Stacy V., Front Office Manager It all starts with Stacy, our office manager and the friendly face of Hoag & Dotsch. Stacy is like no other: knowledgeable, friendly and fun. With five years in the dental field, she handles scheduling, insurance, treatment plans, and financing options, all with a smile. “Our mission is to treat everyone as though they are friends and family, which is easy to do considering we have such amazing patients,” she explains. A native of New York City, Stacy relocated to the Edmonds area where she met her husband, and is the proud mom of four beautiful children.

Lee R., Dental Hygenist The last thing a patient wants from a visit to the dentist is a lecture from their hygienist. Lee knows this only too well. “My role”, she says, “is to provide dental hygiene services while coaching patients to prevent disease and maintain the health of their mouths and bodies.” Is she qualified to coach? With extensive experience in the dental field, her awards include Southern California Dental Hygienist Association Clinician Award, Washington State Dental Hygiene Association Legislator of the Year, former president of the Greater Seattle Dental Hygiene Association, and former trustee to the Washington State Dental Hygienists' Association. Lee and her husband have called Ballard home for the last 13 years. When not at work, she enjoys remodeling her home, sailing, gardening, and “encouraging my husband to floss daily,” she says with a laugh. |

Sally P., Dental Assistant With more than nine years of experience in the dental field, Sally knows what a difference her role makes to the comfort and relaxation of patients. As she is often the first person to see the patient, her warm and caring smile instantly puts them at ease. "Smiling is easy when you work with such wonderful patients," she explains. In addition to assisting the doctors chair side, Sally is responsible for patient x-rays, sterilization, and ensuring the operatories are ready for the next patient. Away from the office, Sally keeps busy with her husband and two sons, and enjoys photography and stretching her vocal chords performing Karaoke with her friends! |
