MEET OUR TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS

I have been in the dental field since 1991, starting off as a dental assistant. I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Mattingly as his assistant when he first came to work with the previous owner, Dr. Fastabend as an associate in 1997. I was cross-trained in both back and front office from the very start of my dental career, which makes my job easier knowing the intricacies of the doctor's needs and helping the office run seamlessly. As Office Manager, I aspire to continuously provide the utmost quality of care to our patients. I am very blessed to work with an amazing office and dedicated team that share the same work ethics. 

Outside of the office, I enjoy the outdoors – hiking, cycling, running, traveling, reading, and most of all, spending time with my husband and three children.

Hello, my name is Michele and I have been working in the dental field since I was in high school. I have worked as an office floater, a dental assistant, and a receptionist/practice administrator. I am currently Dr. Mattingly's patient coordinator and have been happy to work here for the past three years. I help schedule your appointments, make financial arrangements, and bill your insurance. I enjoy working with patients and look forward to seeing you on your next visit. I love working with Dr. Mattingly, Dr. Tan, and our wonderful office team. In my spare time I like to garden, sew, and run.

I graduated from Diablo Valley College Dental Hygiene Program in 2013. I live in Concord with my husband, our dog (Luna) and cat (Theia).  I love hiking, cooking, painting, gardening and being in nature. 

I hail from New York City and began my dental career as a Dental Tech, while serving in the Navy Waves in ’67. At the behest of the Navy dentists, I decided to apply for Dental Hygiene school, using my GI Bill. I worked in Oakland and Foster City for 10 & 12 years respectively, before arriving at this office in January of ’86. On a personal note, I also taught aerobics for about 10 years, in the mid 80’s - 90’s, danced jazz in a chorus line and have flirted with ballroom dancing. I reside in Benicia and have a 12 year old, Shiba Inu named Suki, meaning “love“ in Japanese.

I’ve been practicing dental hygiene for over 20 years after graduating from Central Piedmont in Charlotte, North Carolina. I took time off to raise my kids and returned to work about 13 years ago. I’ve had the pleasure of working Saturdays in this office since then. I enjoy introducing our patients to many resources available to better their oral health, including Water Piks, Invisalign and Implants. When I’m not working, I’m spending time with my 3 dogs, catching a movie, or sharing a glass of wine with friends.

I am a gentle, carrying dental hygienist who practices comfortable, health centered dental hygiene with strong emphasis on getting to know each and every of my patients. I love my work and always try my best to make your visit here a pleasant one. In 2012 I graduated from DVC Dental Hygiene Program and I have been with Dr. Mattingly’s practice ever since. My main goal is to improve my patients overall health by educating on how dental issues can affect their general health. When not at the office, you can find me camping in the mountains or traveling in Europe.
