Meet the Team
KATHERINE
Office Manager
“I am always encouraged by our team’s enthusiasm and sincerity in service to our patients. This is the greatest team with which I have ever had the privilege to work.”
With rousing applause, Katherine joined our team at Atlanta Dental Solutions in 2009. She brought with her a broad spectrum of knowledge relating to office operations and organization. Understanding the importance of good oral hygiene herself, she is a true advocate for patients’ health and well-being.
Katherine’s warmth and kindness places patients at ease when discussing treatment needs. She will assist you through the process every step of the way. She wants you to know that we will do whatever we can to help you achieve your oral health goals.
Smile fact: Katherine is married to an actual rocket scientist - Carey!
GRACE
Patient Care Coordinator
“Seeing the changes good dental care can give to patients is very rewarding.”
Walk into our office and you’ll likely see Grace’s brilliant smile greeting you. She also happens to be the voice you’ll hear leaving a pleasant reminder about an upcoming dental visit. Grace is our patient care coordinator, whose aim is to help provide the best experience possible during your visit. In 2007, Grace joined our front office because she enjoys daily interaction with patients. Secretly, she carries an obsession with our office supplies (pens, nice stationary, linen envelopes, staplers, post-its).
Smile fact: By request only, Grace entertains others with excellent impersonations of friends, coworkers, and celebrities.
CARRIE
Hygienist
“During my 6 years of working here, I have seen only the finest and most beautiful type of dentistry that is available.”
Carrying on the family tradition (her father is a dentist and both her mom and sister are hygienists), Carrie graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BS in Dental Hygiene from the Medical College of Georgia in 2002. She decidedly pursued a career in dental hygiene because it gave her the opportunity to utilize her “perfectionist type of personality in a good way.” Carrie truly enjoys getting to know patients on a personal level so as to understand what is important to them.
Smile fact: On a daily basis, Carrie counsels patients on monitoring their sugar intake and being vigilant with acidic drinks. Ironically, Carrie trained at LeCordon Bleu in London & Paris to be a pastry chef and loves to drink wine.
PATTY
Hygienist
“It’s a good feeling to know that our patients are viewed as family members. We will always recommend the best treatment and follow through with the best treatment.”
Patty serendipitously joined the dental field almost 20 years ago. Since then, she attained both a BS in Dental Hygiene (Magna Cum Laude) from the Medical College of Georgia and a BS in Health Science with emphasis in Health Education from San Diego State University. Patty carries a keen interest for the oral health welfare of not only patients at Atlanta Dental Solutions, but also for the greater community at-large. Her passion for excellence is evident to anyone under her care.
Smile fact: Patty used to bowl for sport. She once donned personalized team shirts, penciled the bottom of her bowling shoes, and advocated the hand glove for the perfect roll to a strike.
Cheron
Assistant
“When we do cosmetic cases, it can change someone’s life.”
In 2006, Cheron became a Georgia Peach. She joined our office with over 15 years of dental assisting experience. It is often said by the dentists that she might as well have her name on the door. While educated as a registered dental hygienist, she opted to return to dental assisting because she missed being a part of the restorative aspects of dentistry. Cheron provides our office environment with constant laughter and warmth. Though she may work with a Gator and a Buckeye, she will always reply, “Roll-Tide”!
Smile fact: Cheron loves to sing chairside. Although it may not be in the ranks of Whitney Houston or Tina Turner, she always provides an encore if requested.
JESSICA
Hygienist
“I LOVE my co-workers and our office philosophy is one that I stand by 100%. We are here to help patients.”
Jessica is the classic over-achiever. She re-joined our team this year as a registered dental hygienist after graduating from the prestigious dental hygiene program at Medical College of Georgia. She used to be our office manager before deciding that her heart was really directing her to be a hygienist. Top honors and several scholarships later, Jessica is back to the office fulfilling a dynamic role that includes seeing hygiene patients, assisting Dr. Becker, completing lab work, and filling in as needed at the front desk. With a friendly smile and sweet southern drawl, Jessica's charming personality immediately puts patients at ease.
Smile fact: In her "spare" time, Jessica enjoys Steelers football, photography, monogramming, crafting, taking care of her puppies, and adding to her designer purse and car collection.
