Effie – Dental Hygienist

Effie brings several years of experience as a dental hygienist to our patients. Her favorite part of her job is helping patients feel confident with their smiles. She earned her dental hygiene degree from Portland Community College and has her certification to administer local anesthesia.

Originally from Boise, Idaho, Effie has five cats and loves to crochet, read, swim, and craft in her free time. An interesting fact about her is that she has an identical twin!
