Vickie Quasebarth

Vickie has been a dental hygienist at Avalon for 2 ½ years. She came to us via a big career change – she went back to school when she was 50 and began her five-and-a -half -year trek, first earning a business degree! Then Carroll Robertson (Dr. Rick’s wife) told her, “I see something special in you…” Vickie did some research, then went to dental school, and loved it! She says, “It was a challenge for me, but at my first clinical, I knew I’d made the right choice.” Today Vickie says, “I love my job!” She loves working with people and making them feel better about themselves. She wants to get to know people and if they’re nervous, she’s going to talk with them, ask questions, and put them at ease through their whole experience at Avalon. “The littlest things make the biggest difference,” she says. She prides herself in her gentleness and on the fact that she likes to make the kids laugh!

Vickie has seen people change completely – from coming in anxious to completely at ease. We know her empathy and compassion has a lot to do with those transformations! Vickie has taught a group of ladies scrap-booking for the last 18 years. She’s taken them on weekend jaunts to make crafts, Christmas cards, crafts and just have fun! She also enjoys camping with her 4 children and 12 grandchildren, gardening, and spending time with her husband, Ed.

When you’re in my chair, I will do my very best to make you feel comfortable and relaxed while I help you reach an optimal level of oral health.”

When Jessica is with children, she gets on their level making their dental experience fun, exciting and hands-on. She wants to be sure they know being at the dentist can be great!
