Marcia

Office Manager

I am one of the first smiling faces our patients see when they come into our office.  I take care of all financial and insurance aspects of dental treatment to help everyone get the smile they deserve.  I have been with Oates Dental since April 2013. I love and appreciate the positive environment and attentive care Dr. Oates and the team strive to provide each patient.

My husband and I have two married sons and three Grandchildren.  When I am not at the office I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.  Whether watching my grandchildren play their sports or cruising the Rock River, I truly love my life. 

Jody

Dental Hygienist

As a registered dental hygienist in the practice, I bring more than two decades of experience.  I have been working with Dr. Oates since 2012. Preventing and treating oral diseases and helping patients maintain their oral health is my focus. While cleaning a patient’s teeth is what I am most known for, I also provide periodontal assessments, periodontal therapy, apply sealants and fluoride, and perform oral cancer screenings.  I love that my job lets me really get to know each person, as they share stories about their lives, families, and hobbies. 

 
Rachael

Dental Hygienist
Although I am new to the office, I have worked with Dr. Oates for many years at his school program.  I enjoy meeting new patients and teaching about oral health.  I am so passionate about dental hygiene that I invented the  the “FitsBrush”.  I look forward to meeting you.

Tracy

Receptionist/School Program Director

I am the first person you see when you arrive at Oates Dental! Besides answering the phone and booking appointments, I enjoy getting to know our patients. Originally I started as part of Oates For Kids, the school based dental program. I collaborate with Health Services for RPS 205, administration and nurses at the school level.  I also interact with many of  the students to see they get the dental care they need.  I enjoy having the opportunity to be involved in the philanthropic portion of Oates Dental.  While the days we are in the schools are a lot of work for everyone, it is fulfilling to see everything come together and so many students be treated.

Sabrina

Dental Assistant

I really enjoy helping patients with their overall oral health and supporting them as they gain confidence in their smile! My days involve patient care, handling sterilization and laboratory duties, and inventory management.  I work chair-side with Dr. Oates to examine and treat patients.  I put forth great effort to keep our patients comfortable before, during, and after treatment.  Although I am the newest member of the Oates Dental team I have 20 years of experience in the industry, and look forward to many more.

Ashley
Dental Assistant/Office Worker

I have been with Dr. Oates for the past year.  I work as an assistant when we visit the schools.  Other times you can find me busy on the computer preparing our paperwork before we go to the schools.

I am responsible for maintaining the stability and performance of the equipment to support the business’ daily operations.  I also move, load, unload and set-up the dental materials when Oates Dental makes visits to schools.
