Pat
Pat – Office Staff
Pat grew up in the beautiful Willamette Valley and graduated from Weston Mennonite High School in Salem, OR. As a little girl she liked to play “secretary” and knew from a very young age that she wanted to be behind a desk and work with people. Working at Snake River Dental has more than fulfilled that childhood dream and she loves that fast pace and variety of tasks that come across her desk every day.

Pat’s favorite part about working at Snake River Dental is welcoming and meeting people when they walk through the doors of our office. Pat realizes that not everyone is a fan of visiting the dentist and she wants to do the best she can to help them feel comfortable and make their visit to our office a positive experience. When a patient comes in feeling anxious and leaves smiling it makes Pat’s day! Pat believes that being part of the team at Snake River Dental is second only to patient care. The relationships between the staff members is a major key to our success. She looks forward to seeing her coworkers every workday and the friendliness and warmth everyone has for one another sets the tone and atmosphere of the office. This is turn creates the same atmosphere of warmth and friendliness for our patients. Every day is a good day at Snake River Dental!

Dr. Moore has an excellent rapport with the patients and provides excellent dentistry. Pat would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a new dentist, especially anyone who has experienced dental phobia. Dr. Moore’s bedside manner will make you feel at ease and he will take his time to explain things so you are comfortable. And who knows, you may even find yourself looking forward to your next visit to the dentist’s office!

Pat met her husband Wayne in high school. They were married in 1982 and moved to the high desert in (VERY) rural Christmas Valley, OR, where they farmed alfalfa hay for 20 years. She loved life on the farm but not the 90 mile drive to Bend, OR for groceries, haircuts, banking or to see the dentist! 😀 In 2000 Pat and her husband began a new adventure when they purchased the Neat Retreat Manufactured Home Park in Fruitland, ID, sold their farm and moved to Idaho! Being married to an avid outdoorsman, Pat has enjoyed the activities that the state of Idaho provides. She enjoys camping and hanging out around the camp to keep the “campfires burning” while her husband hunts and fishes. When time allows she enjoys reading a good book, playing table games with friends and family, watching TV and visiting with people. She recently become a member of the Miss Western Idaho Board, which is a scholarship program for young women in Payette and Washington counties.
