Meet The Team

 

Drs. Hoover & Molleti would not work as smoothly without the help of their team.  From answering phone calls and questions about insurance to assisting our periodontists in procedures, our team plays an essential role in giving patients a positive experience every time they come into our practice.  

Our team can’t wait to talk with you on the phone or in person, and you can learn more about us by reading the information provided below.

Jessica- I have been with Dr. Hoover's office for 7 months. This is my first job in a dental office and I'm really enjoying and learning a lot.  I have 2 teenage boys that keep me really busy.  I like to stay active and love the outdoors.  Family is extremely important and I love to spend as much time with them as possible. 

 Kris- I have been with the practice for over 40 years.  As the office manager I wear many hats here. To list a few, I handle all the insurance claims and take care of the bookkeeping, Most importantly, I make sure the office runs smoothly and efficiently. What I most enjoy is spending time with my 2  sons, and their wives and my grandchildren.  My hobbies are biking, walking and reading. 

Deb- I have worked on & off in this office for the last 40 years.  I am very happy to be back with the team again. During my free time, I enjoy spoiling my new granddaughter, gardening, and spending time with my family up at the cabin enjoying a delicious cocktail by the lake.  My family of 3 adult children and their puppies keep me busy and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Rachele

Hygienist

 

I joined Dr. Hoover's practice after spending 10 years in general practice.  I love to learn, and deeply care for my patients as many have become like my second family.  I believe in a gentle but thorough approach while embracing patient comfort.  Providing comprehensive and individualized treatment is always my priority.  I find working closely with my patients and following their progress is so rewarding and exciting for me. 

 Outside of work, I'm a busy family of 5 and 2 dogs. We can typically be found at the hockey rink or baseball fields.  I love to spend my spare time with family and friends.  My husband and I love to spend time outdoors with the kids.

 Jen- I have been a dental assistant for over 23 years.  I have been with this practice for 22 of those years.  When I'm not working, I spend most of my time cheering on my 3 children being their biggest fan.  In my free time, I enjoy traveling with my family, entertaining by the pool and volunteer work.  When I have the time, I love to exercise and cook.  I enjoy the camaraderie with our patients and getting to know them. My team members are like family to me. 

 Tanya- I have been in dentistry for over 20 years. I have been with this office for 12 joyful years. I really enjoy working with our patients to help ease their dental anxiety and to make sure while in my care they have the best experience.  When I'm not chasing after the doctors, my husband and I are busy running our 2 kids to either hockey practices or games, carrying around the heaviest equipment from rink to rink. My family and I enjoy camping with our 2 dogs Lucy and Attie and spending time with our family and friends.  

Jamie - I have been a dental assistant for 22 years, 20 years spent with this practice. I really enjoy working with our patients to help them achieve their oral health goals. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband Mike and our 3 kids (when they're willing) and our 2 dogs named Jalapeno & Stella.  When my family and I get the chance we love to travel to warmer climates during our frigid MN winters. When I find the time I love to read a good book, taking on various projects from Pinterest, and just recently took up running outdoors. 

 

Megan-I have been a dental assistant for around 4 years, and I attended DCTC to complete LDA/CNA.  I'm the youngest of 5 siblings. I enjoy running, spending time with my family, and going on long hikes in the summer. I love to make the patients feel confident and comfortable while still educating them on their needs.
