Meet the Clinical Team

Richelle

Registered Dental Hygienist

Hello, my name is Richelle and I am a registered dental hygienist. I’ve been working at Eastside Pediatric Dental Group since 2002. I started working for the doctors as a dental assistant, expanding my experience to the front desk as business coordinator, then going on to graduate from Columbia Basin College with my Associates in Dental Hygiene. I love working with children for their genuine spirit and humor. It is exciting for me to help children have a fun and educational dental experience.

​I love spending time with family. With two kids, my husband and I stay pretty busy. We love to take trips over the mountains, hike, snowshoe, bike and anything else that we can do together.

Blake

Dental Assistant

Hi, I’m Blake, and I am one of the Dental Assistants here at EPDG. My background is in customer service and I love kids. I’m excited to start my dental career here, and getting to work with kids is an added bonus.

I was born and raised in Washington and went to Redmond High School. In my free time, I enjoy sports! I played softball for 11 years, and still like going to sporting events and playing sports. I have a dog and a cat, and I love getting to spend time with my family. I am also a Foodie! I’m an adventurous eater and I love to get out and try new things!

Kristin

Dental Assistant

Hi! My name is Kristin. I joined Eastside Pediatric Dental Group in 2008 as a dental assistant. I love working with kids, and their parents, helping make the experience in our office a great one, and furthering their dental education. As a senior assistant, I also help facilitate the training of our new team members to support them in providing the best care for our patients.

Prior to working in the dental field, I worked for 18 years in the restaurant industry, and I continue to do this on the weekends. In my spare time, I enjoy relaxing and spending time with my husband, our animals, family, and friends.

Jose

Dental Assistant

Hi! I’m Jose, and I am a Dental Assistant at EPDG. I am thrilled to start my dental career with such a great company.

I am a lifelong Washington resident and graduated from Mount Si High School. In my spare time I like to play music, go to the gym and watch football (Go Seahawks!) I enjoy spending time with my friends and we like to play sports whenever we’re together. I played baseball for four years, and still enjoy it when I get the chance to play.

I live with my dog Jerry, a very active and friendly pomeranian who loves his treats!

Roberto

Dental Assistant

Hi! I’m Roberto, and I am a Dental Assistant at EPDG. I am excited to start my dental career with such a great company.

I have always wanted to work with kids and I took a dental assisting course at Puget Sound Skills Center. After that I decided that pediatric dentistry was where I wanted to work.

I am super close with my family. I was born in Mexico and most of my family is still there, but I am close with the family who are also here in Washington. When I’m not working I am a health fanatic and enjoy going to the gym and being outdoors in any season. I also enjoy watching anime, and I also paint and am into photography.
