I have been a dental assistant for over 20 years. I graduated from Concorde Career Institute in Kansas City in 2003. I grew up in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan, but have lived in Kansas City for over half my life. When it comes to sports, I’m always rooting for both cities! But when they play each other, it’s Detroit all the way!
I started working for Dr. Ian during his first year as a dentist. I’ve always been impressed with his desire to keep patients out of his treatment room and working towards teaching them better hygiene skills. I really enjoy the creativity that dentistry allows me and love educating our patients on all things to make their dental health better.
When I’m not assisting Dr. Ian, I love spending time with my husband, Greg, our three daughters and two energetic grandsons. I am an animal lover. I enjoy being outdoors, especially in the mountains, hiking, and exploring new places.
Samantha joined the team in the summer of 2021. She grew up with her 8 siblings in St. Louis, MO where she graduated dental hygiene school in 2016 and followed her family to Kansas City soon after graduation. She’s spent the beginning years of her career in pediatrics and now enjoys seeing patients of all ages, giving the best advice on prevention so you can stay out of the treatment chair. Sam enjoys spending time with her husband and two young kids, reading, and keeping up with all the latest movies and tv shows. Don’t forget to leave your own hobby and pop culture recommendations for your hygienist!
