Erica, Registered Dental Assistant
Upon graduating from Allan Hancock College in 1992, I was hired at Pure Pediatric Dentistry on my 20th birthday. What a wonderful gift that turned out to be. Having always wanted to work with children, adolescents, and those with special needs, this job has been a perfect match for me. I work with an amazing group of girls and always look forward to seeing the faces that walk through our doors each day. Over the years, I have found that it is our patients with special needs that have touched my heart tremendously. I moved to Atascadero when I was 4 and love living on the Central Coast. I was blessed in 2009 when I became a proud Aunt of twins, Max and Sophie. They are a joy to be around, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for them and their future.
Chantelle, Office Manager
Being the Treatment Coordinator, I do my best to help you understand and utilize any insurance benefits that you may have. I very much enjoy our team at the office. The diversity in personalities always keeps me smiling. Working with our wonderful patients keeps me on my toes. There is never a dull moment in our office. I was born and raised here on the beautiful Central Coast, graduated from Atascadero High School, and attended Cuesta College. With my free time I like to spend as much of it outside as possible. Whether it be walking our dog Diesel, reading, horseback riding, camping, , or gardening with my husband, Luke and son.
Amanda, Registered Dental Assistant
In March of 2009, I was presented with an amazing opportunity to join Pure Pediatric Dentistry. I was delighted. I enjoy working with children as well as being in the dental profession. I love teeth! Having two of my own children has really helped me in what it takes work with and understand children. It also gives me a parent’s perspective on every day cares and concerns. My husband and I play an active role in our church and community groups where we love spending time with our girls and our family My other love is running and you can often find me running around our local area and competing in marathon and half-marathons.
Andrea, Patient Coordinator
Hi, I'm Andrea, I am most likely the first person you come into contact with in our office. I love being apart of Dr Newsom's team. I have been in dentistry since 2011. I have been fortunate to have worked with adults and children of all ages! You might catch me in back helping out but mainly I try my best to accommodate you by scheduling the appointment that best fits your schedule and providing you with the best care as possible. I really enjoy listening, educating, and serving my patients and find your trust to be a very rewarding part of my day. When I'm not at work, I really enjoy traveling, hiking, and spending time with my family and close friends!
