Annetta, Hygienist

Annetta grew up in Bellingham, WA. Her family originates from Ukraine and she is the first generation to be born and live in the U.S. Annetta began her dental career as a dental assistant in 2016, fell in love with the field and wanted to continue her education to become a dental hygienist. She is committed to providing holistic care to every patient. Her goal for every patient is to promote oral and systemic health through prevention, education, and oral disease treatment, and believes that optimal oral health cannot be achieved through clinical therapies alone.

“As a dental hygienist, it is my duty to provide individuals with the basic human need of oral health. Every patient has the right to optimal oral health regardless of socioeconomic status, race, age, or gender. I strive to treat each patient with kindness, respect and individual attention so every individual’s unique need is met.”

When not in the office, Annetta enjoys hiking, skiing, hanging out with friends and family, and traveling with her husband.

Deborah, Financial Coordinator

Having previous experience in accounting, when Deborah returned to school to work on her medical/dental prerequisites, she was able to take a position in the dental field as a treatment coordinator/office manager for an orthodontist. After an interlude in real estate, Deborah returned to general dentistry and later became a registered dental assistant in addition to working in administration. She enjoys working with patients, explaining the treatment process and how dental treatment affects the patient’s whole health as well as helping with the financial considerations. Her greatest joy is learning their patient’s stories and helping our patients feel comfortable. She and her husband enjoy travel, theater, reading, classical music, baseball, and bicycle riding on our tandem, as well as spending time with their grown children and “grand dog”.
