Tracy
Registered Dental Hygienist
Hello, my name is Tracy and I am a Registered Dental Hygienist with Montrose Family Dental.
I am originally from Ellensburg, Washington, where I studied and practiced dental hygiene for 14 years. Over the last two years, my family and I often traveled to Montrose for vacations and quickly realized this was home. My husband, three kids and I love camping, fishing, motorcycling, and hiking. On any given weekend you can find us enjoying the outdoors. We are excited to be living in such an incredibly beautiful state.
I am honored to be a part of Montrose Family Dental. The team is not only kind, but also committed to giving the best care possible to each and every patient. My patients are the reason I love being a hygienist. I enjoy getting to know each of them and giving them the care they need and deserve.
Dr. Drakulich’s Note:
“Tracy comes to our office with a great level of experience and has fit right in providing excellent patient care. She has done a wonderful job working into the flow of our office and learning our protocols. This can be a challenge coming from another office, but I feel Tracy’s attitude and professionalism have made the transition very smooth. Early on I could tell Tracy was a skilled and efficient clinician and a wonderful fit for our team. I’m sure when you meet Tracy you will know immediately that she will take excellent care of you and your family!”
Hollee
Registered Dental Hygienist
My career began in Tucson, AZ but after several visits to Colorado and falling in love with Montrose my family and I decided to leave the desert and settle here in 2013. It has been a wonderful decision! My husband and 2 boys love the outdoors and the endless opportunities to explore new things. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, bicycling, volleyball and softball.
What I love about practicing hygiene with Dr. Dan and the team is that I am able to combine my passion for serving patients with cleanings and provide instruction that helps improve their dental health. It is wonderful to work with a team so dedicated to patients overall well being.
Dr. Drakulich’s Note:
“Hollee is our Registered Dental Hygienist and joined our team from Arizona, where she received her hygiene training and education. Hollee is passionate about dental hygiene and it really shows. Patients continually comment how thorough Hollee is! I consider our hygiene department to be a very strong and integral part of our team. Hollee is part of “Team Hygiene” and will help ensure your foundation for your teeth is both happy and healthy!”
Kylee
Hygiene Assistant
Hi, my name is Kylee and I am the Hygiene Assistant here at MFD. I work with Hollee, our Registered Hygienist, to provide exceptional care throughout routine cleanings.
I am a Colorado Native that grew up here in Montrose County. After graduating high school I worked retail for a year and a half before having the opportunity to begin my career as a dental assistant. In my spare time, I enjoy camping, practicing photography, and spending time with my three dogs.
I am extremely proud to be a part of the MFD team. My coworkers make me look forward to work every day and I love being able to provide exceptional care for all of our patients.
Dr. Drakulich’s Note:
“Kylee is the key to Team Hygiene! Kylee interacts with and treats patients, but beyond that she makes everything flow in the treatment area of our office. She wears many many hats while at work and always keeps us on track. Her desire and willingness to learn has been an incredible asset. While becoming incredibly proficient at her job, she remains humble and hungry to learn and do more. I’m super excited to see where she goes within our office and the dental field!”
Courtney
Dental Assistant /Patient Coordinator
My name is Courtney and I am the Patient Coordinator and Dental Assistant at our office. I work in both the front office and also chair side assist Dr. Dan.
I am happily married and my husband and I enjoy the Colorado lifestyle. While we don’t have children yet we have enough animals to keep us busy! I enjoy horseback riding, camping, fishing, archery and barrel racing.
What I enjoy most at our office is patient care and on-boarding new patients into the practice. Also, all of my team members are such hard workers, I feel blessed to be one of them! I have been able to grow both personally and professionally in my time here and I look forward to each new experience.
Dr. Drakulich’s Note:
“Courtney is an enormous asset to the overall function of the practice. I can’t tell you how many times a day I hear “Wow Dr. Dan, that Courtney is SO nice”. She has a knack for making patients feel very comfortable while providing excellent care. Courtney’s role in the office is ever-expanding. I am so proud of her transition from Hygiene Assistant to New Patient Coordinator/Dental Assistant, she is dependable and hardworking and I have loved watching her expand her talents, she is the perfect friendly face to coordinate new patients while making established patients feel at ease.”
Nicole
Administrative Assistant
Hello, my name is Nicole and I am the front office Administrative Assistant for MFD. I am usually the voice you will hear scheduling and the face you will see greeting you in the office! I have worked in the dental field for several years and really enjoy being a part of this amazing team!
My husband and I got married in 2002 and have two wonderful children. Our son recently graduated Marine boot camp and our daughter is going to be a senior at Montrose High School. We love doing all things outdoors.
I have loved getting to know this great group of team members and all of our fantastic patients. I am definitely feeling blessed to be a part of this team that is so dedicated to the best patient care available.
Dr. Drakulich’s Note:
“Nicole has been a great addition to our team! She is quick with a laugh and smile, always doing her best to make patient experiences in our office positive. Nicole brings knowledge of the dental field with her and has done a great job learning the ins and outs of a general dental practice. She is always willing to help and I trust will make your interactions with the front office smooth and enjoyable.”
Christa
Administrative Assistant
Hi! My name is Christa, and I am one of the Administrative Assistants at Montrose Family Dental. I work with Nicole to keep the front office covered!
Originally from Arkansas, I moved here to Colorado with my husband in January of 2021. It’s been a big change, but totally worth it. Colorado is simply a different type of beauty – it’s awe-inspiring! I love the wide-open valleys, fenced in with mountains and hills. It makes for great trail riding – one of my favorite hobbies. I start, train, and show horses in western events in my free time, but I love getting to hit the trails as well. If I’m stuck indoors, you’ll find me sewing, crocheting, or eating way too many sugary foods that would be frowned upon by Dr. Dan!
Being part of the team here at Montrose Family Dental has been such a blessing. Everyone is so like-minded when it comes to patient care and attention to details. It’s been a great experience getting to learn new skills from the best practice around!
Dr. Drakulich’s Note:
““I think I just lost the ‘sweetest phone voice in the office’ title”…..Courtney. That’s how you will know if you reach Christa on the phone! Christa is doing a great job of learning our office protocols. She is always happy and incredibly helpful handling any patient concerns. As she continues to grow and learn within our practice, she proves to be an incredible asset to our patients and other team members. Starting without any dental experience, Christa is learning more everyday! I’m happy to have her as part of our team!”
