Cindy F.
Dental Hygienist
I enjoy being part of my patients’ journey of overcoming their fear of dentistry. I love working with all ages and being touched by each person. I have become a better person because of my patients. As a hygienist, I help my patients understand the “why” of dental care. By explaining dental disease, and why it’s important to keep one’s mouth healthy, I empower my patients. I teach them the best ways to brush and floss, and about healthy eating and good habits.
Away from work, you’ll often find me in my garden: gardening is cheap therapy and doubles as my gym. I have three kids: my husband, daughter, and son. They keep me on my toes!
Terrie-Ann
Registered Hygienist
As a dental hygienist, my goal is to change my patients’ lives through better oral health. I love seeing the improvements that happen when patients implement new knowledge into their daily oral habits. Small changes can make such a big difference in oral health! I also really enjoy working with Dr. Chelsea and our team. Each person in our office has genuine care and concern for our patients’ health.
I am married to a remarkable husband, Darryl. Our blended family of three children and three grandchildren is spread from coast to coast. We also have two rescue dogs named Bently and Elle. I love quilting and enjoy expanding my fabric collection.
Laura
Operations Manager
I started my career in the dental field in 2007 as a registered dental assistant then moved my way up to working in the front office. Here at Juanita Family Dentistry, I work hard to build relationships with our patients while helping with all their scheduling and accounting needs. The Juanita Family Dentistry staff are like my extended family. I enjoy coming to work every day to get to spend time working with such smart and caring group. We work well together to achieve our common goal of creating a warm and inviting office for our patients.
When I’m not in the office, I enjoy walking my dog Lola, gardening, and doing construction on my home.
Jenny
Receptionist
My role at Juanita Family Dentistry involves scheduling appointments and checking insurance benefits, but most importantly, ensuring that patients feel comfortable and well taken care of from the moment they arrive until they leave. I worked for years at Blue Cross Blue Shield before deciding to help my daughter-in-law Dr. Chelsea in her dental practice. This office is a genuine pleasure to work in. The girls here are such a fun group!
In my free time, I enjoy traveling to the Philippines, spending time with my two grandchildren and two grand-puppies, and being an active member of my church.
