Stefani

Hi I’m Stefani, I’m one of the Dental Assistants who works beside Drs. Thompson and Ryan and directly with patients and their parents. I graduated from the Regional Occupational Program of Monterey County in 2004. I have been in the Dental Field for 6 years with five of those years focused on Pediatric Dentistry. I love working with the kids, educating them as well as their parents’ about oral health. I truly believe in the power of education and the belief that a clean tooth cannot decay. Outside of the office I enjoy spending time with family and friends, boyfriend and our boxer Brodie, jet skiing, snowboarding, dancing, laughing, and just plain having fun!

Stefani also coordinates our connections with the community.  So whether it is Pioneer Day in Meadow Vista, Birthday Parties, Sports Teams or other connections and events, Stefani is our 'go to' person.

 

 

 

 

 

Shauna

Hi, I’m Shauna. I’ve been a Registered Dental Assistant specializing in pediatric dentistry for 18 years. Treating and educating patients is the best part of my job. I love to incorporate parents and give them an active roll in their child’s dental visits. Outside of the office, I love to be outdoors. I enjoy tournament bass fishing, indoor soccer, jogging, wakeboarding, harley riding, and traveling.

 

Shauna is also responsible for keeping the clinical side of our practice "in order."  Whether ordering supplies, manageing our OSHA and HIPAA and Infection Control requirements, or organizing our equipment; she keeps us functional.

 

 

 

 

Maggie

Hi, my name is Maggie. I have been a Registered Dental Assistant for 10 years. I graduated from Western Career College with licences including xray, prophylaxis and sealant placement. I have been working with Dr Thompson since he opened his practice in 2004. I started chairside and as our pracitce grew I gravitated toward the front office. I am now full time handling the front end as a treatment coordinator. My main goal is to help our parents understand their insurance and benefits fully and assist in handling whatever questions or concerns they might have related to their insurance plans. I also help to educate our parents and empower our children to understand the importance of oral hygiene.

 

Maggie also keeps Dr Thompson's and the team's professional calendar and connections in order.  That includes attendance at professional meetings, lunches and meetings with local professionals, travel arrangements etc.  She is also the "voice" of the practice, answering the many calls that come to us daily.

 

 

Angie

Hi. My name is Angie.  I graduated from Galen College in Fresno in 1982.  My experience includes Oral Surgery, Endodontics and General Dentistry.  I have worked in Pediatric Dentistry for the last 3 years.  The best part of my job is working with children.  I truly believe if you start educating your family at an early age your children will have a better start in oral health.

My other part time job is spending time with my husband and my 2 boys, ages 9 and 10.  They are very involved in sports and they keep us very busy.

When I am away from my family, I enjoy working out, shopping, reading and having fun with my friends.

Angie is also our connection with the Hispanic patients in our practice.  She has become a wonderful educator for children about oral health and is especially appreciated by the parents whose English is more limited than the children.
