	Erin Chairside Dental Nurse I worked as a Dental Assistant for several years and truly feel that I have found my calling in the dental world. I enjoy every moment of working with Almaden Dental Associates. Each patient that walks through our doors and receives a dramatic change in their smile touches my heart and gives meaning to the services I provide. I am from the Midwest and enjoy the sense of family at our practice. I enjoy exercising, cooking, my dog and spending time with family and friends.
	Kathy Chairside Dental Nurse I have been working in the dental field for many years in different practices. When Almaden Dental Associates asked me to join their group, I was delighted. I brought with me several years of experience in a dental office but working here in the Almaden Dental Group has been very rewarding. You get to see patients leave with a smile or sometimes a changed life. I enjoy the bond we have with many of our long time patients.
