Meet Our Staff
"Dentistry for nice people"
Barb Carlisle, 21 Years
Clinical Assistant
"The best part about this job is the people you get to meet! If I can help a person, who is afraid of dentistry, get through a tough situation and not be as afraid, I feel I have helped them. Next time it may be easier and it will easier on them to continue with great dental care."
Barb Murphy, 19 Years
Registered Dental Hygienist
"I have been a hygienist for 27 years, 19 of them with Dr. Slete. All aspects of my hob are rewarding, but the thing I enjoy most is establishing and developing relationships with my patients. I like to know about their families, interests and what makes them tick. In knowing this information, I can relate to them better and help them to develop a plan for improving or maintaining their health and well being."
Ann Marie Benjamin, 16 Years
Registered Dental Hygienist
"I have been a dental hygienist now for 17 years; 16 of those in the office. I am married with two girls. I enjoy gardening, traveling and spending time with my family. Here at work I most enjoy the wonderful friendships that I have made with many of my patients over the years."
Shellie Kenyon, 9.5 Years
Clinical Assistant
"What I enjoy most about my job is the end result I see using my artistic and creative ability while fabricating temporary crown and bridge work."
Jodi Carney, 7.5 Years
Hygiene Assistant
"I have had many positions in the 7.5 years I have been here with Dr. Slete. I am currently working as a hygiene assistant. This is my favorite position, because I enjoy being more involved in the “hands on” treatment of our patients."
Sharon Gregurich, 7.5 Years
Appointment Coordinator
"The most rewarding part of my job is working with the patients and helping them understand the importance of good dental health. I also enjoy being part of the team and going to continuing education classes to better my understanding of the excellent dentistry our office provides."
Becky Rouse, 4.5 Years
Business Manager
"The long lasting personal relationships with patients are very special to me, after 40 years in the dental profession. Working in the business office for the last 4.5 years at Dr. Slete’s office is very rewarding."
Dannae Ratkiewicz, 2.5 Years

Crispin Moore, 2 Years
Registered Dental Hygienist
"The most rewarding part of my job is working with patients who are apprehensive to receive dental treatment. It’s such a wonderful feeling to watch patients become more relaxed during their dental visits."
Tonya Lally, 1.5 Years
Clinical Assistant
"Having been in the dental field for 7.5 years total, I’ve found what I like most is the transformation we see in patients with implant restorations as well as cosmetic bonding. We see “instant” results from both sides of the dental chair."
