 years now. I have worked in both adult and pediatric dentistry. When I am not working, I enjoy being around animals and dog-sitting for friends and family. My love for children started when I was a nanny. I realized then that I really appreciate and feel fulfilled when working with kids. It is rewarding being able to see children leave our office with big smiles on their faces.
Although I have not worked here very long, I used to be a patient here myself and I loved coming to the dentist! I am glad we can make a difference not only in our patients’ lives but in each other’s as well. I look forward to what the future holds for me here at Children’s Dentistry Northwest.
Lisa
Registered Dental Assistant
I have been working in the field of dentistry for 23 years. I can honestly say that each day has been a joy. I love being silly with my kids. I love making them smile. Whether it’s asking them if they brought me a pickle, or a cup of coffee, just to see that look of surprise on their faces and break the tension it’s what I do best! I love being able to teach a parent and child about what’s going on in their mouth starting at a young age and watch them take that education and grow into young adulthood. It gives me great pride to see “my kids” grow up cavity free!
Outside of the office, I like to read a good mystery, golf, and visit with family. There is something magical about seeing a patient who is nervous for their first visit and hearing them tell their parent at the end of their appointment that they don’t want to leave. In my heart then I know I’ve done my job well. I also am loving being a grandma to my 2 wonderful grandbabies.
Ana
Registered Dental Assistant
Hola,
I was born and raised in California but Wenatchee is my home. Mother of 2 amazing young adults, and the best part is I’m a grandma “nana” to my two handsome grandbaby boys. We enjoy our family time anywhere and everywhere.
Every day as a dental assistant is so rewarding. I love being able to explain and walk through every step with my patients. 23 years doing what I love. Rest assure your children will be taken care of in gentle and loving ways, as we all treat our patients as if they were our own.
Leslie
Registered Dental Assistant
Growing up I’ve always wanted to be in the dental field. Especially in Pediatrics, I really enjoy being around children. Having those lovely moments and helping them learn all about the importance of their teeth and oral health. My plan is to expand my knowledge in the dental field and become a dental hygienist. I was born and raised in Leavenworth.
When I’m not working, what I really enjoy doing is spending time with the people I love most. Other than spending time with family, I enjoy watching all Disney movies over & over, painting, reading, hiking, trying new things, my favorite sport is basketball
