Kathleen is a Registered Dental Hygienist who believes in clear communication and a calm, caring approach to dental care. After nearly two decades, she still finds her profession exciting and rewarding!
When Kathleen was in 5th grade, she remembers her hygienist showing her X-rays. She was intrigued and wanted to be just like her. Following high school, she became a credentialed dental assistant, earning a radiology certificate, and later a dental hygienist. Her continuing education courses are a vital part of her practice, because they allow her to give her patients the utmost in care and to provide the latest answers to their important questions. Her personal goal is to help each of our patients learn how to be successful with their own dental health. Interestly, one of her daughters is now a dental hygienist too!
When Kathleen is not chairside in her role as a skilled hygienist, she leads an active lifestyle hanging out with her family, enjoying yoga, hiking, biking, running and rollerblading. Kathleen’s vision was to become a freelance hygienist so she could spend time with her out-of-state grandchildren. She took on a rigorous second hygiene licensure program in Florida so she and her husband could live the dream and enjoy "play stays" with them several times a year while she maintains her role here in Dr. Greenhalgh’s office. How cool is that!
As a California native who grew up just outside of Yosemite National Park and who’s lived in Colorado for the past 35+ years, Kathleen says that "mountain and beach air feed my soul!"
“Dr. Greenhalgh surpasses our patients’ expectations with his results and personal attention to their needs. Even we, his staff, are continually ‘wowed’ by his skills, professionalism and focused attention to detail – and we thought we’d seen it all.”
