We are honored to present our amazing dental team! Friendly and knowledgeable, our team is happy to take the time to get to know you and provide patient education so you know what to expect during your visits at Homestead Dental. We also have team members who speak Spanish.
For over fifteen years now, Lindsay has been our practice’s stellar office manager. Her extended time in the role has given her a lot of expertise in keeping our team functional. More crucially, she likes working with caring doctors and staff who prioritize patient care.
Though Lindsay grew up in Highlands Ranch, she has family all over the Denver area. She, therefore, enjoys hanging out with them in her downtime. Otherwise, you’ll find her pursuing hobbies like traveling and DIY projects. One fun fact about her is that she’s been a patient with us since she was six years old!
Carol is an excellent business assistant, one who’s worked with us for quite a while. In fact, she’s honed herself on the job for nearly thirty years now! The time was well-spent, however; she loves watching patients grow from tykes to adults and has built many friendships with them.
Of course, that almost-familial care extends to her real-life family, too. She’s lovingly raised her three children into well-formed grownups. More recently, she’s also gotten to dote on her granddaughter.
Between her roles as a dental assistant and front office helper, Erin has greatly contributed to our practice. She’s certified in the former job, after all, and uses her college degree to excel in the latter one. These efforts, in turn, allow her to enjoy easing patients’ anxiety and increasing their comfort levels.
Erin is a Colorado native, born and raised in Manitou Springs. She currently lives with her husband, son, and two wonderful dogs. Her hobbies are camping, boating, dirt bike riding, and yoga. Surprisingly, though, she’s never learned to ski despite living in Colorado her whole life!
Anny has worked as a dental assistant for over 20 years now. She thus has loads of training and experience, including X-rays and nitrous oxide certifications. Meanwhile, her efforts in continuing education have allowed her to improve her skills and stay relevant in the field. She’s happy to pursue that knowledge, though, as she finds helping patients exciting and purposeful.
Specifically, Anny hails from out of state – Anderson, Indiana. She spends her home life with her husband, college-aged son, and two corgis. At the same time, her delightful passions are hiking, walking, and outdoor exploration. On a calmer note, she’ll also read mystery novels and sometimes practice knitting.
Megan is one of our newer dental assistants, but she’s worked in the field for over seven years. Her certification from Pima Community College proves that she knows her stuff. Even now, though, she’s studying to get her associate degree and become a dental hygienist. Her hope is to continue working with patients and restore their confidence with a beautiful smile.
Having grown up in Littleton, Megan spends many off-hours with nearby family. That roster includes her boyfriend, son, brother, three step-siblings, and two dogs. She’ll go camping or to the dog park with them when possible.
In her nearly 25 years of dentistry work, Debbie has spent the last six as one of our top dental hygienists. That much is natural, as she has a Dental Hygiene degree from the University of Iowa and is CPR certified. This education allows her to connect with patients, making her job worthwhile.
Today, Debbie pursues a variety of hobbies outside the office. Chief among them is time with family, which includes her husband, three adult children, and granddaughter. That said, she’ll also pursue activities like running with her dog, hiking, reading, and watching college football.
Jenny is another of our team’s amazing dental hygienists. She’s been with us for over eleven years, further solidifying the knowledge gained from her degree at Forsyth School of Dental Hygiene. Despite the passage of time, though, she still loves working with our office’s supportive dentists and the gratification of a job well done.
Jenny is originally from Lynnfield, MA, so she’s traveled a bit to work with us. Today, she lives with her husband of 22 years, two sons, and two yellow Labrador Retrievers. When not in the office, you might find her walking her dogs, watching her sons play soccer, cooking, or visiting family back in Massachusetts.
Kalli is a great dental hygienist who’s been with us for the last thirteen years. Along with her dental hygiene degree from the University of Minnesota, she also has local anesthesia and CPR certifications. The result is that she’s well-equipped to build relationships with patients and help enhance their oral health.
