At Southridge Dental, home to your Sullivan dentist, our office staff members, dental hygienists, and dental assistants are carefully selected based on their professional dental training, capabilities, and experience.
Cat - Office Manager
Kamusta! (Hello in Tagalog) Meet Cat, our Office Manager. Before joining the dental field in 2018, she spent nearly a decade as an Emergency Room Nurse. Since then, she’s managed offices in general dentistry, oral maxillofacial surgery, and orthodontics—bringing a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to patient care which she shares with your Sullivan dentist.
Cat is passionate about building genuine connections with patients. One of her most memorable moments was during a patient’s appointment when their baby became fussy.
With the mother’s permission, Cat gently soothed the baby back to sleep—showing the same compassion she brings to everyone she meets.
Outside the office, Cat’s life is full of energy. She’s a proud mom of three boys—ages 22, 8, and 5—as well as a dog and two cats who keep her home lively and full of love. When she’s not at work, you’ll often find her tending to her plants, enjoying time with her animals, or relaxing at home.
If she had a superpower, it would be the ability to heal—because caring for others is at the heart of everything she does.
Aman - Lead Administrator
Meet Aman, our Admin Lead here at your Sullivan dentist office, and one of the first friendly faces you’ll see when you arrive.
