Margenia Stewart, DAII Front 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 8 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 go camping.  He has a teenage daughter that keeps us busy a lot also.  We have 2 dogs that rule the house that we also enjoying biking and walking with.

Karla Moore, Dental Assistant
Since starting here in 2001, I’ve transitioned from hygiene coordinator to Dr. Ryan Kraska’s dental assistant.  Everyday is a great learning experience and is molding me into a better assistant.  Helping patients that are nervous and need a comforting voice to calm their fears is what I do best.  I have been married since 2001 to the man of my dreams.  No kids yet but maybe soon!  We enjoy going on cruises and quite time together.  We are also very active in the youth ministry at our church.
