Kelly
Kelly's been with us since day one; she was the first team member we hired at Erie Dental Co.!
Kelly loves forming real relationships with our patients and getting to know all about you (especially if you happen to have any kiddos or pets)! Kelly excels at making sure you have an awesome dental experience every time you visit. Outside the office, Kelly is a wife and mother. Her husband Chris is half Japanese, and she would love to travel to Japan one day with her husband and son to learn more about their heritage.
Kelly has a very goofy golden retriever named Toad, and a cat named Luna, who both fill her day with joy and laughter.
Ask her about her favorite Gilmore Girls or Portlandia quotes and where to find the best thrift deals in Erie!
Katie
Katie brings some serious experience to the team, having been a dental assistant for more than 13 years! Her favorite part of her job is upping her game at every opportunity, striving to give patients the best care possible and helping them feel comfortable every step of the way.
When she's not at work, Katie loves traveling and riding her motorcycle! Ask her about her favorite weekend getaways or where to find the best chicken alfredo in Erie.
Deena
With 15 years of experience in the dental field and a passion for educating and empowering patients, Deena brings a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and energy to our team. This energy is fueled by Banana Foster Fraps from Brew HaHa in the Colony Plaza, of course. When she's not in the office, you can find her coaching the McDowell Cheer team to another championship!
At home she likes to spend time with her husband, Matt, and their 10 year old daughter, Vivi. They are all kept entertained by their two cats: Poppy (a real-life squishmallow) and Steven (100% human in cat form).
Ask her about her Egyptian roots and building a cheer empire.
