Yvonne

Scheduling Coordinator

I am the first and last person our patients see upon entering and exiting the door to our office. My goal is to always greet and thank them in a way that stresses their value to us not only as a patient, but also a friend. I love coordinating the appointments on the schedule in order to be most productive for our office and to benefit our patients’ busy schedules. Dr. Sanders is not only incredibly gifted in her profession, but she also takes the time to know each patient on a personal level, which explains the extreme loyalty of our patients. Anyone who comes into our office quickly realizes how much we all care for one another.

I have been married to David for 31 years. We have two daughters, Stacey and Christie, one son-in-law, Jordan, and one grandson, Connor. When I have free time I enjoy walking, biking, and attending plays at area theaters. I am also a member of Calvary Baptist Church, Kingsport Chamber of Commerce, Junior League of Kingsport, and the Downtown Kingsport Association.

Debby

Registered Dental Assistant

I work chairside with patients and assist Dr. Sanders. My favorite part of my job is the relationships I have made with my patients. I usually consider them friends rather than patients. Our team tries to make our patients as comfortable as possible. We offer paraffin wax treatments for your hands and spa towels to freshen up after your dental procedure. We strive to be better than the rest.

My husband, Lynn, and I have been married for more than 25 years. We have two children, Nathan and Bailey, and one granddaughter, Scilar, who is the love of our lives. We also have an English lab named Reagan and a Yorkie pup named Scooby. My husband and I are active members of Mt. Zion United Methodist Church. He is a preschool Sunday School teacher and I have worked with the youth and children.

Leigh

New Patient and Complex Case Coordinator

I enjoy meeting new patients and helping with their treatment plans. I help coordinate all phases of treatment from chronological stages to financial, in addition to coordinating with specialists. Dr. Sanders is so very knowledgeable. She is patient and kind when interacting with both patients and her team. She respects us as individuals and encourages us to learn and step out of the box. Our staff enjoys one another and our patients. Laughter is what is most often heard when you stop to listen!

I live with my husband, Bob, and two Jack Russell terriers, Nala and Indy. I have three grown sons, Will, Josh, and Anthony, and two grandchildren, Lochlan and Leyton. I am an avid reader and travel for leisure. I also enjoy many church activities including singing in an ensemble.

Kelly

Registered Dental Assistant

I truly love my opportunity to interact with patients, offering compassion and empathy as I work to make each dental experience one that is not only comfortable but enjoyable! 

I have more than 15 years of chairside experience and enjoy the privilege of not only assisting Dr. Kathy Sanders but also educating patients regarding their treatment and oral health.

Today, I feel extremely blessed to work alongside Dr. Sanders. Her love for dentistry and perfection are contagious!  Daily, she strives to please her patients as well as her team and it is a delight to be a part of such dental excellence.

My husband, Craig, and I, live in Greeneville, Tennessee, and enjoy an active life with our three daughters:  Kara, Carey and Caley.  Our family attends Boone's Creek Christian Church.

In my leisure time, I enjoy running, working out, shopping and watching our children in sports.

Diane

Dental Hygienist

I interact with patients by teaching them how to care for their teeth and gums properly. I give them instruction on their home care and the tools they need to ensure they get the best results. My favorite part of my job is the opportunity to get to know our patients as people, not just as names on our schedule. I also like that I get to give them a chance to feel good about their smile. Dr. Sanders is the best! She is always learning and trying to find new ways to offer the best care to our patients. Our staff all work really well together, and we all try to communicate with one another regarding patient care. Additionally in 2008 I completed the Local Anethesia course for dental hygienists with East Tennessee State University, Johnson City.

I have been married to my husband, Daniel, for almost 15 years. We have been blessed with four beautiful children, Danielle, Isaac, Douglas, and Josie. We also have a lizard named Izzy and a kitten named Sherbert. I love to workout because it helps me clear my mind, and I love to listen to music while I'm doing it. I also really enjoy shooting basketball with my kids and just being outside with them. They are growing up so quickly, and they're so much fun to play with.
