Myisha

Office Manager

I feel so honored to work with this group of ladies. I have worked in the dental industry for almost ten years and I have been on Dr. Rhonda Savage’s team for about a year. I am the voice on the other end of the phone when you call and the first face you see when you visit our office. I really enjoy my job as the scheduling coordinator and connecting with patients every day.

When I am not at work, I enjoy time with my hubby and sometimes our (adult) children. I have two grandkids who are my world and I love to spoil them.

Come Visit Me!!

Erin loves to spend time with her dog Brody and is an amazing photographer! Recently engaged and new to the area, Erin is a great addition to our team! “The thing I love most about dentistry is my patients. I love building a relationship with each patient individually and being with them each step of their treatment.”

Dental Hygienist

Karilyn came on board as a hygienist in this fine practice last year and is honored to be a part of this amazing team. She has been a dental hygienist for almost thirty-three years and has worked in general dentistry, periodontics, and pediatric dentistry. While in college she worked as a dental assistant in general dentistry and orthodontics. The most satisfying part of dentistry to her is when patients make changes that improve their overall health and well-being. She is married to Dave, and they have three grown children.

Her hobbies include playing with their awesome cats, reading, gardening, dancing, and boating.

Dental Assistant

When I was ready to start my journey as a dental assistant, Dr. Savage was there to guide the way. I have learned more than I could have imagined since day one of joining the team. I love getting to know each and every patient and learn new things I would have never known. On my free time I like to explore new places, experiment with interior design, and read lengthy novels.

I am a Washington State University Honors College student majoring in Biology and will graduate in Spring 2023. I have wanted to be a Dentist since I was 8 years old and will be taking a gap year to apply to Dental school and gain more experience in the field. I have worked for Dr. Savage since June of 2021 and am excited to see what else she has to teach me!

Dental Assistant

In my spare time, I love to paint and take walks to enjoy scenic Washington. I am so honored and grateful to be a part of Dr. Savage’s team! I have been given a wonderful opportunity to have hands-on learning with patients every day. Dr. Savage is such a wonderful teacher and has helped me come so far as a dental assistant and I can’t wait to continuously learn and grow. I am very much a people person – so I absolutely love getting to know our patients and making them feel as comfortable as possible! I am a mom of 2 beautiful little girls, 4 and 7, who are a huge motivation for me to succeed and always better myself. On the days I’m not in the office, my girls and I love going to the park, and spending time with family and on those rainy days we love doing arts and crafts!
