Stephanie
Office Manager

Hello, My name is Stephanie. I’ve been in the dental field for over 4 years. Before that I was in Tucson AZ for 37 years, working in real estate for over 22 years then decided to move to this beautiful state in Sept of 2022. I enjoy exploring this beautiful state for many reasons but the major one would be the beaches all around-coming from the desert, this is paradise. My interests include - Reading, writing a book via typewriter and exploring all the beautiful antique shops. I have 2 wonderfully mature children and a grandson, a sweet bully dog and endless moments of creating memories. I joined this wonderful team in 2026, I knew this was the right place for me and I look forward to providing adequate customer service for you here at Riverview dental. My primary focus as the Practice manager is to make sure you are getting the care you need and I am confident that you will be happy with our services, staff and all around care for your oral care. We look forward to meeting you.

Hello, My name is Rose. As the first smiling face you see when you walk through our doors my goal is to make you feel right at home. It’s been a year since I have joined this wonderful office and amazing team. With a background in hospitals and a passion for patient care. I love helping patients navigate their appointments with ease and answering any questions you might have in scheduling and insurance and making sure you get the best care you need. Outside the office I love and enjoy any time I can spend doing fun things and adventures with my 3 beautiful kids and traveling and making memories with them. I also love cooking for my family. It's my favorite love language. We look forward to helping you and welcoming you to our dental family!
