Relationships with my patients are very important to me. I find joy in getting to know them and their families.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my son, family and friends. They are very dear to me. Summertime is my favorite season. I like to go to the beach, boating, festivals, and going on vacation.

My days are filled with activities ensuring the days run smoothly for our patients, staff, and doctors. Whether in the area of patient care or customer service, we at Spring Dental Group strive to provide our best and finest to every patient every time.
My husband and I live in Racine and have two grown children living in Chicago. In my spare time, I enjoy gardening, reading, and helping out in our community and our church.
Kathy
My name is Kathy and I’ve been in dentistry since 1988. I graduated from Gateway Technical College’s Dental Assistant Program and was Dr. Lamberton’s first dental assistant. I graduated from MATC Dental Hygiene Program in 2005 and have gratefully practiced here since 2007. I strive to educate, empower and encourage my patients.
I have 2 daughters, and in the summer I enjoy time on my boyfriend’s boat and his motorcycle!
Marilyn
I came to Spring Dental Group 25 plus years ago after receiving a bachelors of science degree in dental hygiene from Marquette University. What I love about hygiene is that people from all walks of life have the common thread of a smile. Your smile speaks volumes! I'm here to help you make your smile a happy healthy one. I have been very fortunate to combine my fascination of the new trends in dentistry with my love of traveling. Getting new perspectives from speakers and attendees at dental meetings across the country has helped keep the profession fresh for me.
Since forming our Spring Dental Group dragonboat team "Dragon Breath" in 2006, I have become addicted to the sport. You will see me on the Root River May through September. On my days off, I do volunteer gardening as a Master Gardener both at the Racine Visitors Center and at the Pioneer Garden in Burlington.
Kristin
I am very fortunate to be a part of the caring family at Spring Dental Group. I graduated from Marquette University in 1992 with a BS in dental hygiene and have been in the dental field for 23 years. I have spent the last 18 years at Spring Dental Group. I strive to provide the best care and support I can for my patients’ total health. I enjoy helping my patients achieve a beautiful healthy smile!
My husband, Eric, and I live here in Racine with our three boys, Ethan, Ryan, and Mason. We love to spend time on our boat as a family and are always looking for our next place to visit! When I am not at Spring Dental Group or home, I spend time with my boys at school and on the soccer field.
Andrea
My name is Andrea and I have been a part of the Spring Dental Group family since 2001. I am an appointment coordinator, hygiene coordinator and Zoom! Whitening tech. You can often find me at the front desk, ready to greet and assist anyone who walks in the door. As a hygiene coordinator, I work together with our hygienists and patients to ensure good oral health. If it’s time to whiten your smile, I can help, with our in-office Zoom! Whitening procedure.
As an employee at Spring Dental, I love being involved in our patients' lives; listening to their stories, sharing in their joy and grief, and ultimately forming lasting relationships with them.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our families, especially all of our nieces and nephews. I love to be outside, and I love to fish, exercise, bake and do crafts. I also volunteer my time at my dad’s church and at Spring Dental with our involvement in the Adopt-a-Highway program.
Elizabeth
Hi, my name is Elizabeth, treatment coordinator with Dr. Lamberton. I am proud to say that I have been part of the Spring Dental family for eighteen years now. Not only do I have the enjoyment of working with a talented and dedicated group of professionals, but best of all, I get to meet and assist all the patients within the practice. My job involves scheduling appointments, treatment planning, making financial arrangements, handling insurance inquiries, and corresponding with specialist offices. What I like best about my job is being a part of a belief system that is committed to excellence, equality, and education. Witnessing the patients’ reactions to their cosmetic results is simply the icing on the cake.
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with family and friends.
Caren
Hey! I’m Caren and I have been with Spring Dental Group since February 2008. I am very much a people person and love helping to meet the needs of our patients as an appointment coordinator. I really enjoy getting to know our patients and appreciate how frequently they share their lives with us. I especially love those moments when patients who have come fearful of dentistry, leave our office with a whole new outlook as their fears have been put to rest.
When I am not in the office, I love to hang out with my husband, Joe, and two boys, Chris and Alex. I also love riding motorcycles, sitting by my pool, shopping, and spending time with friends.
Cherie
Hi, my name is Cherie, treatment coordinator for Dr. Murphy. I have worked in dentistry since high school, spending 20 years with Dr. Murphy and eight years in an orthodontic office. I enjoy serving our patients in any way that can make their experience with us pleasant. I feel privileged to build lasting relationships with our patients and their families. I love people and now feel strangers are only friends I have never met.
When out of the office, I enjoy taking motorcycle trips with my husband. Our favorite time is spending Sunday morning in church service with our two daughters and then having brunch together.
Peg
My name is Peg, assistant to Dr. Robert Lamberton since July 2007. Having been in the dental field for over 20 years, I enjoy giving our clients exceptional and personal care. Our unique team approach at Spring Dental provides an atmosphere resulting in a relaxed and pleasurable dental experience.
Spending time with my family, attending sporting events in which my sons participate, going “up north” and my annual trip to Door County are a few of my favorite extracurricular activities. Being involved with the community means a lot to me; I have been a longtime volunteer at Health Care Network's dental clinic serving people less fortunate.

I love helping patients achieve their dental goals and maintaining their overall dental health. I also love being a part of the Spring Dental Group family because they give patients all the knowledge they need to make the best decisions, while treating everyone as an individual.
I am married and a mother of two small children; one boy and one girl. My favorite activities are family walks and trips to indoor water parks, particularly in Wisconsin Dells.
Marty
Hi! I’m Marty; I have been a member of Spring Dental Group for many years, during which I have served in scheduling patient care, answering insurance questions, spiffying up the office and some chairside assisting.

In my spare time, I enjoy gardening, family, and I love to travel.

Hi, my name is Sarah. I have been a dental assistant at Spring Dental Group since 1998 and bring with me over eleven years of professional experience. I assist Dr. Murphy in all general procedures and oral health. The most rewarding part of my job is building lasting relationships with our patients and making a difference in people’s lives.
In my spare time, outside the office, I enjoy playing softball, volleyball, and traveling with my fiancé.
Cynthia
My name is Cynthia; I have worked at Spring Dental Group since June 2007 and in the medical field since 1998.
