Our Staff

Margenia Stewart, Office Administrator

I began working for Dr. Jan Kraska in 1997.  I started as a chairside dental assistant but now you can find me anywhere in the office.  From treatment plan presentations, to pouring impressions, I love it all!  Making sure patients are well informed and receive the attention they deserve is my daily goal.  Away from the office I enjoy spending time with my husband and our 3 children.  As a family we love to watch movies, go fishing, or catch some sun by the pool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Teresa Hampson, RDH Dental Hygienist

I have been working for Dr. Jan Kraska for over 10 years.  As a dental hygienist I thrive to educate patients about their oral health.  There’s no better reward than seeing a patient with improved hygiene at their next appointment.  I have a wonderful husband and we have 2 dogs, Annie and Rudy.  I enjoy doing things outdoors and love hot, sunny days!  My husband and I are very active in our church activities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trish Padovani-Watlington, Dental Assistant

When I started working at the Kraska Center in 1999 I was a scheduling coordinator.  I then moved into dental assisting and found my drive.  The best part of my day is handing a mirror to a patient and seeing the excitement on their face when they see their new smile.  Away from the office my husband and I love to ride our motorcycle and camp.  We adopted a beautiful baby girl in 2009 that has changed our lives beyond what we could have ever imagined.
