LORI

Dental Assistant

I joined Atchison Family Dentistry in 1984 with Dr. Corrigan, continued with Dr. Van Dyne and now get to work with Dr. Patel! My role includes assisting him with patient procedures, general maintenance of equipment and inventory control. I love getting to know our patients on a personal level and helping them achieve all their dental goals.

My husband Bob and I have been married for 35 years. We have two grown daughters, Jennifer (Anthony) and Stephanie (Jacob), as well as three grandchildren, Aaden, Addison and Callie. My hobbies include reading and spending time with my grandchildren.

LISA

Registered Dental Hygienist

I graduated with my Associate's of Science degree in Dental Hygiene from Johnson County Community College in 1987 and joined Atchison Family Dentistry in 1993. We have so much history together here; it is a joy to come to a workplace when I know we will give our patients the best oral care and advice. The transition from Dr. Van Dyne to Dr. Patel in the last few years has been a smooth process and I feel that the staff, in their professional demeanor, has been instrumental.

MICHELLE

Registered Dental Hygienist

I began my career in 1994 after earning my Associate’s degree from Fayetteville Technical College and my Bachelor’s degree from Minnesota State University - Mankato. Since joining Atchison Family Dentistry in 2007, I’ve provided a full scope of dental hygiene services including oral healthcare and education. I really enjoy being a part of this team, their awesome approach to our patients and Dr. Patel’s approach to oral healthcare.

I’ve been married to my husband Michael for more than 30 years; he is a retired Army Officer. We have two grown children and four wonderful grandchildren. I enjoy reading, movies, traveling and hiking in my free time.

ELLIE

Front Office

I joined Atchison Family Dentistry in 2019. Before joining the team at Atchison Family Dentistry, I spent 10 years working as a Department Manager at a local business, which I loved. That experience has helped me excel quickly at my current position supporting our team. I am excited to greet our patients, get to know them and make them feel welcomed at our amazing office. I really believe this is a team that is excited to help the members of our community.

I grew up in Atchison and have very deep, strong ties to the community. Atchison is a wonderful place to be because of the great sense of community here. I have two awesome dogs, Bodhi and Polly, and love to share stories about them. I enjoy how our team strives to make the community for which I love a better place.

PETIE

Front Office/Dental Assistant

Rosella ("Petie") joined our team in the spring of 2019.  She has lived in the Atchison area all her life. She has been in the dental field for over 30 years and is very knowledgeable with both the administrative and clinical aspect of the profession. She wears many hats at the office and prides herself on excellence. Her ultimate goal at Atchison Family Dentistry is to provide our patients with the most comfortable and enjoyable experience as possible. Outside of the office, Petie likes to spend time with Greg, her husband of 17 years, her two cats Bob and Red and her hound dog whose name is Buck.  She enjoys cooking, camping and watching movies.
