I was born in Belarus and raised in Ukraine. I moved to Washington with my family in 1989. In my spare time I enjoy reading, roller blading, and spending time with my friends. I also love to travel.

I completed the dental assisting program at Eton Technical Institute in 2003. My main focus is patient care and comfort. Working and caring for people is why I enjoy being a dental assistant.

Hello, my name is Sam and I am a registered dental hygienist with seven years experience in the dental field. I was a dental assistant for 5 years before I went to dental hygiene school at Clark College, graduating in 2009. I then continued on with school and received my Bachelor's degree in dental hygiene from Eastern Washington University. I love working with people, helping them reach their hygiene goals, in a comfortable and caring environment.

In my free time I enjoy photography, traveling and spending time with friends and family.

I have been in the dental field for 13 years, 12 of those years right here with Dr. Tracy. I graduated Eton Dental Assisting program with honors and started assisting for Dr. Tracy in 1998. I made the transition to front office in 2002. I have taken many dental courses of study to keep me informed in the best ways to care for patients both clinically and financially.

In my off time I enjoy reading science fiction, going to the off leash parks with my Terrier Mutt, Sable, gardening, and family game night.

I have been in the dental field for over 11 years. I enjoy helping patients with their insurance and scheduling challenges. I have taken many continuing education classes to stay informed on the latest changes in dental insurance.

At home I enjoy spending time with my husband and son. I also have a miniature Labradoodle, Rufus, who keeps us busy.
