Katey
I have been an employee at the Center for Endodontics for 13 years. I am a Registered Dental Hygienist and I graduated from the Pierce College Dental Hygiene program in 2002. I specialize in anesthetizing patients comfortably and profoundly for their treatments here at our office. I also meet and evaluate new patients and perform radiographic and clinical imaging to assist in diagnosis for treatment planning. I am married and have a 2-1/2 year old son. We are expecting a baby girl in early July. One of our favorite places to getaway is Cannon Beach, Oregon where we celebrated our wedding 6 years ago. My husband and I absolutely love to travel and are certified scuba divers. For now our tropical adventures are on hold while we raise our young children. You can find our family out on our boat, camping, playing at parks, and hanging out at our place enjoying the company of our friends and family.

Julie
Hello, my name is Julie and I am a certified and registered dental assistant. I have been teaming with Dr. Jason West for 11 years. My role at The Center is to assist with dental procedures and from time to time give assistance to the front office. Away from The Center for Endodontics you will find me spending time with my Husband, my 10 year old German Shepherd and my 3 year old Cat. Some activities I enjoy are: snow skiing and hiking. I am passionate about being healthy and my family and friends would consider me a bit of a health nut. What I love most about my job is getting to know patients on both a personal as well as professional level. I look forward to meeting you.

In my time away from the Center for Endodontics, I enjoy doing something with my two Australian Shepherds, whether it’s a walk at the park or taking them to herding class.
