Patty
Front Desk Coordinator
I earned my Associate of Arts degree from Winona State University, then went on to earn my AAS degree in dental assisting from Lakeland Medical and Dental Academy. I have worked at White Bear Smiles for over 12 years. I enjoy helping patients improve their smiles and helping them understand their dental needs and how it relates to their overall health. I live in Forest Lake with my husband and our dog Maggie. In my free time I enjoy doing various crafts.
White Bear Smiles has been a great experience for the whole family. When I was a kid, I was terrified of the dentist. I am thrilled that my kids are having a very different experience! The staff has been great at working with my kids (4 and 7 years), and the dentist has been a positive experience for them. they get excited if they do well and are the "Patient of the Day" and they have fun with their prizes. My daughter had to have cavities filled and even that was simple and not traumatic for her!
We also recently had an out-of-town guest who was experiencing tooth pain. White Bear Smiles got him in and immediately took care of it. My husband and I have nothing but positive feedback for the entire family!
