Alicia
Registered Dental Hygienist
I’m a floss threading, pocket probing, root planning, enamel scaling, periodontal preventing, oral cancer screening dental hygienist! I love getting to know my patients on a personal level and seeing improvements in their oral health. Both Dr. Gary Tetrick and Dr. Jill Tetrick are passionate about dentistry and keep up on the latest technologies. Our team works hard, and we even enjoy spending time together outside of the office. At home, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Ray, and our three dogs. I like to read, jog, watch movies, and shop! Being with my family and friends is my favorite.
April
Financial Coordinator
I assist our patients with the financial aspect of their dental care, from general bookkeeping to insurance to treatment planning. I’ve worked here almost ten years, and assisting patients in achieving their dental health goals never gets old! We have a very cohesive work environment. We are all here for the same reasons, and everyone on our team really enjoys our jobs and each other! My husband and I have two awesome kids. We love spending time with family and friends; life is good!
Carolyn
Registered Dental Hygienist
I began my dental hygiene career over 35 years ago and was happy to join Dr. Tetrick’s team in 2001. Over the years, I’ve worked with many dentists, and I can honestly say that Drs. Gary and Jill Tetrick are some of the best! I enjoy working with patients on a one-on-one level in order to help them achieve ideal dental health. My husband and I own Norstar Boats, and I am the bookkeeper. I enjoy trail running, rowing, bike riding, and walking with my yellow lab named Oscar.
Claudia
Dental Assistant
For the past 13 years, I’ve assisted at the side of Dr. Tetrick with many of our patients’ procedures. With over 35 years of experience, I understand just how to make patients feel comfortable and at ease. It has been such a pleasure to spend my workdays with a wonderful and caring staff who all provide the best dental care to our patients. Our office is such a friendly, happy place, and I’m so glad to be a part of this team.
Debbie
Dental Assistant
I have been a proud member of this team for over 20 years. While I enjoy working with patients of all ages, I have a special affinity for working with our young patients. It’s so much fun to connect with children and watch them grow over the years. Everyone on our team loves what we do and shares a common interest in giving our patients a beautiful, healthy smile. I have lived in Bellingham my entire life and take great pride in the community. My husband of 27 years is also from Bellingham. We have three beautiful children and a brand new grandson. In my spare time I volunteer for the American Cancer Society and our local cancer center.
Jeanie
Front Office Coordinator
I am one of the first people our patients meet when they come into the office. From our front desk, I help to schedule appointments, answer calls, regulate patient flow, and process insurance billing and claims. I enjoy meeting new patients and helping to make their dental visits a good experience. The team here at Tetrick Family Dentistry is like a second family to me. Everyone looks out for each other and helps one another. I have been married nine years and have four great kids. My husband, Ernie, and I spend most of our time watching our kids’ sports, activities, and making family memories.
Jenny
Dental Assistant
I assist our doctors with many aspects of our patients’ care. In the few years that I have been here, I’ve really learned a lot, mostly from our team, but from our patients as well. It’s so much fun to get to know people and hear about new things in their life like awesome vacation spots and family adventures. Everyone in our office is so positive and fun, and we genuinely enjoy each other’s company. It is great to work with doctors and a team that perform great dental work in a happy work environment. Life isn’t just all work and no play. In my free time I like to work out, run with my sweet yellow lab, Gemma, and experience life with my fiancé, Zach.
Katie
Dental Assistant
As a fairly new member of our team, I’ve really enjoyed getting to know our family of patients and building relationships with them. A big part of being a dental assistant is knowing how to make patients feel as comfortable as possible, and that starts with trust! Our team is confident in their abilities to give our patients the best care possible. I am a proud new mother of a baby boy, and have two wonderful stepchildren. My husband and I enjoy camping with family and friends. Fitness is also a huge part of my life.
Marian
Registered Dental Hygienist
My career in dental hygiene began over 40 years ago, and I’ve been happy to be a part of Dr. Tetrick’s team for the past 20 of those years. It's a pleasure working at this practice. Dr. Tetrick and our team are fun people to be around, but at the same time, they are all very knowledgeable and experienced. I enjoy working with our patients, and making sure that they receive the best care possible for lifelong dental health. When I’m not in the office, I am the co-owner of Bullfrog Boats Inc. I am a sailor, gardener, and dog lover.
Mark
Lab Technician
It is very gratifying to know that the restorations I create in our lab help to return our patients to an ideal state of health. The most rewarding part of my job however, is getting to know our patients. I feel lucky to have a job that gives me the opportunity to work with such a diverse group of people. All of my co-workers share a common goal of working hard every day to help improve our patients' lives.
Monica
Scheduling Coordinator
I have been working at this practice, answering phones, assisting our new patients, and helping to schedule appointments, and each day I can honestly say that I enjoy what I do! I love talking with our patients, and seeing first-hand how great a smile can make people look and feel. Everyone here is so nice, fun, and easy to get along with. We are a great team, providing excellent patient care. I can easily say that I look forward to coming to work every day! I’m a proud mom of a terrific 12-year-old son. I enjoy spending my free time cooking, music, hiking, doing pretty much any outdoor activity, and watching my son play football.
