Meet our hygienists....
Nicole
Nicole walked by our office many years ago and wondered what it would be like to work here. A while later she went to dental hygiene school, graduated and started working with Dr. Hockel almost immediately. After taking a bit of a break to be home full time, she returned to our office again, to the delight of many patients who knew her. Nicole and her husband Tim have two cute and lively daughters.
Marissa
Hi! I'm Marissa and, along with Kerrie and Nicole, I'm a dental hygienist. Since I was a little girl I have always known that I wanted to be a hygienist. You might hear this quite a bit, but it really is true! I was very involved with orthodontics as a child and always had wonderful experiences with every visit to the dental office. Now I get to experience the rewarding feeling of being able to help patients improve their health and I absolutely love my career! One of the best parts is the people I get to meet and work with every day. In my spare time, I enjoy visiting family and friends, eating out at restaurants and taking weekend trips to Disneyland.
Actual comments from Marissa's patients: "Marissa is the best hygienist I have ever had clean my teeth. " "Marissa was a new hygienist for me and I thought she was great. I would like to continue my appointments with her. :-)" "Marissa was fantastic! I could honestly have slept through my cleaning she was so talented at doing a good job painlessly.".
Kerrie
Like Nicole, Kerrie was also a returning star to our office whom many of our patients have known for many years. Kerrie is an excellent hygienist and she gets many raving reviews from our patients. She and her husband Vart have a son, Jared, and a daughter, Miranda.
