When Im not being aGig Harbor dentist, I love being outdoors and enjoy mountain and snow biking, skiing, and water sports. I also love thoroughly puttering in the garden and watching my kids Brev (born 2000) and Adele (born 2005) playing on the zip line, slack lines, or feeding the chickens. We have an indoor/outdoor aviary filled with birds and also share our home with two cats, two dogs, and two parrots!
Dentists (in Gig Harbor or anywhere) offer the best patient experience when supported by a caring, capable, and friendly team. We aim to exceed your expectations and guide you to a healthier mouth and body.
I was born in the Fiji Islands, but Ive lived in Washington for over thirty years, and I love the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. I live in Gig Harbor with my husband, our three girls, and our dog Holly.
I graduated from Shoreline Community College with a degree in Dental Hygiene. Before that, I was working as a dental assistant. I enjoy educating and building relationships with my patients. In my spare time, I enjoy camping, traveling, hiking, gardening, baking, and cooking. I love working with Dr. Rioux and our team, and I look forward to meeting you!
I enjoy being a part of Dr. Kim Riouxs team. We all share a common goal: to provide our patients with the highest quality care in a comfortable atmosphere. I enjoy building relationships with our new and current patients, talking, laughing, and helping each person learn how quality at-home dental care affects whole body health.
I have been a registered dental hygienist since 2001 and in the dental field since 1991. I believe in life-long learning, so in 2015 I earned my Bachelor of Science from The College of Health, Arts and Sciences of Oregon Technical Institute and I pursue as many ongoing continuing education courses as possible. I actively support and promote my profession through volunteer leadership with our local chapter of the American Dental Hygiene Association.
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my significant other and our three dogs Areo, Max and Lily. I love fishing, crabbing, eating at new restaurants, playing board games with friends, and singing karaoke.
I graduated from the Dental Assisting Program from Clover Park Technical College in 1992. I always wanted to work in the health industry. I chose the dental profession because it would allow me to meet new people, help others learn about the importance of dental health, and build lasting relationships with patients. I try to make each and every experience a positive one for my patients.
I enjoy every aspect of my job, especially the group of women who I work with. Weve all known each other for a long time, and they are very much like a second family. Dr. Rioux and the girls make coming to work an enjoyable thing!
I was raised in Gig Harbor and graduated from Gig Harbor High School. I graduated from the Dental Assisting Program at Clover Park Technical College in 2005. Outside of the office, I enjoy time with my husband and our two kids. I love cooking, gardening, and spending time with friends!
My favorite part about being a dental assistant is having the opportunity to know my patients personally, as well as being able to treat their diverse dental needs. I enjoy the challenge of each new case and helping my patients feel comfortable and well cared for.
Originally from eastern Washington, Ive lived in the great city of Gig Harbor since 2014 along with my husband, four daughters, and our fur-son Jax. I graduated from the Dental Assisting program at YVCC and YV-Tech in 2013. I have had the honor to be a part of such a dynamic team at Harbor Hill Dentistry since 2017.
My priority as a dental assistant is to maintain a comfortable atmosphere and experience for our patients. In my personal time, I love spending quality time with my family and cooking new recipes off of Pinterest.
I was born and raised in Southern California. Ive been in the dental field for 15 years, from dental assisting to dental administration. My husband currently serves in the U.S. Navy, which has blessed us with the opportunity to live in Hawaii for six years, and now this beautiful state. We enjoy all the seasons and scenery Washington has to offer.
I was born in Virginia and moved to the Pacific Northwest when I was very young. Being a PNW native, I am gifted with immense gratitude for our homes state beauty and grandeur. Aside from gawking at the mountains and sunsets, I enjoy attending car shows, taking photos, and going on hikes.
I currently study at Tacoma Community College. I am enthusiastic about being a member of the Harbor Hill Dentistry team and I welcome the opportunity to learn academically at TCC and in the workplace here at Dr. Riouxs office.
I was born and raised in Montana, and recently relocated to the PNW with my husband and our twin toddlers. I grew up in Yellowstone National Park and spent my summers scooping ice cream, and making coffee for park visitors. While we are no strangers to beautiful places, we are excited to be near the water, and closer to family and friends.
Before moving West, I earned my Masters Degree from Gonzaga University in 2011, and have worked in dental offices since 2012. I love connecting with patients and helping the office run as smoothly as possible. Dentistry is always evolving and progressing, and I enjoy continuing to learn and grow with the industry. Im looking forward to getting to know all the patients here at Harbor Hill!
My visit was great. The reception group welcomed me warmly and helped me feel comfortable. Carey has always been warm and welcoming and does a great job with my cleanings. Dr. Rioux has always been warm and compassionate in her care. All the staff have taken the time to explain what they suggest we do and how it would occur. Thanks to all of you!
