Shawn
Treatment Coordinator
I relocated to Idaho in January of 2016 from Santa Clarita, CA. I came to Idaho to experience a greater quality of life and enjoy the outdoors and all it has to offer. I am a Grandmother of four and have two beautiful daughters who still reside in California, hopefully they will decide to relocate as well. I started my Dentistry career in 2011 in California, with a General Dentist whom I worked for five years. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking with my boyfriend and two dogs, Camping, floating the river, and long walks on the greenbelt.
Betty
Treatment Coordinator
I started in the Dental field in 1976. I received my training as a dental assistant and later moved to the front desk. I have seen a lot of good changes in the dental field since then. In 2004 I joined Dr. Hayhurst's office in Star and retired in 2014 and now work part-time in the Boise office. I have lived in Idaho all my life. My husband and I enjoy travelling and camping with our family and friends. I enjoy cooking with my four grandchildren as well. Some of my hobbies are reading, sewing, beading and cross stitching. I am very blessed to work with Dr. Hayhurst and his team.
Janet
Registered Dental Hygienist
I have enjoyed working in dentistry for over 30 years! It is amazing to see the impact that a healthy mouth makes on the health of the entire body. My goal is to earn your trust and confidence by providing honest and competent dental care.
My husband and I like to spend time outdoors hiking and taking out recreational toys. We also cheer for our BSU Bronco teams!
Kala
Registered Dental Hygienist
I was born in Ketchikan, Alaska but raised in Nampa! I was a Registered Dental Assistant in Sacramento, California for 8 years where my love of dentistry flourished. I met my husband in California. I graduated from dental hygiene school in 2013 then moved to Southeast Alaska. While living in Sitka, Alaska, I worked in public health where I learned quickly how important oral health is to overall health. I traveled to local Native villages every month to not only clean but enjoy the beautiful outdoors. I moved to Ketchikan after a few years where I continued my dental career in private practice. I enjoy fishing for halibut, shrimping and crabbing! I have 3 kids that keep me busy and an awesome husband. I love cooking and baking. I look forward to serving the area with excellent dental care and making them smile!
Amber
Registered Dental Assistant
Originally from Las Vegas, I have also had the pleasure of calling both Idaho and Utah home. I was raised in Boise (go Broncos!) and post-graduation moved to Salt Lake City where I lived for several years after (go Utes)!
Before dentistry stole my heart, I worked in the semiconductor industry with a focus on process engineering. My dental assisting career began in 2016. Patient comfort and satisfaction are of the utmost importance to me. Providing a gentle, at ease experience is what I strive for. Seeing smiles blossom confidently each and every day is by far the greatest reward!
A few favorites: adventuring with my sweetheart, being a cat mama to the silliest boy, baking, interior decorating, spontaneous moments, and all things sports.
