Pediatric Dentist / Orthodontist I was born in Logan, Utah and grew up in North Logan when it was a farming community. I worked in the farms and went to North Cache Junior High before moving to Willard where I worked in the fruit orchards. I graduated from Box Elder High School where I was active in music and track. I served an LDS mission to Barcelona, Spain and later graduated from Utah State University. I graduated from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio dental school and finished a residency in Pediatric Dentistry at the same school. I served in US Navy for 3 years as a pediatric dentist at the Naval Air Station in Rota, Spain. After the Navy I completed a residency in Orthodontics at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston earning a certificate and Masters degree. I have been in private practice since 1994 here in the Salt Lake Valley. I also teach the dental residents at Primary Childrens Medical Center, the University of Utah Hospital, and the Veterans Hospital. I am married to Chris Adams and have four children, Megan, Adam, Chelsea, and Timothy.
Financial Coordinator I have lived in Utah most of my life. When I was fifteen, Dr. Barney was my orthodontist and after 1 1/2 years of braces, I now have a smile that I am not embarrassed by. I have worked for Dr. Barney since December 1999. In 2003, I married Zeke and together we have 2 beautiful daughters. I love spending time with my family and being a mom.
Dental Assistant I live in Riverton with my husband, Preston. We recently had our beautiful son, Griffin who we cant get enough of. I enjoy camping, hiking and anything outdoors. My family and friends mean everything to me. I love working for Dr. Olsen and being a part of this amazing team.
Dental Assistant I grew up in Orem and I have lived in Utah most of my life, except for the 3 months when I lived in Maui. I have been working for Dr. Olsen since 1997. I married Brandon, in February 1995 and together we have a son named Justin and our dog, Cricket. As a family we enjoy camping and riding four-wheelers, and when I have some time to myself I love to read and watch my favorite tv shows. My favorite authors include, Nora Roberts and James Patterson.
I am a military kid who moved around my entire life. I have a degree in photography, but found my calling in Dental assisting. During my adult life Ive lived in South Korea, Kazahkstan, Malta and Israel. I enjoy hiking, travel, a good Bahn Mi, and trying my hand at refinishing furniture. Im usually up for a good adventure and Ive learned that life doesnt always go how you think it will, but you just have to roll with it. I try to appreciate the little things and not sweat the small stuff.
I was raised in Nebraska and moved to Utah about 3 years ago. I am engaged and soon to be married to Jose. We have two fur babies together, Luna & Gemini. I enjoy painting, hiking and traveling when I am not at work. Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera are two of my favorite Mexican painters. My future goals include becoming a Pediatric Nurse and later a Nurse Anesthetist. Working at this office is a dream job, it is rewarding everyday as we help many children overcome fears. It is the I love coming and the Mom thats my friend that make everyday worth it to me.
I am a mom to my amazing son, Xander! In my free time I love spending time with my son, painting, fishing and doing spontaneous things! I love anything Halloween related or spooky. I love working for Dr. Olsen, and love working with kids. They always know how to make me laugh and smile!
Working with children has always been a deep passion for me and especially working with them in a dental environment. Spending time with my family, being outdoors in all seasons, camping, hiking, traveling and watching my 2 young boys grow and develop is what I enjoy. Being a part of Dr. Olsens team as a Dental Assistant and more recently, a Continuing Care Coordinator has brought me great pleasure. There is something so wonderful in being an instrument in setting kids up for a lifetime of good oral health.
