Meet the Team
The Gordon Pediatric Dental team is a very talented and special group of human beings. They give of themselves to always create a positive experience for each child and family, and do so thoughtfully, kindly, and with great empathy. I respect each team member as a person and am constantly in awe at their ability to get things done, individually and as a group.
Our team, and our doctors, are united in our dedication to provide compassionate, comprehensive, and individual care to each child. We really listen, pride ourselves on communication, and strive to build a strong partnership with the parent, child, dentist, and team.
At our practice, every child is treasured for the wonderfully unique and dynamic person they are: we are committed to welcoming each with warmth, and caring for them as family!

Carla
Dental Hygienist
I love working with kids. They have the best stories and are so innocent!
Carla holds an Associates in Applied Science and has been with our practice since 1994. She cleans teeth, applies fluoride, takes X-rays, and educates and motivates children and parents to take care of each child’s oral health.
Carla has been married for 15 years and has three boys, plus two dogs (Miley and Brinley) and two cats (Sox and Finn). She enjoys watching and supporting her sons’ seasonal sporting activities and loves playing Candy Crush.
Briana
Dental Hygienist
I love meeting new families and building relationships and trust with all of our patients.
Briana entered the dental field in 2006 after earning her associates degree and joined our practice in 2022. She chose the dental hygiene path so that she would always have the ability to keep a healthy work / life balance. Teaching good homecare, creating an environment where kids feel comfortable, cleaning teeth, applying fluoride, and taking x-rays are the services she provides most often.
In her downtime, Briana loves spending time with her family, being on the lake, and taking vacations.
Erica
Dental Assistant
I love helping children take care of their teeth. I try to make it fun and teach them the importance of oral health!
Erica has worked in the dental field since 1999 and joined our team in 2020. She assists the doctors with a range of clinical procedures and also educates patients and parents about oral health and developing good dental hygiene practices.
Erica and her wonderful husband of 22 years enjoy their time together and with family. Erica also enjoys cooking, gardening, Pilates, walking, and her cats. Every year she looks forward to participating in the 5K for Breast Cancer, too.
Rachael
Dental Assistant, Administrative Staff
I love spending time with the kiddos and helping them achieve the confidence that they need in the dental chair!
Rachael started in the dental field in 2010, is X-ray certified, and assists the doctors with different clinical procedures. She also teaches patients and families about oral health and the importance of establishing good dental hygiene habits.
Rachael is married and mom to a beautiful baby boy. She loves spending time with family, exercising, and snuggling with her cats.
Feona
Dental Assistant, Sterilization Assistant, Administrative Staff
I enjoy wearing multiple hats in the office, as it gives me a change of pace moving to different positions during the day. Most of all, though, I enjoy watching the children in our office grow and mature!
Feona attended Dental Assisting School, started in the field in 2001, and joined our office in 2005. She assists the doctors during clinical procedures, runs our sterilization lab, and performs administrative duties as needed.
Feona is a bird-lover: whether she’s feeding them here at the office (there are a bunch who wait for her to put out food) or filling her feeders at home, she loves watching their antics. She also loves watching hockey (Go Rangers!) and having a glass of wine on her deck while enjoying the outdoors
Carrie
Office Manager, OR Scheduling Coordinator, Financial Coordinator
I love working with patients and parents, helping them with financial questions, and putting all the numbers together!
Carrie started in the dental field in 2002 and joined our practice in 2013. She processes and submits insurance claims, issues billing statements, and handles collections and patient accounts.
Family keeps Carrie busy outside of work. She has a 13-year-old son and 9-year-old twins (a boy and a girl), so the family is always on the go. She and her husband also foster dogs, and the family dogs, Buster and Buddy, love to meet and play with his foster brothers and sisters. Carrie loves to run, hike, and take their camper all around.
Chanell
Administrative Staff
I love the day-to-day interactions with the children and their parents! Every day brings something new and exciting!
Chanell started working in the dental field in 2014 and joined our team in May of 2022. When visiting us, you will find her checking patients in and out, answering phones, and scheduling appointments. Occasionally, you will hear Chanell belting out the lyrics to the song on the radio or twirling around the front office spreading some razzle dazzle happiness.
Chanell loves to cook for her family. If she’s not cooking or working, she can be found lounging on a beach with her 3 children.
