Michael
Controller/Practice Manager
I am responsible for overseeing the operations of Go Dentistry to give patients a good experience, setting standards for the rest of our team, and promoting a well-organized and efficient practice. My favorite part of my line of work is not necessarily the logistics of what we do each day, though I love building processes, growing our people, and curating new targets for the team to achieve. Rather, what I love most about my job is the impact we have on our patients. I am passionate about building up a person’s future and providing them with the opportunity to achieve their dreams.
The love of my life has been the arts: music, dance, and theatre. It allows my creativity to wander wild and brings peace to my soul. Seattle has introduced me to culture in such a spectacular way, helping me gain too many pounds to count! Recently, I welcomed a fur baby into my life, Cleopatra, a Shih Tzu. She is unique in every single way and I love her dearly.
Candace
Registered Dental Hygienist
I began my career more than 25 years ago as a dental assistant and continued my education to become a dental hygienist in 2018. I’ve dreamed about this job since I was 18, and it finally came true! I take great pride in caring for my patients; their oral health is very important to me. Connecting with my patients and gaining their trust is the most meaningful part of my job.
I’ve been married for 17 years. We have a son in high school and a daughter in middle school, as well as a dog, two guinea pigs, and a ton of fish. In my time outside of work, I like watching my kids play lacrosse and soccer, camping and riding our motorcycles, traveling, and volunteering when I have the time. Family and friends always come first!
Kim
Registered Dental Hygienist
With nearly 20 years of experience, teeth are my passion! I love my patients and fighting the good fight in oral hygiene. My main goal is to help my paitents achieve their smile dream... Michael always says, a smile is a journey & keeping paitents on track driving forward is our prime objective. I couldn't agree more.
I have a wonderful family with two little monsters! They are my pride and joy! We love spending time outside, walking on the beach, and always enjoy a good photo session.
Art
Dental Assistant
I started at Go Dentistry as my very first job in the dental field, and I loved it here so much that I never left. I enjoy working with patients of all ages, but I especially love helping kids feel comfortable and cared for during their visits.
One of my favorite parts of dentistry is the mix of art and science. I love creating things with my hands, whether that means helping with lab work, crowns, or the little details that make a smile come together. Being part of this team has inspired me even more, and I’m currently studying with the goal of becoming a dentist one day.
Outside the office, I love spending time outdoors and finding new ways to be creative.
Ekra
Dental Assistant
I completed the dental assisting program at Renton Technical College and acquired my AAS degree in 2020. My job at Go Dentistry involves assisting our doctors with procedures including extractions, implants, fillings, crowns, and even Invisalign®! I love seeing the smiles I get to put on patients’ faces after every visit, and knowing I helped them. I enjoy working in the dental field so much that I recently decided to continue my education to become a dentist! Dr. Hu is an amazing mentor, which encourages me to become as great a dentist as he is.
I’m originally from Ohio but have lived in Washington almost my whole life. I enjoy reading and going on walks, and am bilingual in English and Somali!
Ramandeep
Dental Assistant
I completed the dental assisting program at Bryman College in 2007, where I became well versed in assisting with fillings, extractions, cleanings, crowns, and Invisalign®, just to name a few. My knowledge and experience makes me a great resource for our patients—I love when they ask me a question and I am ready with an answer! Dentistry is great because it allows me to meet all kinds of interesting people and help them live better, healthier lives.
Originally from India, I moved to California and then to Seattle, where I’ve lived for the past 17 years. I am married and have three wonderful children. In my free time, I enjoy being with my family and doing projects around the house. I am bilingual in English and Punjabi.
Yelena
Treatment Coordinator
I am a firm believer that preventive dentistry saves teeth; the most rewarding memories I have are from the 20 years I spent as a dental hygienist. Now, I make patients feel comfortable and at home when I schedule their next appointment. I love seeing a better, healthier smile at every visit.
My hobbies outside of work are gardening and my dogs. I love bringing in fresh flowers to work every day!
Priyanka
Patient Care Coordinator
I’m usually the first person you’ll meet and the one helping keep everything moving behind the scenes. I help coordinate your visits, answer questions, work through insurance details, and make sure you always know what’s happening next. My goal is to make your experience feel easy, comfortable, and personal from start to finish. Around here, you’re never just a name on the schedule — you’re someone we’re here to take care of.
Outside the office, I love spending time with my family, hanging out with my cats, and traveling whenever I get the chance.
