Donna

Administration

Before beginning my career in dentistry, I was in hotel management for 20 years, so guest/customer service has always been a priority to me. It was easy to translate that into patient care. For the past several years I have enjoyed spending more time with my family and having weekends off!

I’ve worked with Dr. Evans since 2014 handling administrative duties including patient check out, financials, accounts receivables and office administration.

I truly enjoy the staff I work with and visiting with our patients is a highlight of my day! I feel our practice is unique in the fact that we really have a fun, friendly atmosphere and try to put patients at ease and make them feel welcome.

During my free time, I enjoy camping, hiking, softball… pretty much anything outdoors. I am still married to the love of my life, and have two grown kids!

Koncha

Administration

I began my career in dentistry in the 1990’s in dental administration and have never looked back! I moved to Dr. Evans office in 2017 and have found my home.

A few of my responsibilities include scheduling, checking patients in and out and insurance collections. I “battle” with insurance companies and enjoy being an advocate for our patients. I’m also the voice you will usually hear when you call!

I really enjoy my work and really care about my co-workers. I have a lot of respect for Dr. Evans and love coming to work each day. I think all our patients feel cared for by Dr. Evans and the entire staff… It’s like family and friends!

When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband of over 30 years, two children, our grand-children and a loving lab named Molly.

Amber

Dental Assistant

I started my dental career in Mammoth, were I trained as a Dental Assistant with an accredited cosmetic dentist. Over the next four years, I helped patients improve their smiles! I joined Dr. Evans’ team in January of 2023.

Some of my duties include assisting Dr. Evans with procedures and providing great patient care. I really like working with people and believe that our overall health begins with oral hygiene.

One of the things I love about my job is the wonderful staff and Doctor I work with and the fact that we are a family-based practice who really care about our patients.

I have five children (woah!) who keep me and my husband very busy! Somehow, I find the time to volunteer at my children’s school and even help out with the Damonte Mountain Bike Team.

 

Christine

Dental Assistant

I began my career by attending Milan School for Dental Assistants and for the last five years, I have been helping patients attain healthy smiles.

Some of my responsibilities include assisting Dr. Evans, set up and breakdown of rooms, ordering supplies, OSHA compliance and sterilization.

My grandpa was a dentist and he had the same two assistants for over 20 years. I truly enjoy the people I work with and Dr. Evans is great! I love my job and feel that this is where I’m meant to be. I hope to have the same experience as my grandpa’s assistants!

As a Reno native, I enjoy all things outdoors. So, when I’m not at work, you can find me spending time with my kids, hiking, camping, fishing and going to Lake Tahoe.

 

Savannah

Dental Assistant

I completed my training with the National School of Dental Assisting in 2019. As the newest member of the team, I feel I am being trained by the best! I think the mouth is very fascinating, I am looking forward to all the new things I will be learning and strive to provide the best experience for our patients.

Some of my responsibilities include, assisting Dr. Evans, sterilization and set up and breakdown of rooms.

I think our staff does a great job at helping our patients with their oral health. I really feel that I work at the best dental office in town and it’s great to be a part of this team! I know this because I have also been a patient of Dr. Evans for the past 10 years!

During my free time, I enjoy the outdoors, baking and reading. I love science fiction and historical fiction. I also have two dogs, Molley and Elle who are my best friends!

Kim

Registered Dental Hygienist

I attended Truckee Meadows Community College where I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Dental Hygiene in 2020 and joined Dr. Evans’s team in May of 2024.

I began my career as an Endodontic Assistant before moving on to hygiene school. I love helping patients reach their oral health goals and achieving optimal health. If I can keep them out of Dr. Evans’s chair… all the better. I consider myself to be a bit quirky, quiet, and calm. I’m very compassionate and gentle with my patients.

During the time I’ve been at this office, I have appreciated the great environment and support from my colleagues. The passion Dr. Evans has for new developments in dentistry is awesome.

When I’m not working, I enjoy being a homebody with my boyfriend and my cats and playing the occasional video game. When I get out, I enjoy hiking and dying in a hot yoga class.
