Kate has been with us for 4 years and is our lead Full-Time Registered Dental Hygienist. She graduated with her dental hygiene degree from SUNY Canton in 2011 and has been practicing ever since. She is a gentle and caring individual with 2 young sons who keep her on her toes. She has always ensured that her standard of care is continuously at its highest point and that our patients are always comfortable from the beginning of their appointment through to the end. She works closely alongside the doctor to determine each patients treatment needs and formulate the best course of action to best accommodate each patients individual hygiene needs. With Kate's kind nature, patients can expect to have a calming and pleasant interaction from the start of the appointment to finish. We are glad she has chosen to be part of or dental team!

Katelynn is our newest team member. Though she is new to us, she is not new to dentistry. She was born in Texas on the army base of Killeen, and has lived in many states but the state she called home for 11 years was Burley Idaho. Her family and herself were then transferred to the beautiful state of New York. Katelynn graduated from Liverpool high school and then attended dental assistant school shortly after at OCM BOCES and graduated in May of 2022. Katelynn's career was put on hold for a little while due to a car accident that left her flat lined for 3 minutes, two broken legs and many life threatening injuries. She was unable to walk for 4 months, with determination, that didn’t stop her. In her own words, " I fought long and hard to gain my abilities back. I thank god everyday I was given a second chance at life. I regained my love for dentistry again through working with Dr.Lyons." Katelynn was introduced to us as Dr.Lyons crossed paths with her mother and her mother told Dr.Lyons about her journey and passion for this field. Katelynn also informed us she wouldn’t be where she is today without her loving family and Dr.Lyons. Currently, Katelynn has 3 adorable puppies named Ginger, Nova, and Sabel. She has a compassionate energetic and is a bundle of joy. She is always open to new and exciting adventures! In her free time she enjoys cooking and drawing. We are happy to welcome Katelynn to our team!
