Valrie Johnson, RDH/Treatment Coordinator
We happily welcomed Valrie to Ridge Crest in March 2014 as a part-time hygienist and full time treatment coordinator. Valrie meets with all new patients once Dr. Moulton has recommended treatment and helps make financial arrangements. If you have dental insurance, Valrie has reviewed your benefits and will explain to you what your insurance may pay towards your treatment. If you have comprehensive needs, Valrie will meet with you and Dr. Moulton during a Treatment Conference following your initial New Patient Exam. During the Treatment Conference, Dr. Moulton will explain your conditions, tell you about the risks of not proceeding with treatment & the benefits of doing treatment, and then present his recommended treatment for your optimal outcome. Valrie will be recording everything Dr. Moulton is telling you and then she will meet with you to help make financial arrangements for the recommended treatment and explain any insurance coverage, if applicable. She is an extremely focused and driven individual who will work hard to find comfortable arrangements for you. Valrie is so versatile and extremely beneficial to our team!

Jamie loves to help patients understand their individual dental health conditions and she has a passion for teaching patients, other hygienists & even dentists about the link between periodontal disease and overall health!

In fact, she is a member of Inspired Hygiene where she teaches dental offices around the United States to improve their hygiene departments to take better care of their patients. How awesome is it that she is right here to see our patients several times per month?
