Our Dental Team in Bellevue

Grace - Office Manager

Grace

BA, MBA, Office Manager
I grew up right here in Bellevue and went to Newport High School. I then graduated from the University of the Pacific in CA in 2001 with a degree in accounting. After working in an accounting firm in Cupertino, CA for a few years I moved back to Washington and got a degree in MBA from the City University of Seattle in Bellevue.

I am in dentistry because of Dr. Chen! I love meeting new patients and I always enjoy helping them with their scheduling and administrative needs. It is truly an honor to be able to assist many people while at the same time making new friends.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my kids and reading. I also enjoy cooking and watching movies while I have time.

Katrina

BS, Certified Dental Hygienist
Hello, I’m Katrina! I grew up near Los Angeles and began dental assisting in high school. I fell in love with dentistry as a science and continued my education earning a Bachelors of Science in Dental Hygiene at the University of Southern California. I have practiced dental hygiene in California, Texas and am now happily settled in the beautiful Pacific Northwest!

I enjoy connecting with my patients and the relationships I have formed throughout the years. I volunteer in various organizations including the Seattle King County Clinic and Medical Teams International. I also work with dental students teaching dental hygiene at the University of Washington.

I feel very fortunate to be working with Dr. Chen and to be part of team who deliver the highest standard of care and treat their patients with respect and kindness. When not at work I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I also love to read, play tennis, mountain bike, hike or basically anything outdoors!

Jodie

BS, Registered Dental Hygienist
I am originally from Saigon, Vietnam and have been in the Pacific Northwest for over seven years. I attended Portland Community College in Oregon where I earned my Associate Degree in Science and Certificate in Dental Assisting in 2009. I continued my studies at Pacific University in Hillsboro, Oregon graduating in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Dental Hygiene. I moved to Seattle in early 2013 and joined Dr. Chen's hygiene team shortly thereafter. Prior to this, I practiced Dental Assisting for four years.

Patient-centered care is most important to me. I believe in maintaining excellent rapport with patients. I want all my patients to feel that a visit to the dentist can be a positive and enjoyable experience.

In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, reading, and traveling. I also volunteer for Medical Teams International's dental van occasionally throughout Washington. I consider serving the uninsured and underserved population as a mission of my hygiene career as well as a way to give back to the community.

Ellie

Registered Dental Assistant
My name is Ellie. I have been a dental assistant in this office since 2016. I love what I do and look forward to coming to work each and every day.

Prior to receiving my dental assistant degree, I obtained my bachelors degree in nursing from University of Isfahan, Iran, where I served as a surgical nurse at the hospital for a few years.

I feel very privileged to work side by side with Dr. Chen and be part of such a wonderufl and supportive dental team which goals are to provide our patients with beautiful and healthy smiles. My goal as a dental assistant is to make sure that every patient who comes into our dental office feels very comfortable and is provided with an exceptional dental experience.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love cooking, hiking, trying new and interesting restaurants, going to movies and traveling. 

Norma

Hello my name is Norma! I was born and raised in Seattle, and currently reside in the Auburn area. While in high school, I discovered my passion for the dental field. I attended "Occupational Skills Center" and was able to learn the aspects of dentistry and helping patients. Then, in 2009 I graduated from Renton Technical College as a DANB certified dental assistant. I have been in the dental field for 11 years and enjoy the interaction I get with each patient and getting to know them!  

I enjoy working alongside Dr. Chen because of his gentle care and concern for every patient. We always put the patient and their concerns as top priority.  

Outside of my dental assisting life I enjoy spending my time with my loving husband and our fur babies Roxy (dog), Garfield (cat), and Dory (cat). I also enjoy painting, and going on road trips.
