Kate

Director of Operations

Pediatric Dentistry of Sunset Hills has always felt like home to me, starting when I was a patient here. I am excited to carry on that positive dental experience to our younger generations. I enjoy working with the doctors and our team to provide a fun and relaxed environment for our valued patients and amazing team.

Kate oversees the day-to-day operations of the entire practice. She works closely with our doctors, Manager of Operations, Team Leads, and the entire team to ensure we deliver the best dental care while providing an exceptional environment for staff and patients.

Outside of work Kate spends her time with family and at the gym or walking/hiking outdoors. She also enjoys getting outside with her German Shepherd Dog Riley, playing golf and trying out new recipes in her spare time.

I love being able to help families have a great experience from beginning to end. I also love helping parents understand their insurance benefits and navigating through any problems.

Niki is responsible for overseeing the daily activities of the administrative team. She manages the daily operations including practice finances, benefits administration, marketing, facilities management, and resolution of customer inquiries. She is dedicated to keeping us on track to provide the ideal care for our patients and their families.

The proud mother of six-year-old Kingston, Niki is married to her husband Tony, and has two dogs, Jabb and Royal. In her spare time, she loves to cook and spend time with her family and friends.

Tiffani

Registered Dental Hygienist/Clinical Team Lead

I find it rewarding to make going to the dentist fun and exciting for children, while providing the highest quality of care.

 

Kelsey

Registered Dental Hygienist

My main passion is helping children overcome their fear of the dentist. I love being able to provide a comforting environment for children who are apprehensive about their visit. The biggest reward is witnessing the smooth transition when the children move on to a general dental office. 

Kelsey started her journey at Pediatric Dentistry of Sunset Hills in 2011. She came to our office as a dental assistant and moved on to become a Registered Dental Hygienist in 2015. She graduated from Missouri College with an associates degree in Applied Sciences. 

Kelsey and her husband Corey got married in April 2021. She and her spouse share their lives with their loving cat Noel, and the family has just purchased their first home together!
