Hi, My name is Kadie. I graduated from the Dental Assisting program at Central Lakes College, Brainerd in 2005. I am a Licensed Dental Assistant, but over the years I have cross-trained to work up at the front desk. It’s been said, I wear many hats. I have recently joined the Elk Plaza Team as a Patient Care Coordinator. I knew from the age of 15 that I wanted to go into dentistry after spending much of my own time in the patient chair. I’ve worked in general dentistry over the past 20 years, but I also have experience in Orthodontics and Invisalign. I enjoy helping patients achieve confidence through their smiles.

When I’m not thinking about dental, I’m a mom to a busy 5-year-old. My husband and I have lived here in Elk River since 2015. We love Wild hockey and I grew up figure skating. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I am a third-generation beekeeper, and I am fascinated with honey-making insects. My motto is to “give the bees love and you’ll have nothing to fear”. And also, don’t swat! Don’t even think about swatting!
