Jan - Dental Assistant
Jan has been Dr. Murdoch's dental assistant and "right
hand" for over 19 years. She has an extraordinary ability to calm any patient's fears and is constantly going the extra mile for them. Jan has a genuine concern and compassion for all our patients, but her real passion is working with the elderly. She was a past recipient of the distinguished Alzheimer's Volunteer of the Year award and continues to be an advocate for those affected with Alzheimer's. Jan loves spending time with her family that includes four adult sons and a 13 year-old Siberian husky named Kai. In her spare time, she loves camping in Steamboat with family and friends, cooking, yoga, skiing, shopping farmer's markets and vintage antique shops.
Kodi - Dental Hygienist
Hello! My name is Kodi, and I am excited to be a part of the team at the Murdoch practice as a dental hygienist. As a Colorado native, I take great pride in serving my local community and helping patients achieve their best oral health.
Before beginning my journey as a hygienist, I spent two rewarding years working as a dental assistant. This experience not only deepened my understanding of dental procedures but also ignited my passion for patient care. Becoming a hygienist allows me to focus more on educating patients about the crucial link between oral health and overall systemic well-being. I believe that a healthy, happy smile is foundational to a person’s confidence and overall health, and I am dedicated to providing the information and support needed to achieve that.
When I’m not in the office, you can often find me spending quality time with my friends and family, exploring the great outdoors, or finding and trying new yummy recipes. I also enjoy practicing yoga, which I find helps me stay centered and balanced. I look forward to working with you and helping you maintain your smile for years to come!
