Photos are coming soon.

 Drop by the office at any time, though, to meet the Team!

The Front Office

Mary Corey, our business office manager, has been with the practice since 1995.  She is our insurance whiz, and actually enjoys it!  Mary has also implemented patient-friendly financing options for our patients that have made access to care much easier to obtain. Outside the office, she and her husband enjoy boating, fishing, and being in the outdoors with the deer, bears, and her grandson (not necessarily in that order).  She is currently cultivating an interest in "monster trucks" which is her grandson's current obsession.

Dawndi Hanson has been our receptionist and scheduling coordinator since 2005.  Her background in dentistry goes back to 1990.  Inasmuch as she is the first contact our patients have with the practice, every member of our Team trusts her to care for them as if they were members of the family.  Dawndi and Joe are very proud of their two daughters (who keep them young at heart).  

Jan (Hudson) has been with the practice since 1972 (and with her husband, Phil, since 1965).  She graduated from The University of Southern California School of Dental Hygiene (too many years ago) and after practicing for a few years, retired to devote her full attention to home-making.  Over the course of 35 years, she and Phil raised seven wonderful children, and for many years now, she has worked behind the scenes in the practice.  Jan is the glue that holds things together when things gets hectic.

Our Dental Hygienist

Joanna Lane-Reed was our lead dental assistant for 10 years, before she took a leave-of-absence to return to Dental Hygiene School at Eastern Washington University.  After graduating with honors, she returned to our office to become reacquainted with our patients and put to clinical use the pearls of wisdom she received in the academic environment.  As a former dental assistant who "cut her teeth" in our high-tech practice, she brings a a refreshing longitudinal perspective to the care of every one of her patients.

Our Dental Assistants

Angela Bradford is the most recent addition to our team,and brings a fresh, young perspective to our practice, as well as significant skills as an accomplished dental assistant with over seven years of experience.  She grew up in the Palouse and in Western Washington, and loves her new home in Spokane and at our Center for Advanced Dentistry. Angela was a straight-A student in school and brings the same work ethic to our practice. She has a contagious smile and an outgoing personality that immediately puts our patients at ease.  In her leisure time she enjoys outdoor sports and horseback riding. 

Kathy Buescher has been in dentistry for over 30 years, and has been a member of Dr. Hudson's team for over ten years.  She really enjoys the family feeling in our office, and has a great time with her teammates and our patients.  Providing high tech dentistry drew her to the practice, and before long she was our lead dental assistant.  Kathy was born and raised in our community and loves being a sister, wife, mother, grandma,m and friend.  Her leisure hours are spent sailing on Lake Coeur d'Alene with her husband Karl.
