Assistants
Meet Angi:
Hello! My name is Angi Mills. I have worked for Dr Savage for over 15 years. I am an RDAEF2. RDAEF2 stands for ‘Registered Dental Assistant in Expanded Functions.’ It enables me to place and contour fillings, take master impressions, fill root canals and cement crowns among other things. There are very few RDAEF2’s in California- I feel so blessed to be among them.
In my spare time (what’s that?) I like to do artwork including murals and face painting, play with my two children, take care of the flowers in my yard and redecorate my house. I can’t wait to see you at your next visit! Many smiles and blessings to you.
Meet Adria:
My name is Adria, I was born in Colusa, grew up in Marysville, and have been married for 25 years to my high school sweet heart. We have two wonderful sons ages 13 and 16. I am a RDAEF and have been assisting for 28 years (I took 10 years off to be with my boys). Our family loves entertaining friends and football.
I have been working with Dr Savage for 3 years and have made it my home away from home. We have wonderful patients (the best), and my co-workers are my extended family. I enjoy coming to work because I can be myself. All of us here at River Oaks Dental support each other and together we shine bright. Come check our office out, I guarantee you will feel at home here.
Meet Erica:
Hello, and welcome to our website. My name is Erica and I am currently working at River Oaks Dental as one of the Assistants, so you will find me in the back office. I recently have returned to River Oaks Dental after having the opportunity to stay home for 3 years with my son. I enjoy reading and any activities that involve being outdoor, especially spending time on the lake with my family and friends. Other than that, I would like to welcome you and hope you enjoy being a part of our dental practice as much as I do. I look forward to seeing you around the office!
Meet Kristen:
Hi! I’m Kristen and I am a Registered Dental Assistant. I mostly help out the hygienist, so you’ll probably see me next time you are in for a cleaning. Working for Dr Savage is great, and when you meet them I know you’ll love them. See you soon.
Meet Melinda:
Hi my name is Melinda! I have been an RDA for 10 years. I originally came from the small town of Orland, located near Chico. I have three children- 2 boys and a little girl. My family enjoys the small town atmosphere of Yuba City and the friends we have created here. My favorite thing to do is spend time with my children, shopping and spending time on the lake in our boat. I look forward to getting to know all of my patients. In fact that is the most enjoyable aspect of my job- meeting new people, hearing about their lives, and educating them on all the wonderful aspects of dentistry!
Meet Monica:
My name is Monica and I have been an RDA for over 13 years. I love assisting the doctors and being involved in patient care. I love being back here in Yuba City where I grew up. I have 3 wonderful children who keep me very busy, when I’m not working. My weekends are spent with my family camping, riding our quads, and enjoying each others company. I can’t wait to meet you and to have the opportunity to help make your smile beautiful.
Meet Ronda:
My name is Ronda and I’ve been a life long resident of Yuba City. I graduated from YCHS in ’85. I’ve been married for 23 years to the love of my life and we have 4 children, (3-boys & 1-girl), ages 23-7 yrs old. Okay, I know what you’re thinking, that I look way too young to have a 23 yr old- Yea for oily skin!
As a family, we like to camp a lot in the summer and even in the winter, if we are feeling adventurous. We also ride quads, bike and enjoy BBQ’s with friends & family. Family time is important to us. We are also active in our church with a passion for marriages and seeing them strengthened, fortified and restored through various aspects of marriage ministry & living God’s way.
I am an RDA, just recently integrating back into the work force, after spending the last 12 years @ home raising our wonderful children. I love being around people and put a great emphasis on relationship. I enjoy all the wonderful people I work with everyday and look forward to seeing all the great people like you who make our practice such a joyful place to be.
Meet Shawna:
I am the Sterilization Tech/OSHA Coordinator here at Dr Savage’s office and I love it. My responsibilities here are to keep everything sterile & up to OSHA standards. I also assist were ever I may be needed. I am married and we have 2 wonderful children that keep us very busy. In our spare time, not that we have much, we enjoy camping, biking, and riding our quads. Basically, we enjoy any activity that keeps us outdoors. I hope you enjoy your visit to our office.
Meet Trinadi:
Hello my name is Trinadi. I am a Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) here at River Oaks Dental. I have had the pleasure of working side by side with the best doctors and the greatest staff for a little over a year now. You will always catch me with a big smile on my face. You may remember me taking x-rays of all your beautiful teeth, or sitting next to you during your dental treatment, assisting the Doctor. I went to dental assisting school at Western Career College in Sacramento and graduated as a Dental Assistant (DA) in 2006. After a year of working the in the dental field I decided to better myself and further my career by taking the State Board Exam to become a Registered Dental Assistant of California (RDA). I love my job, and the career path I have chosen in life. I love being able to bring smiles to peoples faces.
I am happily married to a wonderful husband and we have a newborn that we are enjoying very much! I look forward to seeing you, when you come to visit us. Remember to keep those beautiful teeth smiling.
