Sherri
Office Manager
Sherri has worked as a Dental Receptionist for over 34 years, and almost 30 of those years have been with this practice. As she is usually the first person and the last person that the patients see at their appointments, she has become a well known “fixture” in the office. Sherri truly values the relationships she has build with co-workers and patients over the years and is proud of the fact that her experience and knowledge is always appreciated.
Sherri spends her down time reading, cooking, gardening or spending time with her 2 sons.
Tammy
Certified Dental Assistant
Tammy graduated as a certified dental assistant (CDA) in 1995 and has been working in this practice ever since. She lives in Coquitlam and has raised 3 children there.
What Tammy likes most about her work as a CDA is that no two days, and no two patients, are ever the same. She enjoys building a personal relationship with the patients and considers her coworkers, both past and present, as some of her dearest friends. It’s the patients, friendly work environment and office values and vision for the future that keep Tammy happily coming into work each day.
