I enjoy meeting new people and helping them achieve their health goals! One thing I think patients are impressed with here at FDC is the level of technology we use while still caring for our patients like family. I am committed to providing quality care while helping our patients improve their oral and overall health. In 1999, I graduated with honors from Sonoma State University with degrees in biology and chemistry. In 2003, I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree with honors from the University of Michigan, School of Dentistry. I grew up in Penn Valley, and after leaving for college and living in San Diego for a while, I moved back to Nevada County in 2019. I enjoy being outdoors and on the beach. I also like hiking, traveling, reading, doing arts and crafts, and spending time with my husband and sons. Many people dont know that I also enjoy surfing!
At FDC, were able to offer the best services to our patients because of our great team of co-workers and our ultra-modern facility. Its so gratifying to help you, our patients, attain and maintain optimal dental health. Indeed, its extraordinary how Dr. Fore takes the time to really get to know you and has a genuine concern for your overall health. And, I am personally committed to providing you with the highest quality care, always keeping your comfort a priority. I graduated from the Dental Hygiene Program at Diablo Valley College in 2003. I worked in the medical field prior to that, and have never regretted making the career change! Born and raised in San Francisco, I made my way to Grass Valley in the summer of 2013 and am really enjoying being a member of this community. I love spending time with family and friends, and adore my three grandchildren. I also enjoy golf, hiking, and exploring this beautiful area with my dog. And, I love to dance! Recently, I took lessons in Latin, ballroom, and belly dancingand love Salsa!
The best part about what I do at FDC is being able to learn something new every day! You are sure to be impressed by our staff's positive attitude and our commitment to teamwork. My daily goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible, giving you 100% attention. Yes, you are in good hands at FDC! I graduated from Carrington College in April 2010 and started my dental career in the specialty of orthodontics. Originally from Santa Cruz, I've lived in Grass Valley for about 14 years. My niece and nephew are a big part of my life. I spend as much time with them as I can! I'm proud to be a good caregiver.
I work with some of the best people around. Fore Dental Care feels like a home away from home. I began my education at UC Davis and received a degree in English. From there I worked in a busy dental clinic as a receptionist. I have been an orthodontist assistant and finally a patient financial coordinator in a private practice. I loved working with patients one-on-one, so I became a hygienist. The doctors and staff at Fore Dental Care have extended knowledge. I am committed to giving the best care possible and creating an environment where patients feel comfortable asking questions. I am happy to call Nevada County home for a year now! Before that, I lived in a small town in Napa County. I love spending time with my husband and our two dogs. I love to write and hope to one day publish a book. Fore Dental Care staff has the highest of standards and we do everything in our power to make the dental experience comfortable for patients.
What I like best about what I do at FDC is helping our patients get what they want. You are sure to be impressed by Dr. Stacy Fore and all of our clinicians. At FDC, my personal commitment is to make sure every patient is treated like one of my family and is as educated as much as possible about what we do. Call us today, and well make sure all of your questions are answered. Professionally, I became a dental assistant at age 16 and an RDA in 1992. Specialists Ive worked for include an orthodontist, implant specialist, periodontist, and cosmetic dentist. On a personal note, I grew up in the Bay Area and came to Nevada County first in 1991. I LOVE to cook. In fact, Ive been a personal chef. I also enjoy fishing, hiking, and Mel Brooks movies.
It's a pleasure to be a part of Fore Dental Care. My duty as dental hygienist is to be a health care provider and do everything I can for my patients to improve their general health by improving their oral health. I can do this at FDC, because Dr. Fore considers the general health of her patients before recommending any treatment. I enjoy educating my patients about their oral condition, providing optimal treatment, and seeing improvement. I have been practicing dental hygiene for 15 years, most of those years here in Grass Valley and feel it's a privilege serving this community. I attended Cabrillo College in Aptos, California where I received an Associate's Degree in Dental Hygiene, then attended the Arthur Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco and received a license to provide care to patients in long term care. I continue to keep myself educated, and I'm excited to implement what I have learned about poor sleep, sleep apnea, and the effects it has on my patients dental condition.
There are many things I like about what I do at FDC. First, Im grateful for the team I work with. Dr. Fore is very knowledgeable and constantly provides continuing education for staff to stay on the cutting edge. Dr. Fores high standard of care is so impressive, along with the unique fact she followed the footsteps of her father, a dentist in Grass Valley for the past 50+ years. Working at FDC for the last ten years, Ive enjoyed building a great rapport with our patients. Im committed to making my patients feel at home and comfortable. I also enjoy meeting new patients and making them feel the same way.
I was born and raised in Clarinda, Iowa. I graduated from Iowa Western Community College Dental Assisting Program in 1986 and became an RDA in California in 2008. My husband and I moved to Lake Wildwood in 1996 and raised our two daughters. In my free time, I enjoy boating with my husband and hiking with my daughters.
What I like best about working at FDC is the opportunity to be part of an amazing team that works together to deliver the best care possible and goes the extra mile to see people smile! As a care coordinator, I am personally committed to making sure patients are well informed about their treatment options and that they leave our office after each visit feeling cared for and supported. I became interested in dentistry because I was born without my front lateral incisors. I now have a permanent bridge, but as a child, I was self-conscious and struggled with my confidence. I decided I wanted to help people restore the confidence that comes along with having a beautiful smile. I have worked for many dental offices over the years in both the front and back office, and I have experience in everything from front office reception to records and registration. In 2019, I earned my Associate of Science degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences from Sierra College. I grew up in the Bay Area and have happily lived in Nevada County for over 30 years. I love spending time with family and friends, and I enjoy camping and spending time on the rivers with my husband and our three children.
Catrice is from the Bay Area and moved to Nevada County in July 2021. She has worked in the front offices in Dental offices for the past 8 years. Catrice loves interacting with patients and helping them understand their treatment. Catrice is married and has 3 children. In her free time, she enjoys singing, reading, baking, and hiking. Catrice also used to be the lead singer of a hard rock band when she lived in the Bay Area.
I love working at FDC because of the positive energy and my amazing coworkers. The entire staff is so kind and helpful. This is my first job at a dental office and I am currently in school pursuing my EMT license. I am committed to making patients feel safe, comfortable, and happy during their visits. I was born in Colville, WA, and raised in the Bay Area. I moved to Nevada County in 2013. I really enjoy being at home with my small farm and enjoying the sun while Barbecuing. I also love taking our camping trailers out with our dogs. Most people would be surprised to know that Ive traveled to some pretty amazing places including Thailand, Korea, and Tahiti.
