Diane W. (Office Manager)
I have been employed at Laser Dental Associates since 1979. I graduated from Macomb Community College with an Associate’s Degree in 1979. I started working at Laser Dental Associates in 1979 as a dental assistant and was promoted to office manager in 1997. My family consists of me and my son, Vince. Vince is currently a junior at Siena Heights University. He received an athletic scholarship to play baseball in 2008. He is a member of the Varsity baseball team at Siena, and is majoring in Criminal Justice and plans on pursuing a career in criminal law. In my spare time I enjoy visiting my son up at school and attending his baseball games, I also enjoy traveling to different places and shopping.

Lisa L. (Hygienist)
I have been a hygienist at Laser Dental Associates since 2001. Having been in dentistry since 1981, I started out as a dental assistant, then advanced as a hygienist after I obtained my Bachelors Degree in Dental Hygiene from the University of Detroit in 1996. I have a passion for what I do, but enjoy it even more since I started working here. I strive to provide quality and gentle care and your experience with me will be as comfortable as possible. I have furthered my dental education and am now certified in administering local anesthesia. Children really enjoy coming to see me, because I know how to make their visit fun. I have two children. My daughter Angela graduated from Oakland University in 2009 and is employed with the Turning Point of Macomb County. My son Dominic is in his second year of college pursuing a business degree. My husband Rick has an engineering degree and is employed with Detroit Edison. He has two daughters, Stephanie and Rachel.

When I am not busy with my career here, I enjoy traveling and playing golf. I hope to soon travel to a third world country and volunteer my dental profession to the less fortunate.

Vanessa R. (Hygienist)
I am a dental hygienist at Laser Dental Associates. I have been working at Laser Dental since I graduated from O.C.C. in 1991. During high school and college I worked as a dental assistant for five years. My experience as an assistant led to my career choice as a hygienist. As a hygienist I hope to educate each patient for improved dental health. I am compassionate and take pride in being very gentle and yet thorough. My goal is to make every patient feel comfortable and have a great experience.

I am married and have two children. My husband, Michael is a lead designer in the auto industry. My son, Christian is in middle school. Christian plays electric guitar and is starting lacrosse. My daughter, Rachel is in elementary school. Rachel loves to play sports.

In my spare time I love to be with my family. We like to see movies, swim, ride bikes, and hang out with our friends.

Anna S. (Assistant)
I have lived in Michigan for less than ten years. I moved here from Seattle, WA where I grew up and went to school for my Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry. I've been working in dentistry for over twenty years. Almost half of my career was focused in Pediatric Dentistry, where the patients are not just children, but people with disabilities and special needs. I have many years experience assisting with dental surgeries and implant restorations. The thing I enjoy most about working in dentistry is the opportunity to meet and get to know the large variety of patients.

When I'm not working, I enjoy being outdoors, playing and watching sports, but most of all I'm a foodie. I enjoy cooking, creating new recipes and most important, eating. Now that my daughter, Alexandra is a sophomore at MSU I want to focus my free time on traveling.

I am excited that I have joined the Laser Dental team. The Doctors' and my co-workers make it not a job, but a second family.

In my free time, I enjoy my two beautiful kids and my wonderful husband. I love to read, exercise, cook and spending time with my family and friends.
