The Team at Carly Peterschmidt Dentistry.
Stacey, a dental hygienist since 2012, was inspired by her mother (also a hygienist) to continue on from her original career of dental assisting to dental hygiene. We are so glad she did! Her patients commonly compliment her on her gentle, yet thorough technique with dental cleanings and she is an excellent advocate for her patients’ oral health. Stacey absolutely loves her profession and the opportunity to care for her patients every day.
It has been one of Lori’s greatest pleasures to serve patients as a Dental Hygienist. She graduated with honors from the Lane Community College Dental Hygiene program in 2003 and we are overjoyed to see how her years of expertise is positively impacting our team. She finds fulfillment in partnering with others to achieve oral and overall health, using gentle and comforting techniques. We are confident that Lori’s eye for excellence, in combination with her relatability, positivity and compassion, will win patients over!
Misty is dedicated to helping make the patient experience better! She is often the first you will talk to when you call or come in for an appointment and the last one to wish you well on your way home. Misty’s role in the office is to assist you in managing your dental appointments and to make things easier on you. She excels at connecting with people and is happy to be back in the dental field after taking time off to raise her children.
Melina’s main role is to help make it as easy as possible for you to achieve oral health financially. She helps facilitate communication between you, your dental insurance company (if you have one), and our office on your behalf. She helps review costs associated with dental treatment with patients and is available to clarify any questions patients may have about insurance, finances, and billing. Melina has a thorough understanding of dental insurance and finance and strives to help make the financial aspect of getting exceptional care easier for our patients.
Abby entered the dental field in 2014, after having earned her Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration in 2009 and working in the customer service industry with Ritz Carlton. She has an incredibly kind soul and is passionate about serving and connecting with people. She loves being present at the front desk to greet and assist patients. She strives to help make patients’ experiences positive and pleasant and she hopes you feel genuinely cared for at your visits.
Emily started working in dentistry in 2015 and has since become a master of her craft. As a dental assistant, she enjoys educating patients about dental treatment that is recommended for them, while building trust and providing a comfortable, positive experience. Emily is an incredibly warm person and we are certain you will enjoy getting to know her.
Sierra graduated Cum Laude from the University of Oregon in 2023 with a dual degree in Neuroscience and Human Physiology. During the pandemic, she had reached out to Dr. Carly to learn more about dentistry, and before we knew it, she was working in our office! She started her journey as a sterilization technician and now has her dental radiology certification and has been trained to dental assist with Dr. Carly during procedures. Sierra is very warm, calm, organized, and is an excellent conversationalist, which helps patients to feel comfortable and safe. Sierra will make an extraordinary dentist someday!
