Front Desk Staff

Jeanne Withers- Office Manager

 I joined the team at Pinecreek Dental in 2008, and I love working here. I am the Financial Coordinator for the office, and would love to work with you on planning your dental care. We have such a caring, professional staff to handle all of your dental needs. I love the look and confidence of patients after they see the results of great dental care.

Geri Spain

I recently joined the Pinecreek Dental team in 2017 and will be working in the front reception area while I learn the office routines of this extremely community oriented office. Our family moved to Salmon to raise our daughter in a rural atmosphere, and we enjoy giving back to our community in many ways. My husband Jim, our daughter Sarah, and myself have come to know "Pinecreek Dental as one of Idaho's premier Dental healthcare providers!" I consider this my "Salmon dream job" and it is my distinct pleasure to be part of this winning team. I cannot wait to meet you at your next appointment! 

Hygiene

Marie Ando

 My husband Norm and I moved to Salmon with a Forest Service transfer in 1991. Along with our two daughters, we grew to love the rivers and mountains of this pristine area. I have been a registered dental hygienist since 1977 (yes, I started at age 12) and still enjoy helping people achieve optimal dental health and improving the appearance of their smiles through teeth cleanings and whitening procedures. I have worked in this office since 1992. 

Marti Bryant

I have been a member of the Pinecreek Dental team since 2012. I graduated Cum Laude from OIT with a bachelor's degree in Dental Hygiene. Born and raised in Salmon, I am happy to be living in my home town. I was a member of the 2005 state winning hockey team and continues to play and coach U19 girls team. Whether floating, paddle boarding, rock hounding or fishing; I love to spend time on the river. In my free time I enjoy spending time with family, friends and fur babies, as well as working on my yard and garden. 

Katelynn Overacker

Also known as “Katy O,” I was born and raised in beautiful Salmon. I graduated from Idaho State University with a Bachelor Degree in Dental Hygiene. I then decided the city was not for me and came running home. I was very active and involved in high school not only in my academics and sports career, but also throughout the community volunteering and participating in local events. Outside of hygiene, I absolutely adore my family. I am the oldest of two children, and have been told I "motherhen" my little brother. I am excited to be able to give back to the Salmon community and share my passion towards oral hygiene with my patients.  

Meet the Doctor

Dental Assitants

Kim Yadon

I joined the staff at Pinecreek Dental in 2006 as a Certified Dental Assistant, after moving to Salmon with my husband, Steve. I have four grown children, and one grand-daughter. I have been a dental assistant for over 30 years and love working with our staff and the patients that come to our office. Educating and helping patients with their dental needs has been very rewarding. I look forward to keeping up on new dental education and serving the people of Salmon as your dental office.  

Kaite Stanger

I have been a Certified Dental Assistant since 2009, working in dental offices in Idaho Falls and Jackson, Wyomying. I was born in Idaho Falls. I have close family ties here in Salmon, and have spent many summers and school breaks here with my grandparents. The opportunity to move to Salmon in 2014, was like coming home. My husband Chris is also from Idaho Falls, with strong ties to the ranching community there. We both love the outdoors and are always ready for new adventures. It's important to both of us, that we contribute to our community in a professional and committed way. 


A bonus for living and working in a small town is that all our patients feel like family. The feeling makes it very easy and gratifying to be a professional CDA, that my family and community can count on. 

Courtnee Bowen

   I joined the team at Pinecreek Dental in 2017. I was born and raised in Salmon, and after going to school returned back to Salmon where I married my husband, Kyler. We enjoy camping, riding our motorbikes, and spending time with our two year old. You can find me greeting and scheduling patients at the front desk, or in the back assisting with Dr. Joe!
