Julie
has been practicing hygiene in Apple Valley for
over two decades. She considers her patients friends and they appreciate her gentle touch. She provides individualized attention and is committed to education to ensure her patients receive the best dentistry has to offer. Let her introduce herself:
Hello, my name is Julie. I am a licensed Dental Hygienist with over 20 years of clinical experience.
When my previous employer of over eighteen years retired I was faced with finding another office where I could feel comfortable yet challenged in my daily work. I believe that I have found that here at Dr. Wakefield’s office. I’m excited to be a part of this great team!
My home is in Lakeville with my husband, two sons, and our dog Kirby. When we aren’t busy with school activities, we enjoy cooking and working outside in our yard. Yes, we’re those crazy people who actually enjoy yard work!
The
people
that
I
see
at
work
each
day
are
more
than
just
mouths
to
me.
I
truly
enjoy
learning
about
my
patients.
Dental
visits
are
much
more
fun
if
we
have
things
to
talk
about.
I’ve
truly
enjoyed
getting
to
know
each
of
you!
Cheri,
dental hygienist, has been keeping smiles healthy for almost twenty years. Her cheerful disposition and generous nature make her a valued friend as well as a cherished co-worker. Let her introduce herself:
I have been a dental
hygienist for over
twenty years and I
still love what I
do! Dr. Wakefield
and I have been
together for fifteen
years now and I hope
to be here many
more.
My latest
accomplishment has
been to come out of
my dinosaur years
and embrace new
technology. I was
terrified to learn
the recent
addition of digital
radiography to our
clinic, however, I
found out I could
really do it and
actually like it. I
have mastered the
computer navigation
and going to
paperless charting
can be fun!
My husband Bert and
I are enjoying our
empty nest. Our
newest adventure has
been 4-wheeling in
the woods up north.
We also enjoy
walking, traveling,
reading and our clan
of adorable
grandchildren.
My
chair-side
assistant,
Ashley,
is
our
shining
star.
She
is
just
the
soothing
voice
and
gentle
touch
you
want
to
experience
when
you
are
in
the
dental
chair.
Don't
let
her
youthful
appearance
fool
you...she
is
an
experienced
professional
who
is
constantly
on
the
go!
Let
her
introduce
herself:
Even
when
I
was
young,
I
knew
the
dental
field
is
where
I
wanted
to
be,
and
I am
very
happy
with
my
choice.
After
high
school
I
attended
Dakota
County
Technical
College
and
graduated
with
a
Dental
Assisting
Degree.
I
have
always
enjoyed
learning,
which
is
important,
considering
the
ever-changing
advancements
in
dental
technology.
I
enjoy
my
career
a
great
deal
and
I am
very
thankful
for
the
great
group
of
women
I
have
found
here
at
Dr.
Wakefield’s
office.
I
was
born
in
Duluth,
moved
to
the
cities
when
I
was
young
and
grew
up
in
Cottage
Grove.
I
now
live
in
Apple
Valley.
My
two
precious
girls
keep
me
very
busy
as I
try
to
balance
their
busy
lives.
We
take
frequent
trips
to
visit
our
family
in
Duluth
and
love
play
time
at
the
cabin.
I
look
forward
to
getting
to
know
each
of
you!
Euguenia
is
one
of
fewer
than
50
Registered
Assistants
in
Minnesota
to
have
Restorative
Function
Certification.
We
are
excited
to
have
her
assisting
chairside,
as
she
brings
with
her
a
wide
range
of
experience
in
dentistry
and
other
fields.
If
we
have
a
question
about
chemistry,
we
ask
her!
Let
her
introduce
herself:
My name is Genny. I have been in dentistry since 1983. Originally I am from Bulgaria, a small country in Southeast Europe, near Greece and Turkey. I worked in dental offices in my country and Sweden.
After traveling a lot with my family, we finally decided to settle down in Minnesota. From our first day we fell in love with the nature and the people here.
I have worked with Dr. Wakefield since moving to Minnesota almost a decade ago. I enjoy the friendships I have developed with my co-workers and I enjoy working with all of our patients.
I recently completed the requirements set forth by the Minnesota State Board of Dentistry to gain my licensure as a “Restorative Function” Assistant. There are fewer than 50 Registered Dental Assistants in Minnesota, with this designation. I am now able to restore teeth after the doctor has prepared them. I am excited about my new duties and find it very rewarding to assist Dr. Wakefield on a different level.
