Susan

My name is Susan (Susie) , and I have been working with Dr. Ted since 1987. I am the office manager and also do some dental assisting.

I have been a dental assistant since September 1966 and really love working with our patients. I guess the part I like the best is working with anxious patients, especially young children. Watching patients, who are afraid, become less stressed is what it is all about.

My husband (Dennis) and I have 3 children, Nicole, Andrew and Nathan, whom I am very proud of. I also have 2 grandchildren, Megan and Maia, who are the apples of my eyes. I love to read and also am a sucker for card games on the computer.

Hi, my name is Ann, and I have been Dr. Ted's receptionist since May of 2001. I am a 1979 graduate of the Penta County Dental Assisting program, and since then, have had 20+ years of experience in many different aspects of dentistry. Our primary goal here at Westgate Family Dental is not only to provide exceptional dental care, but to keep our patients very relaxed and comfortable. I am proud to be part of this outstanding team.

My personal interests include music, reading, movies, swimming, gardening and spending as much time as possible with my 2 wonderful sons.

Deanna
Hello, my name is Deanna. I graduated in 1998 from Lake High School and the Penta County Dental Assisting Program.

I am a certified Dental assistant and have my radiographic license. To stay certified I sometimes have to travel out of state for continuing education.

I began working for Dr. Harold Gross, in August 1999, in a small office with only two treatment rooms. In January 2002, Dr Gross merged his practice with Dr. Beitelschees and we moved to our brand new office on West Central.

I like to listen to music, hang out with my friends, ride horses and walk my dog Goliath (who really walks me). I have been accused of being very kind and gentle and I am always friendly and smiling. You just might find yourself being pampered while you are here.
