Meet the Staff
Denise | Guest Experience Coordinator
Hello! I’m Denise and I am your Guest Experience Coordinator. I am the first person to welcome you as you walk into our office and the last person to bid you farewell. I am happy to assist you with any scheduling, insurance, or financial questions you may have. For our out of town guests needing help making travel arrangements, it would be my pleasure to assist you in that matter also. If there is anything our team can do to make your experience in our office more comfortable, please do not hesitate to let me know. I am here to help!
I have over 25 years of experience in the dental field in both general and specialty practices. Starting as a Registered Dental Assistant, I have worked in many areas throughout the dental office from the larger practice to smaller, guest oriented ones. I have always loved working in the dental field and enjoy being part of a practice where our patients and their oral health is the number one priority.
I have made the bay area my home for the past 43 years. I am the mother of five and the grandmother of five. My wonderful husband and I love to vacation in Las Vegas and we travel there as often as possible. I love to cook and enjoy trying out new recipes so please feel free to share your favorites with me!
I truly enjoy what I do and look forward to seeing you at your next visit!
Cathy | Hygienist
I am the team member you will see most regularly for cleanings. As an extended member of our dental family, your oral health is of utmost importance to me.
I’ve been passionate about dentistry since I was a child and my education reflects this passion. I have a B.S. degree in Biology from C.S.U.S. and nearly six years of dental experience. Building upon my career as a Registered Dental Assistant, I am able to understand your needs from many different perspectives. I also have completed advanced training in soft tissue curretage and root planing and keep current with the latest in education and technology through my memberships in the American Dental Hygienists Association, California Dental Hygienists Association, and Mt. Diablo Hygiene Association.
I am originally from Michigan and have lived in Sacramento and L.A. but feel privileged to call Walnut Creek my home for the past 3 years. I enjoy all that the east bay has to offer, particularly hiking. Feel free to share your favorite hiking spots! I also enjoy going to live theater, traveling (N.Y., Connecticut, Puerto Rico, to name a few), and spending time with family and friends.
I look forward to learning more about you and providing you with a level of dental care that is unparalleled.
