Tricia - Implant Coordinator
I was born in New Mexico and raised in Jones, Oklahoma where I attended high school and participated in basketball and track. After graduating from Jones High School, I attended Oklahoma Christian College on a basketball scholarship. I continued my education at Northern Oklahoma Junior College and the University of Central Oklahoma, where I received certification as a Paraprofessional for Special Needs Children.
My husband, Randy and I, now live in Edmond with our two children, Grant and Gabrielle. Grant, who is eleven, and Gabbi, who is eight, both attend Northern Hills Elementary and are actively involved in school and extracurricular activities.
I spend most of my time with family outdoors and working on gardening and landscaping projects. My family and I are sports fanatics and love traveling to watch my kids games and competitions, whether it is baseball – football – basketball – tennis.
I have worked with Dr. Henderson since he started his practice, and thoroughly enjoy the opportunities that I get to help patients become healthier. I look forward to meeting with you. If there are any questions for me, I will be happy to help out. |
Amy - Patient Care Coordinator
My previous dental experience involved working for now retired periodontist, Dr. John Krizer, for six and a half years. I have been the patient care coordinator for Dr. Henderson since January 2004. I have very much enjoyed working in dentistry and always look forward to meeting and taking care of our wonderful patients.
The place where I call home has and always will be Oklahoma, but my husband and I love to travel. Whether it is back home to Southern Oklahoma for a family visit or to another state. We love to see and experience different cultures and beautiful landscapes. I also enjoy music, movies/theatre and watching my younger brother play basketball. I find myself happiest when I am able to share in any of those things with my family and friends near. |

Victoria - Hygiene Coordinator
I have over 25 years experience in the periodontic field. Before joining Dr. Henderson's practice in January 2005, I worked for Dr. Chet Wilks as the office manager. It has been a pleasure to become acquainted with Dr. Henderson's and Dr. Krizer's existing patients, as well as continuing to work together with Dr. Wilks' patients, as the three practices have merged. As the Hygiene Coordinator, I look forward to regular patient contact. I enjoy scheduling recare appointments with the hygienists. I am very excited about working together as a team to better serve our patients needs.
I have been happily married to my husband, Gary, for many years. We are native Oklahomans. We live in Yukon with our two dogs Twister and Solo. We are enjoying the "empty nest" phase of our lives now that our children are all grown. I have one daughter who is married with her Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology. I am also blessed with four stepchildren and four step-grandchildren.
During my time away from work I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. My hobbies and interests include cooking, scrap booking, movies, walking, and sight seeing.
Patti - Financial Care Coordinator
I was born and raised in Oklahoma. Although in 1974, I moved to California with my mom in 1982 I came back for a 2 week visit and never left! This is home.
I have been in the medical field for the last 10 years and have just begun my dental career with Dr. Henderson's office. I am very excited to be a part of his team. I'm looking forward to the opportunity of expanding my dental knowledge.
I have three grown children with families of their own and a son at home. I stay very busy with my son and all of his extracurricular activities. I also enjoy traveling, dancing, movies, and spending time with my family and friends.

I have been involved in dentistry for approximately 5+ years. After raising my children, I returned to school to pursue another career. I obtained an Associate in Applied Science at Rose State College and became a Certified Dental Assistant.

April - Surgical Assistant
I was born in California and have lived a number of places following my father's military career until he retired from Tinker Air Force Base.
