Meet the Team

Jacqueline joined the Kingsgate Dental Clinic team in 1999 as a certified dental assistant, although she now works with money rather than molars up at the front desk. Jacqueline is dedicated to assisting you with your insurance, billing, scheduling, dental financial planning and any other questions you may have. On her days off she enjoys spending time with her family, hiking, and being "crafty".

Mary Ann has worked at Kingsgate Dental Clinic for over two decades. She is involved in everything from answering your questions about insurance plans to helping you make your appointments to everything in between. An avid amateur, but very good, gardener and cook, she enjoys spending her free time making homemade treats for family and friends.

Ponnary grew up in Seattle and currently lives in Bothell, WA. She has been in the dental field since 2007, practicing as a dental assistant for 6 years prior to attending dental hygiene school at Seattle Central College. Through the years, she has developed a great passion for the exciting world of dentistry. It is her goal to provide motivating and inspiring patient experience with a compassionate and nonjudgmental spirit. Ponnary enjoys spending her spare time with friends and family, hiking, practicing yoga, and squeezing in travel time when she can.

Tammy has been a team member of Kingsgate Dental Clinic since 1996. She attended Minnesota State University and graduated in 1983 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Health Science and an Associate of Science Degree in Dental Hygiene.
Health promotion and disease prevention have always been important to Tammy as well as using the latest in technology. 
She finds her profession most rewarding when she is able to help her patients improve their smiles, overcome dental anxiety, and become excited about their oral health. Tammy enjoys various crafts, photography, gardening, cooking, training her pet parrots, spending time with her husband traveling, and experiencing the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

Iris joined the Kingsgate Dental Clinic team in 2017. She found a dental home where she can practice dental hygiene in a professional, fun, and family oriented atmosphere. Iris enjoys meeting new people and getting to know all of her patients. She takes pride in dental hygiene, helping patients improve their oral health, and making it an easy and comfortable experience with personalized care. She likes exploring new food, traveling, cooking, and spending quality time with her family.
