Shannon

Office Manager
I work at the front desk greeting patients with a smile. I make it my goal for you to feel at home and at ease in our lovely office. I have been in the dental field for over 8 years, and I love using that knowledge to help each patient achieve their optimal dental care experience.

Rogue Valley Dental Center is truly a one of a kind practice. Dr. Taucher and Dr. Burnham are amazing dentists who provide the best dental care to each and every patient.

When I'm not working, I love spending time with my beautiful daughter, Madison, as well as with my dog, Kalvin. I enjoy doing fun activities with friends and family.

Laura

Treatment Coordinator
Hello! As the treatment coordinator for RVDC it’s my joy to help each patient understand their proposed treatment plan and to get them scheduled in a timely manner. With almost 9 years in the dental field, I enjoy using my skills to help each patient to the fullest, so everyone leaves with a clear understanding of their treatment, as well as a smile. I am a native of Southern Oregon, and in my spare time I enjoy getting outside my family, gardening, and crafting. I love having the opportunity to get to know every one of our amazing patients, and I look forward to meeting you!

Allyson

Insurance Coordinator
Hello! And welcome to Rouge Valley Dental. A lot of different rolls play in running a Dental Practice. And each is very important! Making sure your insurance information is correct is my biggest roll! As well as getting to see all of your smiling faces. A little bit about me, I love to cook! New recipes and restaurants are always appreciated. I am very new to the area and I would love to hear about your favorite camping and hiking spots. I have two dogs, Luna my two year old husky and Alice my goofy 10 year old black lab. They fill my life with so much joy and enjoy their nightly walks. Thank you for taking your time to read my bio. My goal for all patients is that you leave with a smile .

Rouge valley Dental team is excited to meet you!

Kathy

EFDA, Dental Assistant
I am a compassionate, kind and fun person. I love working with my patients to help them feel at ease and comfortable with the treatment they are getting. Working with Dr. Taucher and Dr. Burnham has been wonderful. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband doing outdoor activities. And the most precious time of ours is spending time with our granddaughter.

Lori

RDH, Dental Hygienist
I have worked here as a registered dental hygienist for 12 years. This has given me enough time to really get to know my patients and detect subtle changes in their mouths over time. I love educating my patients on how to improve their overall health. Making that connection is important, and I love getting people excited about improving their teeth and gums! At home, I live with my husband, Phil, our two children, Anna and Ben, and our dog Mazy. My family and I like to hike and camp together!

Julie

Carly

Registered Dental Hygienist
Hi I'm Carly. I have been in dentistry for over a decade. I like helping people. I understand that not everyone loves going to the dentist, so I want to make your experience here a great one. I love learning from the patients I see and laughing.

When I am not shining up smiles, I am hiking, kayaking or at the beach. My husband and I recently moved from the Bay Area to make the Rogue Valley our home. Along with our cat Mrs. Buttons, and our dog Brady we like to garden and BBQ. We love the Rogue Valley and I can't wait to meet you.

Megan

EFDA, Dental Assistant
Hello! I'm Megan. I'm an EFDA certified dental assistant of 13 years. I'm passionate about patient interaction and bringing a more comfortable atmosphere to each dental visit. Dental visits can be uncomfortable and invasive, and a little anxiety inducing (even for me!). In some situations, dental visits have been traumatizing for some people. I enjoy answering questions and explaining the whys and how comes to the best of my knowledge to offer more understanding, easing some of the anxiety. I enjoy offering re-assurance and comfort to make each dental visit more comfortable.

I'm a proud Portland Native, living in the Rogue Valley for about a year and a half. In my spare time I enjoy the gym, hiking, eating, adventuring, and trying to familiarize myself with the Rogue Valley more. I enjoy frequent trips to Portland to visit friends and family.

Thank you for taking the time to read my bio! Can't wait to meet you in person at Rogue Valley Dental Center.
