The best part of my job is seeing all our wonderful patients walking out with their beautiful smiles every day.

Kaelah
Dental Assistant
Hiiiiii, My names Kaelah! My family and I moved to the PNW from Las Vegas, Nv and we are so excited to explore the natural beauty WA has to offer. I enjoy watching anime, reading books, and going on walks & bike rides with my hubby and kiddos. I’m a total dental nerd and have a true passion for my profession. I originally wanted to be a dentist, for as long as I can remember, but love being a DA! I honestly wish I could change the world’s outlook on dentistry so we wouldn’t be feared anymore & so everyone can be more aware on the importance of their oral health. Working at PAD with Dr. Petrie and the staff has been very welcoming and I couldn’t be happier to be a part of their sweet & amazing team.
