Elia
Office Manager
I have been a dental assistant since 2003 – working in general, endodontic, and pediatric dentistry – and have been part of the PPD team since 2009. As the office manager for our team, I am responsible for maintaining and ordering supplies and products for the office, making sure that all our patients and parents have a positive, enjoyable dental visit, and maintain all HR responsibilities for our PPD family. Our doctors are wonderful when interacting with the children, but I love that they are also conservative when recommending treatment. My husband Alex, my son Ellis, and I spend most of our evenings hanging out outside. In my free time, I love to watch Ellis play baseball, go to Astros and Space Cowboys’ games, bake yummy treats, and spend time with family and close friends.
Chelsea
Financial Coordinator
I started working in the dental field in 2022. This is my first time working at a dentistry office. I have worked in multiple medical offices while completing my bachelor’s degree at Sam Houston State University in business administration. As the financial coordinator, I assist patient families with any financial questions or concerns they may have. I love getting to interact with all the kids and their families. Everyone in the office is genuinely nice and takes wonderful care of the patients. It is more of a family environment than employees and coworkers. I have two Australian Shepherds and we love going on hikes. I also love learning how to crochet in my free time.
Ashley
Insurance Coordinator
I began my career in general dentistry in 2015, transferred to the medical field, and came back to dentistry in 2023 working for PPD. In addition to verifying dental benefits, I also check out patients, schedule appointments, and answer phone calls. I enjoy interacting with patients and their parents and seeing each personality shine. Our team is fun and wonderful with patients, while giving each family personalized care. Outside of the PPD family, my daughter Kennedy and I spend time with our Schnauzer Clooney, travel, and bake yummy treats!
Yoana
Scheduling Coordinator
After working in the medical field for the past 12 years, I made a transition to the dental world by joining the PPD team in early 2024! I have truly enjoyed being the warm welcoming smile for our patients and families as they come in for their appointments! My favorite part of my job is being the first to interact with the kiddos as they arrive in the office. The upbeat team here at PPD also makes being here enjoyable and fun! In my free time I enjoy doing nails and makeup. I am also taking a course to learn to do eyelashes! I also love spending time with my 3 fur babies: Beau, a Pomeranian and Nikki and Cafecita my two chihuahuas.
Kim
Patient Coordinator
I started out in the dental field back in 2017 as a Registered Dental Assistant. In early 2024, I joined the PPD team as a patient coordinator, where I have the privilege of interacting with all the patients and patient families as they checkout of the office. My favorite part of my position is having the opportunity to answer questions and build relationships with all our wonderful families! Working with a team that is always positive, upbeat, and fun makes it easy to come to work! My husband Eddie and I have been married for 10 years and have 3 crazy boys: Michael, 8, Kai, 3, and Zaidyn, 1! In my time away from work you can find us at the baseball field, football field or basketball court! If we have down time at home, we enjoy playing board games as a family.
Meagan
RDH
I started my career in 2017 in general dentistry, but switched to pediatrics as fast as I could! I was thrilled to join the Pearland Pediatric Dentistry team in 2020, where I care for and educate patients about their dental health. It’s so rewarding to build long-term relationships with kids and their parents in a fun environment full of smiles and laughter! One thing that attracted me to this practice is the doctor’s passion for what they do and how much they genuinely love each patient. Our office places a high value on helping kids love the dentist and establish healthy dental habits for life. My husband Daniel and I have two kids, Clark and Ellie, and two dogs named Hazel and Ruby. We enjoy hiking and spending time at the river, but most often you will find us cheering on out kids at cross country, track meets or dance team competitions.
Erika
RDH
I began my career as a dental assistant in 1999 and continued my education to graduate as a dental hygienist in 2014. I began my career as a dental Hygienist in general dentistry but found my true passion when I started at PPD in 2020. I love building relationships with our patients and families, and watching our friends with different needs and abilities learn to trust us as they come in each time. Getting to know about all the things that make them smile always puts a smile on my face. Our team works well together to care for our patients and educate all our little friends on building long-lasting healthy habits for their teeth. My husband, Matthew, and I have been married for 23 years! We have 3 boys, Brayden (21), Spencer (19), and Preston (17). In my free time I enjoy traveling and making memories with my family.
Connor
Lead RDA
I began working with PPD in 2023. My role in the office is to provide our doctors and hygienists with assistance during treatment and recare appointments. I love interacting with all our patients and their families and helping to provide them with the best care possible. The doctors at our office are extremely kind and determined to provide all our patients with personalized care. They provide a welcoming atmosphere for the staff and our patients that makes it an enjoyable place to work. I recently graduated from the University of North Texas and will be returning to school in the future to pursue a career in dentistry. In my free time I shadow at other offices, take my dog Tucker on walks, and spend time with my family.
Natalie
RDA
I started out in general dentistry after graduating high school. I always loved seeing the kiddos when they would come in, so I knew pediatrics was where I wanted to end up. I joined the PPD team in 2023. My role is to work alongside the dentists to provide patient care and give our patients the best experience possible. My favorite part of my job is helping to make a positive impact on kids’ lives and helping to contribute to their healthy growth and development. This is such a positive work environment where we all have the same goal, to provide our patients with the best care around. In my free time I enjoy thrifting and hanging out with friends. In the future I plan to go back to school to get my degree in Dental Hygiene.
Noemi
RDA
I’ve been in the dental field since 2021 after I graduated from high school with my dental assisting certification. I joined the PPD team in 2023 after working in a general office for 2 years. My favorite part of my job is working with kids. One of the best things about kids is witnessing their curiosity and imagination which leads to hilarious conversations and interactions. It’s very inspiring to see how they love to learn and are so creative! My role in the office is to assist the doctors and help the kids develop a love of the dental office that will last a lifetime. Working with the PPD team is fulfilling because we all share the commitment to oral health for our patients and helping them achieve their best smiles! Being part of a team that is so passionate about what they do leads to lasting relationships and mutual respect. I am happily married to my husband, Luis, who has always been supportive of me achieving my goals. We have a two-year-old daughter named Naylinn, and a son on the way! My time is spent mostly with my family just making memories.
