Dental office manager Karen

Bridgett,
Practice Manager

A Dietrich, Idaho native, Bridgett has been in the field of dentistry for several years and counting. She began by working as a receptionist and scheduler in a dental office. Throughout her time with her dentist and team, she was exposed to the processes of dentistry and enjoyed helping patients get the care they needed. Today, she enjoys the opportunity to help organize the practice and work alongside an outstanding dental team that goes the extra mile to care for our patients.

At home, Bridgett loves being with her husband on their acreage outside of town. Together, they like gardening, spending time with their horses, and geocaching/logging road adventures with their German Shepard. They also enjoy going on date nights to listen to music, get food from top-notch food trucks, and enjoy beautiful vineyards in the area. One interesting fact about her: she’s also a licensed Principal Real Estate Broker in the State of Oregon!

Dental hygienist Michelle

Michelle,
Dental Hygienist

Michelle brings over 30 years of dental experience to our team, and she considers both her coworkers as well as our patients to be her extended family.

Michelle is married to an airline pilot and has three children—two adult daughters as well as a teenage son. She loves to do anything outdoors, so you’ll often find her golfing, gardening, or just relaxing by the lake. Thanks to her husband, the family gets to travel a lot, but the ironic thing is that Michelle is actually deathly afraid of flying!
