INCLEMENT WEATHER NOTICE

Our office follows the Lake Washington School District closure and late-start schedules when the area is experiencing heavy snowfall or other inclement weather; we also monitor surrounding school districts’ schedules to ensure that we are considerate of our wide-range of patients. On the days in which we decide to close the office or have a 2-hour delay in opening (9:30am start), we will have someone from the office call first thing in the morning to let you know. We strive to keep the safety of our patients in mind at all times!

Meet the Staff

We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice. We are pleased to welcome you and your family, and we look forward to working with you.

Jody, Dental Hygienist

I started as Dr. Van Der Sluys’ dental assistant in 2005 then later pursued my degree to become a hygienist. Everyone in this office is dedicated to a high standard of excellence, and though we love to have fun with our jobs, we take dental care very seriously. 

I am a proud mother of two daughters; we spend our weekends doing one sport or another. Both of my daughters, and my husband, race cars—they all love it! The girls also play soccer, softball, and love to swim in the pool.  As a mom it’s always great to jump into the fun with them, too!

Shari, Dental Hygienist  

I have been in dentistry for over 20-years! My job has shaped me in so many ways; I love meeting and caring for patients, learning about their life, background, and sharing stories!  

I also have a great passion for yoga, as it serves as an amazing centering and grounding point in life. I spent some time in Costa Rica, learning more about the culture and immersing myself with others who shared the same passion for yoga.

I am a proud mother of 3! I also love paddle boarding, hiking, and travelling whenever I can!

Kaylie, Auxiliary Personnel 

My position entails working in the operatories and at the front desk; I love that my job allows me to work with patients, and the team, in both capacities! Connecting with people has always been something that I have been passionate about, and entering the dental field has only made that passion grow. It also helps that our patients make it easy for me to love what I do.

I grew up in Europe where I picked up a few languages here and there and learned a lot about different cultures. In my free time I enjoy cooking, spending lots of time with dogs, and writing music about my life.
