I have been in the dental community for over 20 years, I enjoy helping my patients understand their dental insurance and guiding them to make the best decision for achieving their dental goals. When I am not at the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our 3 grown children. We enjoy cooking, playing games and being outdoors. We are the proud owners of 3 Australian Sheperd's.

Karen, Hygienist

Graduated from Lane Community college and have been practicing dental hygiene since 1984. I have specialized in periodontal hygiene for the last twelve years. When you don't find me at the office, I enjoy riding my bicycle and hiking. Enjoy traveling to other countries to learn about different cultures and take in the different scenery.

Seungwon, Hygienist

Hello, I'm Seungwon An, also known as Sue :) I recently joined the dental team as a newbie hygienist since this January. I graduated from the Dental Hygiene program at Portland Community College. I'm passionate about dental health and enjoy providing quality care to our patients. Outside of work, I'm a homebody who loves cooking Korean dishes and spending time with my dogs. When the weather is nice, I'm always up for hiking, picnicking, and camping with my loved ones!

Charity, Lead Dental Assistant

As the lead dental assistant, I would like to welcome you to Barnes Dental. I joined the practice in 2018 and I am honored to be a part of this team. We strive to provide each and every patient with a customized care plan, this is not only professional but is also informative. A patient’s understanding of their care is particularly important to us. Our top priority is to create a comfortable experience every step of the way. Prior to finding Barnes Dental I worked in sales, then later transitioning into personal care giving where I discovered my passion for health care. The most rewarding aspect of my job is building trustworthy relationships with our patients and their families. When I am not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and family, we enjoy traveling and cooking! We also love the PNW and enjoy all it has to offer. I look forward to meeting you!
