Hi! My name is Lauri and I am a patient coordinator here at Karls Family Dentistry. I was born and raised in Oklahoma, married my husband, and moved to Michigan where we lived for the past 26 years. We have three beautiful children ages 15, 20, and 25. We recently moved to Wisconsin in the fall of 2019 and we are loving it! My dental background includes assisting in both general dentistry and orthodontics, customer service and sales for a dental supply company and working the front office while managing their social media and community involvement. At one point I took a break from the dental industry to raise our three children but after 17 years I decided to return. In my leisure time, I enjoy spending time with my greatest love - my family. I also enjoy traveling, kayaking, sports, walking our dogs and enjoying life on Lake Wisconsin.

Hi! I am Sue, I am the financial coordinator at Karls Family Dentistry. I grew up in Minneapolis, moved to Green Bay in 1983, and spent 7 years there (long enough to become a packer fan). Then moved to the Madison area in 1990. I love spending time near Lake Superior. Summer always includes a family trip to Madeline Island. I try to get a fall trip into Minnesota North Shore, to enjoy fall colors hiking, rock hunting, and drinking wine. I enjoy gardening, quilting, walking, hiking, Badgers, Packers and last but not least, my 2 grown sons and their families, which include 3 incredibly sweet grand kids! My favorite part of working for Karls Family Dentistry is to a integral part of such and amazing and caring team.

Hello! Im Celsey. I am a dental hygienist here at Karls Family Dentistry. I was born and raised in Waunakee and Im proud to still call it home. I started working as a dental assistant during my first year of college, which is where my love for dentistry began. I graduated from Madison College in 2011, and have been working here ever since. I absolutely love getting to know my patients and helping them maintain their oral health. Outside of the office my world revolves around my family, which includes my husband Chris, our two beautiful children Sydney and Miles, and our sweet dog Nash. We stay busy running our dairy farm which has been in the family for five generations. I enjoy walking, baking, and cheering for the Packers and Badgers!

Hi, I 'm Marcia. I 've been a dental hygienist for 35 years. I 'm married to my High school sweetheart. Working at Karls Family Dental has been a great experience. I work with some very smart, funny and talented people. I love the 'family atmosphere' of our office. My childhood was spent on a dairy farm in central Wi. near Oxford. I moved to Madison to attend college and never left. Most of my time outside of work is spent working on our farmette and caring for my animals which include a donkey, dog, chickens and cats. My other hobbies are reading, hiking, gardening, and horseback riding. I have two grown children, a son and a daughter that both live in the area. I am also a new grandma!

Hi! Im Emily, I am the dental hygiene assistant at Karls Family Dentistry and do a little bit of everything! I graduated from Waunakee HS in 2018 and I am currently on the wait list to get become a Dental Hygienist. I enjoy quality time with family and friends, and especially my dog, Wilson! I love attending Badger games, spending summers up north and hanging out with the animals on our family farm. And no I am NOT a Packer fan, I was born to a father who is an avid fan of the Dallas Cowboys (probably the only non Wisconsin thing about me)! My favorite thing about working at Karls Family Dentistry is the amount of experience and knowledge I have gained and how everyone makes you feel apart of the family.
