Lindsey

Fascinated by science, health, the human body and teeth in particular, Lindsey began her career in kindergarten. In fact, she was the official “tooth puller” on the playground. Combining this with her love of meeting and getting to know new people, Lindsey feels she has the best of both!  After attending Brigham Young University Hawaii where she graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Pre-Professional Biology, Lindsey returned to her hometown of Lake Tapps.  Shortly thereafter, Lindsey began working for Dr. Marinkovich and finds she is most rewarded by her career when patients leave happier because of the care they have received. When not at work, she enjoys hiking, boating, traveling, and spending time with her husband and her family.   

Melinda

Melinda’s family inspired her to pursue a career in healthcare as many of her family members are employed within the profession. Now after nine years, she most enjoys hearing how dental care has positively impacted her patients and when they leave with a smile on their face.

Her favorite sweet indulgence is good chocolate and she loves animals, especially her dog Gizmo.

Jacquie

Originally from Olympia, Jacquie attended Eastern Washington University and graduated in 2006 with a degree in Dental Hygiene. Driven by a strong interest in science and health, Jacquie began her career in the dental profession as a dental assistant.  She has now worked with Dr. Marinkovich since 2008 as his hygienist. She most enjoys building relationships and educating each of her patients on the importance of overall health and continued dental care. In her free time, Jacquie enjoys the outdoors, exercising and crafting. Her friends and family make her most happy as well as volunteering her time with children and others in need.

All of our staff attend many continuing education courses throughout the year to stay abreast of the most current and ever-evolving dental technologies.