Raised in nearby Highlands Ranch, Kalli likes to be with family when she’s not working. That’s only natural; she has a wonderful husband and three stellar kids. She’ll often join them on travel adventures to the beach, mountains, and wine country!
Kristan is a relatively new dental hygienist with our practice, yet she’s already made her presence known. That fact likely stems from her education at Parkland College and Eastern Illinois University. While studying at those schools, she earned a degree in dental hygiene and a Diode Soft Tissue Laser certification. Furthermore, she combines her knowledge with a love of helping people in the dentist’s chair.
Kristan is currently married and has three terrific daughters. She loves spending time with them, baking, reading, and walking her dog. A lesser-known fact about her is that her high school graduating class only had forty-one people, with a bunny as their mascot!
Susan is a top-tier dental hygienist who’s worked with our team for over 35 years. Naturally, her decades of experience make her very knowledgeable and skilled! She’s only improved in her work since she first graduated from Dental Hygiene School at Sheridan College. That boost has only helped her enjoy working with patients all the more.
Susan grew up with four sisters in Sheridan, Wyoming. Fortunately, three of them now live nearby in the Denver metro area. She loves spending time with them here in Colorado, not to mention playing golf and pickleball.
EXCELLENT Based on 7 reviews John Ifantis2019-08-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks judy and ravane for your persistence and knowledge to obtain a successful dental practice. We do understand the business model and how we can keep growth on a steady climb. We are blessed with your combined knowledge and experience. Merril Rowe2019-08-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Vanguard for a number of years earlier this decade. I was very pleased with the results that they helped me achieve. They got my marketing in order and boosted my new patient numbers tremendously. They gave me a template for staff positions and guidelines for when to hire more staff and at what positions. Most importantly, they helped train my office manager in the art and science of sales, freeing me up tremendously and greatly improving our case acceptance rates. In large part because of what I learned from Vanguard I have spent the last few years practicing part time and traveling the world. My practice practically runs itself! I don't even need to do the dentistry anymore. I believe that Vanguard can help almost any owner and practice achieve this level of success, and I strongly suggest that you contact them and build a practice that makes you free. Stefanie Shore Barber2019-07-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been working with Vanguard since 2011. Initially, they helped me put systems in place to help attract new patients and grow my practice. Their professional advice has helped me greatly and now my practice is a well-oiled machine. I still check in with Judy and the team monthly to monitor marketing and practice growth, and I like that they are always available to answer questions and give advice. Vanguard has been the only consulting company I've used and I feel comfortable depending on them to help guide me through future phases of my career. Kenneth Film2019-07-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. You know the book "7 Habits of Highly Successful People"? The theory is to be successful, just imitate those who are already successful. Vanguard has studied multiple highly successful practices and distilled their attributes into a blueprint for dental success. Just follow the blueprint for success. Vanguard helped us make changes in personnel, new patient flow and marketing. They covered all the bases with a special emphasis on the front desk. Their approach is logical and achievable and I thought their fees were very reasonable. Elizabeth Reiter2019-06-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have enjoyed working with Judy Marcus and the team at Vanguard over the last year. They have helped me integrate systems into my practice and improve the bottom line. I especially liked the online platform for training and the tracking of everyone in the office so I can see the progress and training of all my staff. Learning how to delegate and use an office manager was the biggest hurdle for me and their systematic approach helped immensely in understanding my leadership role and the role of the office manager in overseeing the day to day operations. I would highly recommend Vanguard for dentist out there who wants to improve their office and have less stress! Yuki Dykes2019-06-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vanguard was INSTRUMENTAL in helping me grow my practice and build the OFFICE OF MY DREAMS. They taught me the business side of dentistry as well that I never learned in dental school. I am forever grateful for them. Jacqueline O'Beirne2019-04-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started with Vanguard in 2010. Best decision I ever made! I was struggling with the practice operations, and they helped me to implement systems that really work! If you are not satisfied with your practice and need help, call Vanguard today! They are very accessible, friendly and will help you get the results you want :)
