Meet Our Dental Team

Brande
Front Office
Brande has been working with our lovely team since 1990. When thinking of the office, she feels that the team really makes an effort to connect with the patients and strives to treat them like family. She enjoys working with her team members, whom she has been with for numerous years and considers close friends. She honestly loves to come to work every day and strives to learn new and better ways to be successful at her job. She looks forward to meeting challenges and enjoys helping patients navigate through all aspects of their dental visit.

Brande is married to her high school sweetheart, Dan. They have four young adult children. They have two boys, along with twin girls. All of their kids are into sports, and they have enjoyed watching them compete.

Tracy
Front Office
Tracy has been with us since 1995. She feels as though all her coworkers and Dr. Gallegos are part of her family. The patients mean the world to her, and she appreciates that each one offers their own story and experiences. Tracy is very invested in the practice because of all the people associated with it. She contributes by doing her best to ensure all aspects of the practice are optimized and that the patients are being taken care of.

Tracy and her husband, David, have two adult children. They became grandparents in recent years, and Tracy believes being “Nana” is truly magical. In her free time, Tracy enjoys getting her hands dirty in the garden and is a caretaker of the flower beds in the front of her church. She also enjoys making quilts for veterans through Quilts of Valor and loves a good read.

Stacie
Registered Dental Assistant
Stacie became a part of our team in 2004. She graduated from Spokane Community College and has been a dental assistant for over 30 years. She enjoys being part of a strong team that puts patient care first in a relaxed environment. She is always advocating for the patient and helps them throughout the process of their dental treatment. Stacie strives to educate our patients on oral care and how it affects their overall health.

Stacie has been married for over 30 years and has two grown children. Outside of the office, she enjoys working out, kayaking and spending family time on the Pend Oreille River.

Yvette
Sterilization Technician and Registered Dental Assistant
In 2018, Yvette joined our fantastic team. She has a degree in respiratory therapy and worked in the field for six years until she decided to stay at home to raise her family. When her children were older, Yvette went back to work as a preschool assistant for nine years and then later looked for a change. Fortunately, she found our dental office and trained to become a dental assistant. She comes to work with a positive attitude and enjoys working with our team and visiting with patients. She helps contribute to our success by being a team player and always being willing to help when needed.

Yvette and her husband have four children and one Chiweenie, all of which have brought such joy to their lives. She loves spending time with her family and friends, as well as going boating on the lake.
