Sydney Keister, RDH I graduated from Oregon State University in 1996 with a B.S. in Public Health and then graduated from UNC in Chapel Hill, NC from the Dental Hygiene program in 2000. I then started with Downtown Dental Associates in the fall of 2002.My duties include patient education, assisting in periodontal disease diagnosis, scaling and root planning procedures, adult prophy, periomaintenance, perio charting, taking x-rays, and sterilization. My favorite thing about dentistry is the relationships I build with my patients, have a stable routine schedule, working with my co-workers, and being able to work two days per week while having a toddler. The thing I like best about Downtown Dental Associates doctors is that they couldn't be more pleasant to work with. They are all kind, have great personalities, and are highly skilled. I'm a native of San Clemente, California. My family consists of my husband, Mike, my two daughters, Kendall and Kourtney. In my free time, I like running, golfing, skiing, and working in real estate. I play in a women's 9-hole golf group on Tuesdays. I love life. Every day is an adventure! |
Kathy Parker, RDH My duties include patient care, education, and supervising the Downtown Dental Associates hygiene department. I graduated from the OHSU Dental Hygiene Program and have been practicing dental hygiene for 37 years. My favorite thing about working at Downtown Dental Associates is having worked with Dr. Osterlind and Dr. Persichetti since 1987 and having the unique opportunity of establishing long-term relationships with my patients.I am a native Oregonian and still live in my hometown of Canby, so I love to travel to broaden my world view. I also enjoy cycling, snowshoeing, collecting cookbooks, cooking (especially Italian), and spending time with my four adult children and husband, Bruce, who I have been married to one day longer than I have been a hygienist! A fun fact about me is that I ride a tandem recumbent bicycle with my husband. |

Michelle Davis, RDH
What I enjoy most about my profession is helping patients attain greater understanding of their mouth as it relates to one's overall health. My experience in the various dental fields provides patients of all ages with an exceptional dental experience in a warm and compassionate way. In my spare time, I especially enjoy activities such as hiking, cross country skiiing, traveling, gardening, cooking and remodeling. |

Sarah Voge, RDH I graduated from Oregon State University in 2003 with a B.S. in Fisheries Science. Then decided to go back school to pursue Dental Hygiene at Austin Community College in Austin, Texas. I graduated from the Dental Hygiene program in 2009.
Being a dental hygienist was a natural fit for me because I love getting to know my patients and help them achieve better dental health. My goal is to provide gentle and thorough care to all my patients. I try to educate without lectures and aim to make coming to the dentist a pleasurable experience.
I grew up in Lincoln City, Oregon. After college in Corvallis, I moved to Austin, Texas for 9 years and moved back to Oregon a couple of years ago to be closer to family. My husband Kyle and I have 2 young children, Natalie and Lucas. In my free time, I like running and spending time with my family.
