Kanoe
Dental Hygienist
Kanoe was born and raised on Oahu, HI. She graduated from Shoreline Community College from Dental Hygeine School and has worked in dentistry since 2003. Kanoe enjoys spending quality time with her family and taking care of her hobby farm!
Laurie
Dental Hygienist
Laurie Gadbois is from Yakima, WA and has also lived in Nevada and California most of her adult life. She has been in the dental field for 32 years including dental assisting, front office, and hygiene. Laurie has been married for 26 years to her husband Dale and has one son in college in Idaho. She likes to spend time with friends and family including camping with their 2 dogs and being outside!
Nancy
Dental Hygienist
Nancy Lescher hails from Milwaukee, WI, where she graduated from Marquette University (BSDH). She loves living in the PNW since 1989 because "you don't have to shovel rain!". She met her husband of 40+ years through Marquette's Lake Michigan sailing club, but now they enjoy monthly flying adventures in a rented Cessna 172 and spending time with their 2 grown sons. You will most likely encounter Nancy as your designated substitute hygienist for both Kenoe and Laurie when needed, as she is semi-retired from a long career of clinical dental hygiene and as a dental hygiene educator. However, she does have the distinction of having worked with all previous dentists and most of the staff at the practice and she has a very high opinion of the likable and appreciative patients and their caring and full-service new dentist, Dr. Kumi.

Dental Assistant
Jessica Sattora graduated from Monroe High School in 2016...GO BEARCATS! She has been a dental assistant since 2017 with dreams of becoming a dental hygienist one of these days! Jess has a very hyper pitbull named Remington and a cat named Loki. Some things she likes to do is explore new places, hangout with friends, and play catch with her dog. Her mom hates going to the dentist so Jess figured it's the perfect field to go into!
Dulce

She enjoys exploring new places and meeting new people, and plans on eventually traveling all around the world. She is hoping to become a dental hygienist in the near future, but for now “I will stick to what I know best - dental assisting and speaking Spanish!”
Audrey
Office Manager
Audrey was born on Oahu, but raised in Woodinville, WA where she attended Inglemoor High School.

Audrey graduated from BYU with a BS in Sports Business Management along with her first 4 babies in tow. Audrey and husband LaMont are proud of their blended “yours, mine, and ours” family with 10 amazing kids and 2 adorable grandbabies. She loves outdoor recreation, good books and music, cooking (then eating) yummy food, and playing “nice” pranks. Audrey is known to dominate at word games (to the point no one wants to play with her), choreograph dances to embarrass her kids, and waterski with no hands! She also jumped out of a helicopter hovering above a glacier to ski in the Canadian Rockies and watched an avalanche narrowly miss her group. Audrey secretly aspires to be an American Ninja Warrior. GO DAWGS! GO HAWKS! GO BEARCATS!
Monica
FRONT DESK
Monica is committed to connect with people in meaningful ways and find joy in everything she does. With so many opportunities for this at the front desk of Crandall Family Dentistry, it has become one of her true happy places! She is also entertained with thrift store shopping, DIY projects, travel, mystery novels, dad jokes/puns, hiking, true crime documentaries, paranormal stuff, creating all kinds of art, yard work, yoga, graphic design, organizing everything, decorating everything, and eating for fun! Monica was born the youngest of 13 children in Prosperity, PA. She met her husband of 25+ years in Chicago when working for a semester away from BYU. She has lived all over the US, including NH, MS, UT, NV, CA, AZ, and most recently feels very at home in the astounding PNW. Monica and her husband Garret have 5 grown children barely out of the house but aspire to own a cozy beach house (location TBD) someday where they finish life together spoiling lots and lots of their future grandchildren!
