Meet the Staff
Catherine
As the office manager, I enjoy meeting new people and learning about what brought them to the office. I also handle all insurance claims for patients, and manage each claim as if it were my own. I know that people can be apprehensive about seeing a dentist, and it is always rewarding when we can help someone get over their fear. My husband and I live on a small farm with three horses, two goats, three dogs, two cats and 12 chickens. We spend as much time as possible in the mountains with our friends, our horses, and our dogs.
Colleen
Welcome to our practice! I am a dental assistant, and also work in the front office. I enjoy talking with and getting to know our patients. Being able to share each other’s stories and happenings makes our patients feel more like family! My favorite part of my job is seeing a patient who is initially apprehensive and nervous become comfortable and at ease during their follow up visit. My husband, Joe and I have a combined family of 7 children. We were recently blessed with 2 grandchildren, Aurelia and Riley. I love to travel, work outside, scrapbook, decorate and spend time with my family.
Joyce
Hello, it’s nice to meet you! I work in the front office, and I always try to make patients feel welcome when they arrive. Spending over 25 years in the dental field makes me feel very comfortable discussing dental needs. I get great satisfaction from patients' compliments to Dr. Walter, his assistants and especially his hygienists. We have a very cohesive office. Our office is bright and cheerful with southern facing windows and a gorgeous saltwater fish tank. My life mate, Bob, and I have two sons and daughters in law, and one granddaughter, Jessica!
Mary
I graduated in 1999 from Shoreline Community College Dental Hygiene Program, and have been a dental hygienist ever since! I like to treat patients like they are part of my family, and try to make each visit as fun and comfortable as possible. My favorite part of my job is talking with my patients and getting to know them and finding out what is important in their lives. I have been married to Brian for 16 years and have two wonderful boys aged 10 and eight. My mom lives with us and we have a large Golden Retriever named Cody. We have a full house!
Deb
As a dental assistant, I always try to make our patients' experience very pleasant, and make sure they are comfortable while being treated. I have been working with Dr. Walter for over 12 years. I love my job and love being part of a team that enjoys changing the lives of so many people by giving them that perfect smile! It is a very fun experience to come to an office where the staff is like a second family. I have been married for almost 30 years, and my husband and I live in the Bothell area. We have two children and two cute little dogs.
Cindy
Welcome to our practice! I am a dental assistant here, and I have worked in dentistry continuously for 26 years! I enjoy getting to know the patients. After 12 years in our office, I’ve gotten to know many of them personally. I also enjoy the ‘hands on’ part of my job, such as fabricating temporary restorations, making custom trays and taking impressions. My family includes my wonderful husband and our two pugs. In my spare time, I enjoy camping, traveling and training for bike races and triathlons!
Kim
Hello! I’m one of Dr. Walter’s dental hygienists and I’ve been working in the dental field since 1987. I really love getting to know patients and helping them improve their periodontal health. Dr. Walter creates an efficient, relaxed work environment and our team always has fun and enjoys working together to give our patients the best care possible. My husband, Oscar, and I have two sons, Brandon and Adam, as well as a miniature pinscher named Strike. Outside the office I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, working out, and traveling.
Mindy
As one of Dr. Walter’s dental hygienists, I strive diligently to provide the highest quality of comprehensive patient care in the most trusting and comfortable manner possible. I joined the Mill Creek Dentistry team in October 2008, and I truly enjoy educating our patients on how they can achieve optimal oral health. I currently live in Everett with my husband, Jonah, and we recently added a chocolate Lab puppy named Hank to our family! I enjoy traveling with my husband, especially to Hawaii, camping, baking, scrap booking, and spending time with family and friends.
