Meet The Team

Patti

Office Manager

Dr. Brown, Dr. Sorensen, our wonderful team, and our awesome patients at Healthy Expressions Dental make every day a gratifying experience for me. Along with my daily responsibilities of making our office run smoothly and efficiently, I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to be a part of a unique, fun and amazing team that puts a patient’s individual care first. Our family loves to take full advantage of all that our beautiful area has to offer including camping, fishing, relaxing at the lake, hiking, skiing along with attending many sporting events. I treasure spending time with family and friends as they are my greatest gifts in life!

Sandy

Scheduling Coordinator

In order for our patients to maintain a healthy and happy smile, they need to make an appointment at Healthy Expressions Dental. That’s where I come in! I try to schedule each appointment to be as convenient as possible. Our team is very knowledgeable and caring toward one another and our patients. I have two grown daughters that are thriving on their own in the real world. I now have time to do what I love which is pretty much anything outdoors. My two favorite things are hiking and camping. I’m looking forward to serving all our patients in the future.

Kezia

Insurance Coordinator

In September of 2015 I was blessed with the opportunity to join the Healthy Expressions Dental team as an addition to the front office, as well as taking on the role of verifying patients’ dental insurance benefits and eligibility for their appointments. Working as a barista for over 14 years prior, and a waitress for 2 years, I had no background in the dental field and wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I am so happy I made the choice to do so, and love working with the team we have, as well as all of our great patients!

I was born and raised in Chewelah, WA, which is just about 25 miles south of Colville. My husband and I love spending time with our friends and families, going to concerts, our dogs (and our kids too ;)), and to be out camping as much as possible during the summer months.

Annie

Dental Hygienist

As one of the dental hygienists at Healthy Expressions, I want to help you achieve and maintain the healthiest smile possible! I strive to create a fun and comfortable atmosphere at each appointment. Let me be your prevention specialist and together we can create a personalized plan to prevent and treat periodontal disease and tooth decay.

Having grown up in this area I have established a connection with many patients on such a personal level. I love where I work, who I work with, and am truly blessed to have so many wonderful patients.

Brooklyn

Dental Hygienist

Hi! I graduated dental hygiene school from Eastern Washington University in 2022 and have been so grateful to have Healthy Expressions as my first hygiene job! I love getting to meet all of our patients and help each and every one achieve their own unique oral health goals. I grew up in Arizona and moved to Chewelah in 2014 where I met my husband. We now live at the Chewelah golf course with our dog Lily, our cat Boo, and our newest and sweetest addition our daughter- Banks. We love to golf, spend time outside, and attend as many sporting events as we can on our days off!

Kim

I grew up in Auburn Washington, my husband Bob and I moved to Chehalis and settled in Onion Creek in 2001. I have been a practicing Dental Hygienist for 32 years. I love to help get people to optimum dental health!

Sarah

Dental Hygienist

My goal as a dental hygienist is to provide our patients with a comfortable and trusting environment during every appointment. I am passionate about building meaningful relationships, providing individualized care, and helping people achieve and maintain their oral health.

I am a native to the area and was raised on my family’s dairy farm in the rural mountains of Summit Valley. With family being my biggest priority, I am so thankful to be able to work close to home, and work with my awesome dental team at Healthy Expressions.

Angela

Dental Assistant

I have been assisting since 2001, and have had the pleasure of assisting in many different offices over the years due to military transfers. My husband was in the USCG up until 2017, when he went back to college for his OTA degree, which brought us to Colville for a job opportunity. We have three amazing children, which I’m excited to see grow up in this wonderful community. My youngest just went back to school this year, so that freed me up to go back to work. I am the newest member of this dental family, and I am very impressed with both doctors’ ability to put the patients at ease with their caring nature, easy sense of humor, and “patient first’ attitude.

In my free time I love being outside as much as possible, gardening, boating, swimming, or just relaxing. I also love putting together puzzles, painting, or just hanging out with my kiddos and husband. I come from a big family and we are all very close. We love having get-togethers and celebrating just about anything.

Jennifer

Dental Assistant

Since 2023 when I began to work here at Healthy Expressions Dental, it has been the most amazing experience. Being new in the Dentistry Field, everyone has been so amazing since the beginning. This team is truly amazing and I am blessed to have the opportunity to work with each and everyone. They go above and beyond for their patients, which makes me proud to be a part of this team.

While being a Dental Assistant, I have the opportunity to create a connection with patients and make them feel comfortable while in our office, alongside our amazing Doctors.

When I am away from the office I love to spend time with family, go shopping and play soccer.
