Welcome our new staff dentists and assistants!

We have completed about 90% of the renovations to the new office we affectionately refer to as BB2.  That stands for Big Baby #2!  Our original office is BB1 of course.  We still have some work to do but we are now using three operatories in BB2.  Now that we have more space, we hired Dr. Patana to help out temporarily on Fridays.   He has been delighted to reunite with old friends at the office.

We also hired Dr. Coyne.  He recently moved from Ruidoso, New Mexico with his wife and son.  They are excited to be in the area and to start exploring, especially the bike trails.  Dr. Coyne has more than 13 years of experience and will be a great addition to the office.

To help out the doctors, we went through an extensive search for dental assistants.  We interviewed so many fabulous candidates that it was difficult to choose only a couple of them.  In the end, we decided to hire Tami Haines and Kiley Samora.  Later in January, Linda Odell will also be joining our team.  Tami is new to the area and enjoys her new found activity of rock climbing.  She previously worked with oral surgeons and is happy to back in the dental field.  Kiley is a local and aspires to be a dental hygienist.  She will be with us part time as she finishes her pre-requisite classes and prepares for dental hygiene school in Fall 2017.

We hope to have most of the renovations completed by next summer.  In the meantime, we welcome you to the office to meet our new staff.  We are going through the transition the best we can without causing any disruptions to our wonderful patients.  We will continue to provide you the same great service we strive to with compassion and with precision.  Happy holidays.
