OuR fabulous team

Transcript:

Been in the Albany-Corvallis area my entire life. My family's been here forever. And my dad was a dentist and so growing up, to be honest, like, I wasn't sure that dentistry was actually something I wanted to do because I kinda wanted to just do something different than my dad. But over the course of, you know, growing up around the office and getting into college, I would often go with him to various, like, dental conventions and courses and things like that and I just realized how fascinated I was with dentistry and just the ability to work with people.

Like, I always knew I wanted a job that I had people, you know, that I could work with. Like, I didn't wanna have, like, kind of a solo type, be by myself type career. Seeing the combination of science, which I loved, science and the technology, and then being able to, like, use that to help serve and help people, I just thought I was just naturally in tune with wanting to do that.

My main passion in what I do, I guess, is that I get to work with people. You know, we have patients that range from, you know, very young to great, even great, great grandparents, and so, there's a lot of different stages of life and there's a lot of different needs. We certainly have patients that come in to see us that have great oral health, and they're just looking for a team to help support that. But we also have people that come in that have not had, you know, maybe good access to dentistry or various life circumstances or medical conditions. A lot of times those people feel, you know, embarrassed of their oral health or they feel like they've been judged, whether it be, like, in the work setting or applying for a job or even, you know, frankly at other dental offices.

The biggest thing that matters to me in our practice is having a team of people that, like, genuinely care about the people that are coming in. And the patients that we work with, like, all of our guests can get a hold of me personally if they wanna talk to me, I'm in it. I'm invested in them to help make sure I can help, you know, the person accomplish their own goals.
