The majority of Dr. Fletchers continuing education has come from studying dental implants and the challenge of giving teeth, smiles and functioning bites back to patients that are missing or have lost teeth.

Trudi began with our office in 2001 as our front office coordinator, but has been working in dental offices since she was a teenager. She is now responsible for handling all dental accounts, financial consulting, HIPAA issues, and insurance questions. Trudi oversees many of the operations throughout the office.
Although Denise is new to our office, she was Dr. Fletchers first intern and has worked and taught with him since 1998. She also works as a dental assistant with an Expanded Functions license, allowing her to work independently with patients in our office (similar to a Physicians Assistant).Denise and her husband Chad live in Oakdale where they are busy raising and cheering for their daughter and son at most Oakdale High School sporting events.She loves to explore California and looks forward to every opportunity to visit the coast.
Debbie has been a dental assistant with our office since 1998. She has the most experience assisting Dr. Fletcher and has exceptional skills in all aspects of general, cosmetic and implant dentistry. Her strengths include patience and gentleness with all of our patients (not to mention Dr. Fletcher!). Debbie and her husband John live locally and are busy parents and grandparents. When not at work, she enjoys spending time with her family, volunteering with the dental van and dedicates extra time to her church. She has also never met a stray animal that she didnt welcome home.
Shelley has been a dental assistant since 1991. She is well loved by our patients and enjoys getting to know each and every one of them. She assists Dr. Fletcher in most general and surgical procedures.When she's not in the office, Shelley is busy helping her husband, Paul, run their family diner in Hughson, CA.She also enjoys antique sales and has her own booth at Miss Potts Attic in Hughson. When she is not discovering her next antique treasure, she loves to explore the Sierra Nevadas or California coastline with her husband and three sons.
When she is not making smiles sparkle, walking her cats in a stroller or helping Dr. Fletcher fine tune his 1980's music playlist, you can find her actively working on a Bachelors Degree in Public Health and Administration.
Ashley has literally grown up in our office. Before choosing a career as a dental hygienist she and her siblings were all patients of Dr. Fletcher. Ashley does her best everyday to remind Dr. Fletcher just how old he actually is. Ashley is available to see patients Monday through Wednesday.
Holliday joined our office to help take care of patients after the COVID_19 shutdown. We loved her so much that we asked her to stay and we are thankful she agreed. She has been a hygienist for 10 years and was a dental assistant before that. As a busy mom, we only get Holliday in our office on Thursdays. Along with the country music, she helps us finish the work week with smiles and great energy.
