Jandy

Dental Hygienist

Every day I come to work looking forward to the conversations and laughter I’m going to share with my patients, while we work together to improve and maintain their oral hygiene. I spend my days delivering preventive and therapeutic care, and talking with each person about their specific oral hygiene practices and needs. I strive to ensure each patient understands why it’s important to keep their mouth in great shape, and how to do it. Instead of lecturing, I provide solutions that work for them and their lifestyle.

My husband Manny and I share our lives with our two sons, and  Ivy, a sweet and sassy miniature Schnauzer. I love spending my free time with family and friends, and taking long walks with Ivy.

Lori

Patient Concierge

I love spending time with people, especially when they share stories about their lives and experiences. I started with O’Brien Dentistry in 1998, and each day has provided me with wonderful exchanges with the most amazing people: our patients! It’s an honor to care for such great people, and I love that they’re smiling when they arrive. I greet patients as they come through the doors, research insurance coverage, am the appointment scheduler, and oversee the hygiene recall process, too.

I’ve been a single mom to my sons, Andrew and Robbie. They survived my parenting and are now wonderful adults. Outside work, I can be found rooting for my favorite teams, being active in my church, and in the middle of a good book.

Sylvia

Restorative Assistant

I started in the dental field in 1973 and have been part of the O’Brien Dentistry team since 1999. Every day at the office means making a difference for our patients: I focus on their comfort and concerns, and make sure they understand all aspects of the care we provide. Education is important, as the more knowledgeable a patient, the better they are able to care for their oral health and make good decisions. I spend my time primarily caring for patients, working on fillings and taking impressions. I also handle ordering for the office.

I have two sons, and always have one or two long-hair German Shepherds, too. I love to read and garden, enjoy skiing, biking, and running, and always make time to work with my dog.

Vanessa

Dental Assistant and Sterilization Technician

I started working at O’Brien Dentistry in 2004, and have loved every minute of my time here. Because we focus on establishing long-term relationships with our patients, I’ve had the opportunity to develop some wonderful friendships, and look forward each day to seeing those friends and meeting people new to the practice, too. I perform various duties throughout the office, as needed, and like the rest of the team, am always willing to pitch in with a willing hand wherever I’m needed.

My handsome husband Larry and I have a fabulous son, Eric. I love singing, and am a fan-a-tic for the great “America’s Team,” the Dallas Cowboys.

Jammie

Operations Support 

I have been in the dental field since 1991, graduated from Bates Technical College. After getting my AA at Pierce College.I have been with Dr. O’Brien since early 2009. I have worked with her as a Chairside Assistant, and as her Office manager, and sometimes both at the same time. I can be found in both pratices, and multiple postions doing whatever is needed to support our patients needs.

I have a passion for patient care, and truly enjoy assisting with all aspects of dental care. From walking the most nervous patients through a procedure to the explaining Insurance benefits.

I spend my spare time chasing around my Bulldog Bella and my grandsons Carson and Ryland.

Amanda 

Dental Hygienist 

I am a Registered Dental Hygienist and earned my degree in dental hygiene in 2019. My journey into the field of dental hygiene was inspired by my own experiences with dental anxiety. Growing up without consistent dental care and experiencing the need for treatment starting at 19, I understand the fears that many patients face when visiting the dentist.

Motivated by the outstanding education I received from my mentors, I am passionate about raising awareness of the importance of dental hygiene for both oral and overall health. I am dedicated to creating a welcoming and comfortable environment for my patients, particularly those who may feel anxious in the dental chair. 

Outside of my professional pursuits, I enjoy engaging in various hobbies, exploring new activities, savoring my husband's culinary creations, and spending quality time with my dogs and loved ones. My diverse interests allow me to connect with patients on a personal level, enhancing their overall experience in the office.

Cady

Financial Coordinator

As the Financial Coordinator, I strive to provide the best care and communication to our patients around all aspects.  Money can be a difficult conversation and insurance is so confusing. My goal is to make sure all patients find our office a safe space to discuss finances. Our office wants all our patients to be able to receive the treatment they need and want to make that as reasonable on the pocketbook as possible.

Most often I am at the front desk, whether that be to answer insurance related questions or schedule next appointment. I am here to help!

I look forward to seeing you in the office!

 

 

Chelan

Scheduling Coordinator

My name is Chelan, I have been in the dental field as a patient care coordinator since 2014, when I was still in highschool. I was in that role for around 8 years, prior to joining the team at O'Brien Dentistry in 2024. My primary focus is delivering expert quality care tailored to each individual I meet. While I may be a new face to some, many may remember me from my many years at Dr. Wilder's office. I hope to continue to develop the relationships I gained there and build many new ones.

In my free time I love to relax with a good book, or get some friends together for a game night. I am a big fantasy fan and Marvel movie lover.

However, the most special parts of my day are when I get to share moments with my two beautiful nieces. 

 

 

Molly

Lyndsey

Dental Hygienist

Hi, my name is Lyndsey!

I’ve always been passionate about helping people, but was not sure which route I would take to follow that path. Dentistry found me through family. My father and I spent many years of my young adult life working together in his office. Recently, he retired which brought me to O’Brien Dentistry. I decided to pursue hygiene school in an official capacity and graduated from Pierce College in 2019 with a Bachelor’s of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene. I strive every day to make connections with my patients to provide individualized comprehensive care.

When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me on Disney’s Main Street with my Mickey ears and a coffee spending quality time with my family.
