Meet the Staff

I am a WA state certified dental assistant and have worked as a surgical assistant to Dr. Maring for 6 years. My job is to ensure that all details for patient surgeries are reviewed and that the various steps in the process, per patient, are thoroughly explained and understood.  I have a lot of fun with our team and patients to help add to a warm, welcoming atmosphere.  When I’m not in the office, I enjoy cooking,  spending time with my family and friends, and hanging out with my 2 dogs.

I am a WA state certified dental assistant with over 5 years  of experience working with Dr. Maring. I provide technical and patient-focused expertise to many of Dr. Maring’s most complex cases.  I enjoy consulting with patients to ensure they understand the entire process of treatment from start to finish. I have a huge passion for surgery and patient care. In my spare time, I enjoy trying new restaurants, spending time with my family and friends, and playing with my corgi, Yale.

I have had the pleasure to be a part of the Maring Surgical team for almost 10 years. As a dental insurance coordinator, I am responsible for providing administrative support to our patients and team by verifying patient insurance benefits, overseeing claims, and maintaining accurate records.  I especially enjoy assisting our patients with any questions they may have regarding treatment, insurance, and finances.

As the Maring Surgical communications coordinator, I oversee patient and referral office relationships. You may hear my name if you call our office to schedule with Dr. Maring, if you have any questions regarding insurance or treatment, or need assistance in any other areas of our practice. I truly enjoy patient care, as well as getting to know the many wonderful offices we work with. I have been lucky enough to call Maring Surgical home for over 5 years now!
