Abby

Hey there! I’m Abbie, and I’ve been lucky enough to spend over eight years working as a Dental Assistant in Texas, Iowa, and now the Kansas City area.

When I’m not at the office, I’m busy at home with my husband Beau, our two lively kids Luke and Avery, and our two adorable dogs, Oakley and Murphy. We love going on adventures together—whether it’s floating down rivers, camping under the stars, or enjoying a leisurely walk, we are always looking for a good time.

I’m a huge fan of reading, and I’m always on the lookout for the next great book to dive into. I also have a soft spot for Mexican food (who doesn’t love tacos?), and I’m never far from a Coke Zero. Making people laugh is one of my favorite things, whether it’s with my co-workers or our wonderful patients.

The best part of my job? Hands down, it’s making sure that every patient feels comfortable and leaves with a big, happy smile. I love knowing that my work helps brighten someone’s day—and, of course, sharing a few laughs along the way.

Kara

I graduated from Dental Hygiene School in 2006, so I’ve been keeping smiles bright for a while now! I’ve been working with Dr. Boyle since 2019. I have one awesome daughter and two rescue fur babies who rule the house. I’m a road trip fanatic, and every summer, I head to Michigan to soak in the natural beauty—and avoid mosquito bites while hanging with family. Walking is my jam, but when I’m not moving, I’m glued to football, cheering on the Chiefs, Lions, and University of Michigan like it’s my full-time job.

Outside of work I’m spending most of my time with my husband Evan and my dog Duke. We enjoy being outside, traveling, and especially watching Kansas State football on the weekends. CATS BY 90!!

Hannah

My name is Hannah and I am the newest dental hygienist here at the office! I was a dental assistant for 3 years before pursuing hygiene, which led me to relocating from Columbia, MO to Emporia, KS and ultimately landing me in Overland Park.

In my free time I love to take my spoiled dog (Arlo) to the park, hike, read, and travel as much as possible.

Kristen, hailing from Piper, Kansas, started her college career on a volleyball scholarship at KCKCC. She later traded in her volleyball shoes for textbooks at the University of Kansas, earning a degree in Health Information Management. After that, she spent a decade at Cerner, navigating the worlds of IT, Resource Management, and Human Resources. Along the way, she somehow squeezed in an MBA from Ottawa University because, why not?

Kristen and her husband then embarked on an expat adventure in London, visiting over 24 countries. Between indulging in new cuisines and confusing local customs, she even managed to train offices in Paris, Germany, and Dubai. After returning stateside, she transitioned to full-time “domestic engineer,” raising three kids and mastering the chaos.

When COVID hit, Kristen decided it was time for a new challenge. Dr. Boyle offered her a chance to dive into the fast-paced world of dental assisting, and she’s been loving every moment since—well, at least the ones without drills! Now, she’s thriving in a role that combines her passion for learning with a newfound love for patients and coworkers.
