Patience | Office Manager
Patience has been the heart of Elma Family Dental as the Office Manager for the past six years. With a passion for helping both patients and staff, she ensures that everything runs smoothly and that everyone feels supported. Originally from Shelton and still living there, Patience treats the office like family, creating a warm and welcoming environment for everyone who walks through the doors.
When she’s not managing the hustle and bustle of the office, you’ll find her enjoying outdoor adventures, camping, hiking, and spending quality time with her grandbabies. Her guilty pleasure? Potato chips—because who can resist a crunchy snack? If she could have a superpower, it would be the ability to see the future, making prevention a breeze! Patience loves working with a team that feels like family every day.
Miranda | Scheduling Coordinator
Miranda has been the Scheduling Coordinator at Elma Family Dental for 1 year, where her fascination with teeth and passion for helping others shine through. She loves helping to ease patients’ dental anxiety and making everyone feel welcome from the moment they walk through the door.
A lifelong resident of Grays Harbor, Miranda enjoys spending her free time with her husband and daughter, reading, collecting house plants, and being outdoors. If she could have a superpower, it would be self-replication—so she could be everywhere at once, accomplishing even more!
Her top dental advice? Stay hydrated! It helps wash away food particles and bacteria while keeping your mouth moist. And even if your mouth doesn’t hurt, Miranda reminds you that regular checkups are important for catching any potential issues early. She loves the friendly, family-like atmosphere at Elma Family Dental and is proud to be part of such a welcoming team.
Amanda | Front Office
Amanda B joined Elma Family Dental two months ago and has already made a positive impact with her enthusiasm for helping others. She loves that her role allows her to make a difference in patients’ lives every day, offering opportunities to create meaningful, positive experiences with everyone she meets.
Born and raised in Grays Harbor, Amanda enjoys spending time outdoors with her family and dog. An organization enthusiast, she finds joy in putting things in order and keeping life tidy. Her favorite treat? Fresh, warm cookies! If she could have a superpower, it would be having more than two arms to boost her multitasking skills.
Her dental wisdom? Start and end your day with brushing and flossing, and find a routine that works for you. She also wants to debunk the myth that brushing harder means cleaner teeth—it’s all about technique, not force! Amanda is excited and grateful to be part of a team that values teamwork, where everyone works together to provide patients with high-quality care and a great experience.
Suzsen | Front Office
Suzsen is our latest hire to make our front desk squad complete. She is use to multi-tasking since Suzsen is a mom of 4 boys! Suzsen is a Philadelphia Eagles fan, but we won’t hold that against her since we all sport our Seahawks gear on Fridays.
When Suzsen is not helping you check out or answering phones she will be spending time with her family. Suzsen also has 2 dogs names are Spaghetti and Meatball. How cute is that?
