We’re on a mission to change the world one smile at a time, so rest assured that you’re in good hands with our team!
I have been in dentistry since 2013. I began my career as a dental assistant and have over 10 years of dental assisting experience. My current role is a Business Assistant where I enjoy helping, educating, and interacting with patients. I have been with Cornerstone for one year in our Camanche location and love our community!
Cornerstone treats their staff and patients with the core values of Family First, the Golden Rule, and Willing to Wash the Dishes. The one that has meant the most to me is Family First. There’s only one word that comes to mind when it comes to this core value and that word is grateful. I am grateful that I have the flexibility and support to put my family first!
I currently live in Savanna, IL with my husband, Sean, and our three children, Garrett, Autumn, and Lucas. We also have two cats named Bandit and Smokey. In my free time I enjoy going to my children’s sporting events and spending time with my family.
My hope for our patients is that they can see how passionate we are about what we do and that we take our time to build a relationship of trust with them. We want our patients to feel confident and comfortable that they are receiving the best dental care.
I have six years of experience as a Registered Dental Assistant, and have spent the last two years at Cornerstone working as a Business Assistant and at times an RDA as well. My experience as an RDA has given me insight to all aspects of the office so I am able to help our patients from start to finish and understand the process from all perspectives.
The core value that means the most to me is ‘Family First’. I have never been in a work environment where I was able to pour myself into my children as much as I have in the past two years. I have missed many doctor’s appointments, school events, sporting events, etc. in the past due to the long hours and expectations of most employers. Since working for Cornerstone I have not missed a single thing for my children. Not only has it improved my quality of life but it has strengthened my relationships all around. I am incredibly grateful to work for people who value you as a person and not just an employee. I see this value being poured out onto our patients as well in the way we handle treatment and care for the families that come into our offices.
My family includes my other half, Kyle, our two children, Payton and Paxton, and our dog, Pixie. I earned my dental assisting certification in 2018 after attending Dental Assisting Technology in Moline, IL. I started working as a dental assistant in 2019 but eventually I wanted a better work life balance which led me to Cornerstone Family Dentistry in 2022.
I hope our patients can truly feel comfortable and at ease when coming into our dental office. There are a lot of people who are fearful of the dentist but my hope is that we can help break that barrier and are able to provide proper treatment to all.
I graduated with an AAS in Dental Hygiene from Parkland College in 1995 and worked in the dental field since that time. I have been a full-time hygienist with Cornerstone Family Dentistry since February 2022 and love working in the Camanche community!
The Golden Rule is the most important core value here at Cornerstone- treating others as you would like to be treated. It is truly amazing to work with an entire team that all value one another and treat each other with respect and compassion. Someone who feels appreciated will always do their best and we all appreciate one another. Our patients get the benefit of this!
I have been married to my husband, Tad, for 28 years and have two children: Taylor (forever 22, 1999-2022), and Kyle. We have two Australian Shepherds, Faith and Bailey, and our daughter’s horse, Ace. When I am not at work I like to exercise and spend time outdoors with my family. We love fishing, camping, kayaking, and riding side by sides.
My hope for our patients is to obtain a trusting relationship while making them feel comfortable, and to educate them with knowledge and strategies to maintain their dental health between cleanings.
In my four years as a Registered Dental Assistant I have spent two years of that time with Cornerstone. I work in our Camanche office and enjoy the patients and my co-workers very much! I sometimes work in our other offices as needed and have gained a lot of experience during my time with the office. We do a lot of different procedures like implants and frenectomies (tongue-tie releases) so I’ve been able to grow a lot over the last two years.
The value at Cornerstone that means the most to me is The Golden Rule because we all respect one another in the workplace and treat others the way we would want to be treated. This results in a very pleasant work environment for us all, and the best care possible for our patients! We truly are all like family here- whether you are an employee or a patient!
In my personal life I am a dog mom to my two Australian shepherds, Baylor and Maybelle. I am also a small business owner. When I’m not at the office or sitting at the sewing machine, I enjoy many ice cream dates with my boyfriend Adam.
My hope for our patients is that each individual is treated with the utmost care and kindness. We understand that the dentist is not a desirable place for most and it is our job to be certain that we provide a comfortable environment for everyone.
I received my dental assisting degree from DMACC in 2000 and have worked for 24 years in the dental field, with the last 10 years at Cornerstone. I recently went back to school to obtain an Expanded Functions Level II certification from the University of Minnesota and completed that in the fall of 2023. This certification allows me to perform more in-depth procedures within our office and has taught me so many things about how to better care for our patients.
A Core Value at Cornerstone that has greatly impacted my life is Family first. Our office hours give me the flexibility to spend more time with my family. This also allows me to attend school functions and sporting events. I can do my best for my family and our patients and don’t have to choose one over the other!
I live in Clinton, IA with my husband, Elijah, and our son, Kannon. We also have three grown daughters: Syrene, Jade, and Ravae. When I’m not at work I enjoy reading (listening to audiobooks), working out, traveling, and spending time with my family and dogs.
I always hope that our patients feel we provide nonjudgmental care, and that we’re making top-quality dentistry affordable.
I have 7 years in the dental field (all at Cornerstone) with a previous history in healthcare administration. In a nutshell, I oversee the operations for all of our practices from patient satisfaction, to human resources, to project management. Most dental offices have traditional office managers but with the demands of organizing the operations of 3 offices, we operate differently. We have incredible Business Assistants and teams at each location to serve our unique communities. My role is to help build the best teams and processes in our offices and partner with our owners to provide the best and most sustainable care we can for our patients!
My life has been completely changed by working in an environment where The Golden Rule is at the heart of what we do. I try to consider how my attitude and decisions impact those around me. I’ve found that when the focus of life can be treating others with kindness, respect, and even (a lot) of grace and humor, the rest just falls into place. I get to show up every day as the truest version of myself, surrounded by a group of genuinely amazing people!
I was born out of state but moved to IL, where I currently live with my husband of many years and my two boys. Some people have hobbies they enjoy – I enjoy just about anything – as long as I’m with my family! I love making my house a home, by the way it feels when you walk in, to the food I make for loved ones. I live my life with faith at the center and I strive to walk that faith out in my personal life and my time at the office.
I love to brighten someone’s day! Oftentimes I do this with humor (I am silly by nature). This includes our patients at times, but it ultimately starts with our team members. I truly believe that in order for our patients to have a positive experience, our team members must first feel genuinely positive about what they are doing. All of us at some time or another have background noise in our lives – it might be grief, finances, relational stress, the list goes on. As a leader in the practice, my top priority is to relate well to the team and our patients with the hope that their lives may somehow be improved by our interactions!
My name is Yogi. I was born in 2022 and adopted by my wonderful family, the Hochgesangs. My mom saw my potential at a young age and immediately enrolled me in the prestigious training program from Speak Dog where I earned a canine good citizen certificate. I applied for a job in the family business and was hired following graduation as the Director of Patient Services-animal.
When I’m not working with my mom I enjoy long walks, running, and anything that smells questionable. Through the years I have been a support to patients and co-workers with my sweet and calming demeanor. I love to rest my head in the laps of nervous patients and comfort anyone having a hard day. I also love when children (and other animal lovers) just want to say hello! The only real challenge I have on the job is the UPS guy, but I’m working with my supervisor to improve my communication in that area so I can be the best version of myself for you!
At Cornerstone we are focused on Core Values. My favorite is, ” Willing to Wash the Dishes”. I have a solid track record of doing everything I possibly can to clean up dishes left unattended- whether they are where I’m supposed to be or not!
If you love dogs as much as I love humans, request to see me in any of our three office locations! I would love to meet you!
