Amy - Office Manager

My job is to oversee the everyday efficiencies of the office. If you have any suggestions and/or comments feel free to contact me as I am always interested in learning of new ideas. In my free time I enjoy spending time doing activities outside with my family or attending my sons athletic events. I’ll look forward to meeting you!

I started working for Prairie Run Dental two years ago as an assistant which led to my current position of Lead Assistant.  I love making the patients feel comfortable with the professional but laid back atmosphere.  In my spare time I enjoy camping and fishing with my husband and three sons and of course…my dog too!

It has been great to work with Dr. Cole and the friendly staff here at Prairie Run Dental.  I love the patients and the variety dentistry and orthodontics brings to my days. My family and I love to camp and fish together.  On my days off, you will find me either in the kitchen baking something delicious or out for a brisk walk.

Kim - RDH

Hi!  My name is Kim.  I am one of the four registered dental hygienists here at Prairie Run Dental.  I graduated from the dental hygiene program in 2008 from NTC in Wausau, WI.  My favorite part of being included within this team is the fact that they push me to do my best; keeping me informed and up-to-date with education and information within the dental field.  This way I am able to provide the best care for my patients.  In my free time I love to cook and bake, as well as hunt and fish.  I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.  I just try to appreciate whatever life throws my way!

Melissa – Assistant

The best part of working alongside Dr. Cole and the staff at Prairie Run Dental for several years is getting to know the patients!  I love helping them become comfortable by reducing any anxiety they may have about their procedure.  Working with such a great team in this fast paced environment suits my personality well.  In my free time I have fun camping and snowmobiling with my family and friends.  I look forward to meeting you!

Joann – Accounts Manager

I will be one of the first people to greet you when you arrive at Prairie Run Dental. I am also the person you will want to contact regarding your dental insurance and billing questions.  Not only are my coworkers and Dr. Cole fun to work with, but the patients are so kind and loyal.  I enjoy the comeraderie between staff members and especially interacting with the patients.  In my spare time, I can be found at the bowling alley with my other “200 Club” friends or spending time with my son.

Becky - Receptionist and Orthodontic Technician

I became a team member of Prairie Run Dental in July 2011.  In the mornings you will find me at the front desk answering phone calls and checking you in and out for your appointments.  In the afternoons I assist with the orthodontics.  I love working with the friendly team members and getting to know all the patients.  In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my family, friends, and my dog, Chowder.
