Meet our wonderful front office team members: Sandy, Dawn Marie, Kathy, and Giorgie
Sandy, Office Manager
I feel very blessed to be a part of this amazing team! For more than 25 years I've worked in the dental field, and I've never worked with such a great group of people as I do at Today's Dental. My job as office manager is to ensure that our practice always provides top-quality dental care and customer service to you, our patient. On a more personal note; I was born in Illinois and moved to Phoenix with my parents when I was a teenager; so Phoenix has been my home for quite awhile! My husband Joey and I have two sons, Joseph and Nick, and two daughters, Jaime and Emily. We also have a very spoiled pug named Daisy. We enjoy camping, riding quads, hiking, and riding our Harleys!
Dawn Marie, Patient Services Supervisor
I love my job as the patient services supervisor because I get to interact one on one with our patients. I also love working with such a great team, where we're not just a staff that has to work with each other day in and day out, but a big family that gets along and supports one another. I began my dental career as a dental assistant in 1989 in Northern California where I was born and raised. I have worked at Today's Dental since 2001 when I moved from Austin, TX to Arizona. At Today's Dental I am responsible for treatment planning and patient check out. When I'm not at the practice, I enjoy spending time with my family. My husband and I share our house with our two "fur babies," Rex and Shadow, who we rescued and adore very much.
Kathy, Patient Services
I have worked in the dental field since 1993 and came into it quite by accident because a friend needed someone to fill in for his front office and I accepted the challenge. I love helping people with their dental needs and look forward to helping you! My husband, Larry, and I came to Arizona from Washington, A.C. (Above California) in 2006 when, after 20 years of my saying no to his wanting to move here I said "maybe" and eight months later I became a resident of this beautiful state!!! I joined the wonderful Today's Dental staff in early 2009 and feel it a privilege to work with such a great and supportive team. I have been impressed with the focus and special attention of every team member to make each patient feel well-cared for beginning with their first phone call and continuing each and every time they call or come for a dental visit. It is a pleasure to work with such dedicated and caring professionals! Larry and I have four sons (Todd, Ty, Trent, & Jacob) and one daughter (Serina) and will soon have 13 grandchildren! In my spare time I can be found researching our family history and discovering our ancestors and their stories. I also volunteer as a transcriber for census records and other documents online and have indexed more than 16,000 names so far. Another favorite pastime is card making. I like to make a special card for each family member's birthday. Also Larry and I love working with the Young Single Adult program in our church. We have a cat named Snickers who is six years old and two dogs - Lady, a 10 year-old Cocker Spaniel mix and Duchess, an English Springer Spaniel born in September 2008.
Giorgie, Patient Services
Making a difference in peoples' lives is what I thoroughly enjoy! I have worked in the dental field on and off since 1985, and it's still such a pleasure to work one-on-one with patients and their families. Helping bring smiles to peoples' lives is just one of the reasons I have always enjoyed working in customer service, it's truly a rewarding experience. I began working in customer service as a front desk office coordinator where I greeted patients. I also started my own successful business, and worked as a flight attendant for five years. I was eventually drawn back to the dental profession by my love for helping others. I have been happily married now for almost 18 years to my wonderful husband Scott. Scott and I have two children, our son Jacob, and our daughter Isabella. Our kids are very active in sports, and in our free time we love to travel as a family down to Mexico.
Meet your Today's Dental treatment assistants: Chris, Yhony, and Jan
Jan, Treatment Assistant/Back Office Supervisor
There are so many things I like about working at Today's Dental. For one, we truly care about our patients and the teamwork here is unbelievable (there is no "I" in "Team" here)! I love working with all of our patients, and making sure they feel comfortable at Today's Dental is an awesome challenge. I have worked in the field of dentistry for 27 years (wow, I am dating myself) and have been with Today's Dental for 20 years. My fiancé Tommy and I have six furry kids: Brody, Isabelle, Kasey, Maggie, Max, and Charlie. We also have two birds named Baxter and L.B.; we definitely have a full house! I was born in Glasgow AFB, Montana, and hope to go back there someday. I have lived in Arizona since 1977 where my dad was stationed at Williams AFB (I'm definitely an Air Force Brat). I consider myself a native Arizonian. Outside of the office, my passion is playing softball, but when I can't play ball I enjoy watching NASCAR racing. My favorite driver is #9 Kasey Kahne (GO KASEY)!
Yhony, Treatment Assistant
I really enjoy being part of the Today's Dental team and helping patients get the best treatment. For over four years I have been a dental assistant, and each year I enjoy meeting all the new patients and growing in my knowledge of the dental industry. I am originally from Guatemala but I grew up in Arizona. Outside of the office I love playing soccer and watching pro-football. I also really love to dine out.
Christina, Treatment Assistant
I have worked at Today's Dental for almost six years and I enjoy working alongside Dr. Farran treating patients and doing wisdom teeth extractions. I have been a dental assistant for 17 years and still enjoy learning all the new and changing technology in the dental field. I grew up in Eloy, AZ and married my high-school sweetheart. We have three children ages 24, 18, and 14. I love being active after work and on weekends whether it's working out at the gym or hiking or walking my three dogs.
Meet your dedicated dental hygienists: Sara, Brandy, and Jaimie
Jaimie, Registered Dental Hygienist
I love working at Today's Dental because of the fun and professional working environment and the friendly and caring staff. I have worked in the dental field for eight years and as a registered dental hygienist for five years; and I began working at Today's Dental in 2006. I enjoy working with our patients to help them achieve a clean, healthy smile. I was born and raised in Sahuarita, AZ and have lived in Phoenix since 2006. I have a three-year-old boxer named Ruby. In my free time I enjoy going to the lake, the beach, or any place where there's water. I enjoy reading, spending time with friends and family, and watching NASCAR racing.
Sara, Registered Dental Hygienist
I have been with Today's Dental since 2007 and every day I enjoy working with such a great staff in a friendly environment. I enjoy working with others, educating my patients, and providing the best care possible. I was a dental assistant for the Department of Health in the state of Utah for five years and I'm a recent graduate from Mesa Community College's School of Dental Hygiene. I will be attending Northern Arizona University's online degree completion program in the fall in order to receive a Bachelor's degree in dental hygiene. I am a native of Arizona and grew up in Queen Creek. I lived in Utah for seven years and have been back in Arizona for four. I have one younger brother and a three-year-old poodle named Rocky. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and when I'm not at work I enjoy attending sporting events (GO CHARGERS), going to the movies, camping, any type of travel, and riding motorcycles with my dad.
Brandy, Registered Dental Hygienist
I've always found the practice of dentistry a fun and interesting practice because I get to meet so many new people and I'm constantly learning all sorts of new information. My favorite thing about Today's Dental is the professionalism and efficiency with which we operate. We have fun but we always make sure our patients are taken care of first. I was born in Germany (I'm an Army brat), but I've spent most of my life here in the great state of Arizona. I have moved all around the state, but I've been living here in Phoenix for the last six years. I currently reside in Ahwatukee with my boyfriend, Jason, and my cat, CJ. I have no family here in Arizona so that gives me a good reason to travel and go visit other parts of the country. I have worked in the field of dentistry for about six years but grew up in a dental office all my life. My stepfather was a dentist for many years along with my mother who has been an office manager/dental assistant.
