Karleen - RDH

Karleen graduated from Lake Washington Technical College in 1997 with an Associates in Applied Science of Dental Hygiene. She has been married for 20 years to her husband and has one daughter. Karleen has a fondness for animals and enjoys her dog, Abby, and rabbit. She also spends the majority of her time home with her family.  

As a hygienist, Karleen prefers to educated patients, not lecture them. Her goal is to help patients keep their teeth for a lifetime. She looks forward to showing patients new tools, techniques, and products, as she learns them in her continuing education course work. 

Karleen is best known for being fairly quiet and focused, as she wants to perform the best, most thorough treatment. Her goal is to always make her patients comfortable.

“My favorite aspect of dental hygiene is being able to desensitize patient’s dental anxiety, and see that patient able to return again and again for maintenance.”
