Joyce - I graduated the NICC dental assisting program in 1988 and expanded function program in 2005. I have worked for Dr. Kramer for 19 years.

I'm married, have two grown sons, and 7 wonderful grandchildren. My hobbies are spoiling grand kids, quilting, reading, and spending time with my friends.

Maria - I have been in the dental field for 30 years. I am a certified dental assistant and a registered dental assistant.

I have a passion for what I do, being both a perfectionist and someone who pays close attention for details.

I work in the front office and will greet you with a smile.

Sue - I am a registered dental hygienist with a B. S. degree. I have 30 years experience which helps me treat each patient. Over the years, I have enjoyed lasting relationships with many wonderful people.

My priority is to educate each patient so they are equipped to make informed choices regarding their dental treatment. As partners, we can accomplish optimal periodontal health, excellence in restorative procedures, and achieve the fabulous smile that everyone deserves.

My free time is spent with my husband of 30 years, and visiting our two sons in college, whenever possible.

Amanda - I've been a hygienist with this office for over 5 years. I'm a 2002 graduate from Hawkeye Community College.

What I enjoy most about my profession is the interaction I have with each patient that comes through the door. My peppy personality helps to put patients at ease. My ultimate goal is helping achieve optimal dental health. (Wait until you hear my 'Floss Lecture!)

Angie - I have worked here in the office as a dental assistant since 1999. I am certified, as well as being registered with the state of Iowa as a dental assistant. I have also taken additional training and am certified in expanded functions.

I am married and have three kids. I enjoy spending time outdoors camping and hiking with my family.

Wende - I've been in the dental field, on and off, for over 20 years. I have been a dental hygienist for nine years, with the last four at Kramer Family Dental. Prior to my hygiene career, I was a certified dental assistant for over 10 years.

I'm also married and the proud mother of three kids.

Sharon - I came to Dr. Kramer's office in 1977 with no prior dental knowledge. It's been a great pleasure to watch the changes over the years. Many of our patients started here as children and are now bringing their families. We have a few patients who have four generations of their family as patients.

Our staff brings much experience. It has been exciting seeing the new techniques and the beautiful cosmetic dentistry. I have seen people overcome their fear of dentistry and some of our patient's personalities have changed because of their new white teeth and beautiful smile line.
