Your Ahwatukee, AZ Dental Care Team
Sharon T, Front Desk Office Manager
Originally from upstate New York, Sharon moved to Arizona in 2002 with her family. She started her journey in the dental field by working in an oral surgeon’s office, but after 10 years decided to make the switch to a General Dentistry office. Sharon truly enjoys working with the wonderful patients of BellaVista DentalCare and helping them achieve their dental goals. She spends her time out of the office with her husband and four children. Her favorite things to do are travel with her family and read.
Amy D, Front Desk
Amy took some time off from Dentistry a few years back to focus on her family and her dogs, but missed the patients and the BellaVista team too much to stay away. She is back on Fridays, answering the phones and scheduling for the office. Amy has over 10 years of dental experience, as a front office administrator and as a dental assistant. She loves dentistry and helping to educate people on what their specific insurance benefits are and how to best utilize them. Amy is originally from Vermont and has two boys ages 18 and 15. She also has 8 of her own dogs that keep her busy, along with helping with foster organizations and some dog training. She enjoys yoga, running and is an avid hiker that loves all things nature. Amy and her husband can be found most weekends doing home renovations, gardening, or heading up north out of the heat to explore all that AZ has to discover.
Samera F, Dental Hygienist
Samera has been in dentistry for 30 years. Initially she was a dental assistant and later became a dental hygienist.
