Moe
Treatment & Insurance Coordinator
Overcoming obstacles for her patients, be it understanding dental insurance, assisting with financial solutions, or simply working around a patient’s busy schedule, is Moe’s favorite part of her job. She has been with the practice for three years and enjoys dentistry’s challenges and the opportunity to learn something new every day! She and her husband are both K-State alumni (where she received her B.S. in biology) and love attending sporting events and traveling. They have a 13-pound guard dog named Espe who keeps them safe from all the neighborhood squirrels and rabbits, and a 65-pound lab named Murphy who thinks he’s a lap dog. Moe can’t wait to welcome you to Paola Family Dentistry!
Challey
Scheduling & Financial Coordinator
Working at Paola Family Dentistry for the last four years has been wonderful for Challey. She has a B.S. in business from Emporia State University and has found her passion in helping people achieve better oral health! She enjoys catching up with long-time patients and meeting new patients who become part of the PFD family. She feels she has learned so much from everyone at Paola Family Dentistry and enjoys coming to work because the team is a true family.

Carissa invites you to come find out what extra amenities we have to offer at Paola Family Dentistry!
