Debbie

Expanded Duty Registered Dental Assistant

I assist Dr. Stewart chairside in all aspects of patient care.  I was his first dental assistant, starting right out of college.  I’ve enjoyed getting to know my patients and helping them make wise and informed dental decisions. I love educating our patients about the quality dentistry we provide and the many current advancements dentistry has to offer.  Dr. Stewart is very sensitive to his patients' needs and always strives to meet those needs and give patients a positive dental experience.  We are all great friends here and enjoy working together and spending time outside the office together.  We are very team oriented and want to make our patients feel very comfortable in our office.

I am married with three grown children, three grandsons and one granddaughter.  In my free time I enjoy walking, riding bikes, gardening, volunteering at my church, and spending time with my grandchildren.

Barb

Dental Hygienist

I provide routine dental and periodontal cleanings for patients, including fluoride and laser treatments when appropriate, and educate patients on maintaining good oral health.  I was Dr. Stewart’s first hygienist.  I am very interested in our patients and their families, and love to hear all the fascinating stories they have to tell. It’s also gratifying to see the care we provide make such a positive difference in patients’ dental health.  Our staff makes a great team.  We all get along and have fun together.  We have a great respect for one another and have become close friends.

My husband and I have three married children, three grandsons, and two granddaughters. When I have time I enjoy landscaping, gardening, and playing with my grandchildren.  I am also involved in Relay for Life through my church in Rockford.

Annie

Receptionist and Billing Specialist

I greet our patients when they come into the office and work with insurance companies on our patients’ behalf.  I feel very lucky to come here every day to work side by side with my friends.  Dr. Stewart is a detail-oriented person who takes care and concern for each individual patient. He always listens to their needs and helps them to meet their goals with their oral health.  We have a wonderful group of employees.  We all strive to make every patient feel as though they are part of our dental family.

I am married with four sons. We enjoy spending time together  as a family, especially camping, hunting, four-wheeling, and snowmobiling.  I also love to watch them play football and baseball.

Cathy

Dental Hygienist

It is my job to improve our patients’ dental and oral health through hands-on care and education. I am interested in getting to know who my patients are as individuals and what is important to them.  I want their experience to be as comfortable as possible and I want them to enjoy coming to our office. The people I get to work with make it a joy to come to work every day. We are all great friends and truly enjoy one another’s company. Dr. Stewart is one of the most committed and passionate dentists I have met.  He inspires us to strive for excellence every day.

My husband and I have six cats and two horses. We love to be outdoors, camping with our horses, riding, and trap shooting. I also love karaoke!

Monica

Business Assistant and Financial Coordinator

I am in charge of keeping our doctor’s schedule, checking patients out, and presenting financial options for our patients.  I often get to greet patients as they come in, and if not, then I see them when they leave.  I have gotten to know a lot of our patients very well and love visiting with them during their appointments.  I love working here!  I get to work with all of my friends and interact with all of our interesting patients.  Dr. Stewart is an expert in every way, from excellence in dentistry, to creating a great work environment, to genuinely caring about his staff and patients.  It is a very enjoyable place to be, and it’s truly like my second home.

Outside the office, I love creating lifelong memories with my daughter and my father. I also enjoy walking our dog and doing creative art projects.

Carol

Dental Hygienist

I help patients achieve and retain their dental health through hygiene visits, fluoride treatments, and education.  I provide a calm and relaxing atmosphere for my patients and I try to tailor treatment to their individual needs and requests.  My favorite part of my job is watching my families and their children grow.  I do love the clinical care I provide for my patients, but I love the personal connections I am able to establish more.  It’s great that Dr. Stewart has a good sense of humor but maintains his professionalism; it’s a perfect mix!

I am a very family-oriented person. I am married with two sons, and am the youngest child in a family of nine!  I enjoy reading and watching sports with my children.  I also help out at church and their school on my days off.
