After 13 years in the dental field, I like to think of myself as a Jill of all trades, but master of none. I typically spend my free time climbing Kilimanjaro, biking a quick 135 miles around Lake CDA, or the occasional backpack trip across Post Falls. I am primarily powered by McDonalds iced tea and sunshine!
I like taking on new projects and am currently mastering the art of underwater makeup tutorials. With talents like this, I tend to think of myself as humble with a hint of Kanye. I love meeting new people and thought what the heck - Post Falls Family Dental seems like a great way to meet the community!
I was born and raised in the PNW and still love it. I have 3 grown children and recently became a grandma for the first time. I enjoy camping, fishing, and anything involving a beach. I have worked in the Medical and Dental field in customer service and insurance for over 16 years and am excited to be a part of the Post Falls Family Dental team!

I can't say enough good things about this office, and most especially about Dr. Elliott. I was having major sensitivity with a few of my teeth with fillings. The fillings were done at another dentist office, so I decided to go see Dr. Elliott and I'm SO grateful that I did! She got me in quickly and fixed every issue I had. She even fixed a big gap in my bottom teeth that had been bugging me for years. Now when I smile, I love not seeing a black space. I'm already feeling so much better and am thrilled with my experience. The staff and overall atmosphere there is fantastic! It's so nice knowing when you're there, you're in great hands.

I cannot say enough good things about Post Falls Family Dental! I was going to a different dentist in town and had a couple horrible experiences, and as I asked around about different dentists in town, this was the name that kept popping up. I then met Dr. Erin Elliot, and she is the sweetest person, not to mention super knowledgeable about her line of work, and a huge bonus she is actually really passionate about what she does. I have been there three times now and I have had great experiences every time. They even helped to fix a problem that another dentist had created in doing a filling wrong. I am so happy to have found such a good dental group. I can't recommend this team enough!!

I thought I snored... occasionally. But when my granddaughter repeatedly complained about me snoring ALL the time I set out to prove her wrong. I started with a sleep app on my phone. It proved HER right & ME wrong. So, I figured I go through the sleep study at PF Dental to remedy the situation. Both Dr Elliott & Samantha were awesome in explaining the process & getting me set on my journey to quit snoring. It wasn't all smooth sailing. The study revealed that I had Obstructive Sleep Apnea which was much worse then the granddaughter annoying snoring. I never realized my sleep was being interrupted multiple time a night with potential damage being done to my heart & other organs. Not wanting to jump straight to a CPAP machine, I opted to try the sleep appliance Dr Elliott offers. Two months later, I haven't stopped snoring completely but it has been extremely reduced. My sleep is better than it has been in years. And, what snoring I do have is so quiet my granddaughter says she no longer hears it at all! Going through the sleep study & trusting the staff at PF Dental has been the best decision of my life!!

Over a period of about 30 years I have had four dentists tell me I needed to get some dental work done. The problem was they varied in their proposed solutions. One of them told me he could do the work, but it was questionable if it would work. It got to the point where I would needed to have something done. Dr. Harness had a model done and it looked like it would work. From what I saw in the model it looked like it would work and I was confident she was the best dentist I have ever had who could do it. She is obviously a dentist who pays great attention to detail and wants to do her very best work. The work I had done was detailed and rather extensive but she made it a pleasure. It is a pleasure to be able to trust such a person of integrity and skill. Ang, the dental assistant worked together with Dr. Harness very well. It was as though they had worked together for many years. I have been in Post Family Dental for other reason and felt I have always gotten the best care by skilled people who are a pleasure. It is obvious that dental office has excellent leadership and hires excellent people who enjoy their job. I have never liked to have dental work done but the people there make such a difference. They truly provide skilled excellent service to the people. I would consider it the best dental office I have been to.

First time back at the dentist in awhile. Definitely was pleasantly surprised to start back at a place like PF Family Dental! Great experience, everyone was very kind and caring. Guided me along the way with each and every step, never hesitated to answer my questions, and I had a few! Bridgette took care of me this visit, and she was so helpful with letting me know what to expect, and she was great at her job too! My teeth feel cleaner than ever before. I don't want to eat anything and ruin it! Will definitely be coming back.

Absolutely amazing office and staff! From the receptionist to the dentist every facet of this place rocks my socks off! I went in there for my horrible teeth(somewhat expecting scoffs for) but instead received assurance that I'm not alone and there is a way to help. They looked high, they looked low, they found the perfect plan to GO.. with. Most of all I genuinely trust them all. I've found my dentist office for life, have you?
