Most people meet Dr. Kathie when they’re sitting in the dental chair… but her story actually started long before Elma Family Dental. 🦷
Before becoming the dentist many of you know today, she worked her way through almost every role in dentistry. She started as a dental assistant, became a hygienist, went back to dental school, and even served as a dentist in the U.S. Army at Fort Lewis caring for troops and their families.
Safe to say… she knows teeth from every angle.
Around here, she’s known for her calm approach, her experience, and the way she truly cares about this community. She’s also a proud mom, and if you’ve been in the office you might have seen her son Geored, who works here as a dental assistant.
When she’s not helping patients smile brighter, you’ll probably find her traveling or hiking with her husband Mike.
We’re lucky to have her leading the team and caring for the Elma community. 💙
