Have you ever wondered why a hygienist becomes a hygienist? For Kirstin it all comes down to one thing the money. Just kidding! Kirstin truly loves the work that being a dental hygienist provides her with. Her main objective in the workplace is to have fun, which is why she fits in perfectly here at Phoenix Family Dentistry. She enjoys fine detailing, working in a team setting, and having conversations with people both familiar to her and ones shes just met. She is a true people-person and can chat with you about almost anything, but she especially gets into the conversation if its about crafting, DIYing, Disney, or ghost hunting. She loves the dental world and helping her patients obtain their optimum oral health, which in case you're new here, directly ties into a person's overall health. If you are looking for suggestions regarding how to improve your dental home care, Kirstin is your gal.

Kirstin grew up in the Portland metro area and has since lived in Southern Oregon for over 16 years with her husband and kids. At home, the sounds of her favorite music or True Crime shows on the TV is often drowned out by the joyful sounds of her kids playing. She might not be able to hear where they found the footprints leading to the victim's house, but she wouldn't have it any other way. Whenever possible, her and her family will try to take vacations to one of their favorite spots at either Sunriver, a warm beach, or a Disney Park. Kirstin is mostly looking forward to safely traveling again since the pandemic. When the time comes, she will more than likely be driving up I-5 bumping Big & Rich or Sum 41 through the speakers.

Southern Oregon native, Alyssa, was born and raised right here in the Rogue Valley. She started her dental career as a front office receptionist/patient coordinator at our office, but transitioned into dental assisting after completing her certification with Southern Oregon Dental Assisting Program in the fall of 2020. This defied her original plan, which was to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, until she sadly discovered that Harry Potter was indeed fictional.

When Alyssa isnt daydreaming of eating her favorite gelato in Rome, shes always on the hunt for new projects. She enjoys reading, baking, and finding new recipes to try out! If youre one of the lucky ones, you might have witnessed one of her surprisingly good karaoke performances at your favorite local venue. On occasion she grabs her Mickey Mouse ears and takes her talents down to Southern California where she can visit her sister and spend time with her beloved friends and family.

Good job, Southern Oregon. You've gotten an Orange County native to fall in love with you and get her saying Los Angeles, who? Now that shes here, we are never giving her back. Sheryl has been slowly growing her roots in Oregon for over 21 years and cant ever see herself moving back to the concrete jungle. Shes grown accustomed to her seven minutes of peace and quiet driving to work every day without ever having to get on a single freeway. Instead of angrily merging into bumper-to-bumper traffic she sips her coffee provided by her almost-fianc, Chris. Its brewed with a special ingredient called love every single morning, which is really the reason why Sheryl is always so warm and friendly. You do not want to see her on a day she did not have her special coffee. If you ever must find yourself in that situation, just bring her something with chocolate and don't use any sudden movements. That should keep her tame for a while.

Sheryl did not choose dentistry, but dentistry chose her. She was the only kid in the history of the planet that genuinely loved going to the dentist. She would heckle her dentist as they had their instruments in her mouth asking all sorts of questions regarding what tools they were using and, every childs favorite question, why? She did not try to fight fate and enrolled in dental assisting school which led her to her life today. She is extremely excited to be starting her new life with almost-fianc Chris, in a new house they have together, with a new perfect job at Phoenix Family Dentistry, and new adventures to come!

Nichole came up to Oregon from the Bay Area in 2012 to pursue her Bachelor of Science degree in Communication at Southern Oregon University. She was so captivated by the beauty of the striking lakes, rivers, and mountains surrounding us here that she did not want to leave. In her free time, she explores the area as often as possible.

She prefers to spend her summers kayaking at one of our many local lakes and winters snowboarding up at Mt. Ashland, although she is not particularly good at either activity. When she is not busy being mediocre at outdoor sports, she tends to her German Shepherd puppy and her many house plants. Nichole is said to be a plant whisperer and sneaks them into our front office when she runs out of space for them in her own home. See if you can spot them while you're here!

The first thing you see when you enter our office, besides of course our stunningly beautiful dcor, is Kims smiling face. She joined our team in November of 2021 and has since been learning everything there is to know about the dental world. She chose to get involved with dentistry because she has always believed in the importance of oral health and thinks that everyone deserves to feel confident about their smile. Kim has a soft spot for people who tend to be afraid of going to the dentist and wants to help them overcome their anxieties and achieve their healthiest smile possible.

We like to tease Kim for being the youngest in the office, but she is certainly not the baby in her own family. She is the oldest of four and helps her parents with her siblings as often as she can. In fact, Kims commute to work is usually accompanied by her little sister. Kim drops her sis off at school and hits I-5 on her way to Phoenix just in time to catch the sunrise every morning. As a woman of many talents, Kim is fluent in Spanish, English, and Mickey Mouse impressions. For all our sakes, though, please dont ask her to speak in Mickey Mouse. Once she starts, we can never get her to stop.
