We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.
I am new to Quincy but not to dentistry. My husband and I moved here in 2020 and really love this close-knit community. I became an Expanded Duties Hygienist in 1991 and have loved taking care of my patients ever since! I really enjoy getting to know each one, making them comfortable and providing an experience that makes them feel valued and cared for.
My husband and I have four grown and flown children, 3 boys and 1 girl. Currently we have one amazing grandchild and are eagerly awaiting more!! Outside of work I enjoy sewing, home decor crafts and DIY and playing with my grandson. My family has always been active outside and we still enjoy as much camping, hiking, snowboarding and fishing as our creaky knees will allow!
I assist Dr. Klingel in all dental procedures and love being part of such a modern, state-of-the-art practice. I have been working here since 2003 and love providing quality dental care for patients with a gentle touch. Our patients are what make our practice so great, and everyone on our team takes the time to know them personally, making sure they are comfortable and happy.
I was raised in Quincy and am a WSU alumnus. My husband Josey and I have three beautiful and busy children, Jaxon, Jourdan, and Jones. We love to golf and play football—if we aren’t playing it then we are watching it!
I’m a local girl and had the pleasure of growing in Ephrata. I went to dental hygiene school at Columbia Basin College in Pasco. I have now been a dental hygienist for almost 10 years! I am newer to this office but love being a part of a team that takes such good care of their patients’ needs. I have spent the majority of my career in western Washington but there is something special about being back in such a small tight knit community. I spend most of my time at home with my husband and three kiddos that are 4, 3, and 10 months old. We are busy at all times but love the life we live here in the small town.
I have enjoyed working at Desert Sun Dental alongside Dr. Klingel, and our hygienists to provide our patients with the dental treatment that best meets their needs. Being bilingual in English and Spanish enables me to easily facilitate our Spanish-speaking patients’ visits. I have been working here since July 2005 in every area of the practice and have enjoyed being part of such a great team.
I love spending my spare time with friends, and family which includes my husband Tony and our two (young adult/teenage) children Anyssa and Isaiah. I have recently started traveling more, which includes trips to visit Anyssa who is now attending the University of Washington in Seattle. I enjoy attending sporting events at my son’s high school. One of my greatest passions is doing volunteer work in my community.
I joined this team as a new assistant in 1974 after graduating from Spokane Community College. I continued working with Desert Sun Dental part-time in the front office and as the bookkeeper. I still spend my Mondays mornings in the office as the bookkeeper and enjoy seeing and visiting with our long-term patients as they come in for appointments.
I partially retired in 2015 to spend more time traveling with my husband Chuck and spending time with our wonderful grandchildren, Jaxon, Jourdan, Jones, Mckinnley, and Paisley.
I am excited to begin my journey in dentistry and feel fortunate to be part of such a welcoming team. I recently graduated with a degree in Psychology, which has strengthened my passion for helping others and understanding their needs. I look forward to building meaningful relationships with our patients and providing the best possible care.
I was raised in Arizona and although I am new to the area, my husband Noah was raised here and we enjoy outdoor adventures, whether it’s hiking, sightseeing, or simply exploring new places. I’m grateful for the opportunity to grow in my profession and to be part of a practice that values compassion, teamwork, and patient care.
Hello! I am Danna; I joined Desert Sun in July of 2025, and have been warmly welcomed by an amazing and supportive team. I’m passionate about creating a comfortable environment where patients feel truly heard and cared for. It's a privilege to be part of a profession that helps people feel confident and healthy about themselves. Outside of work I’m always looking for adventure! Whether that be hiking, fishing, boating or traveling to new places.
