 Chris

Hello!!  I am the office manager here at Spring Dental Group since April of 2011. I have a Bachelors Degree in Health Services Administration which helps me maintain a fun, yet efficient, office. Becoming a part of the Spring Dental Group team has proven to be a most rewarding experience. It is so refreshing to see how caring and genuine all of the staff here truly are. This shows the commitment Spring Dental has not only to giving the best oral care but building lasting and meaningful relationships with our patients. 

My husband Marv and I live in Racine with our daughter Lyndsee and son Lukas. When not working, we love to go camping as much as possible with friends. If I am not spending time with family or here at the office I look forward to cooking, gardening, and watching sports.

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 am 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.

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.

Hi, my name is Melissa. I am fairly new to the Spring Dental family and serve our patients as an appointment coordinator. I have an associate's degree as an administrative assistant which allows me to use every tool possible to set a professional, organized, and welcoming tone in our office. I have come to enjoy getting to know our patients and love that they share their lives with us. We are committed to offering a unique and knowledgeable experience to our patients that begins the moment you walk in the door and continues through the very best in oral care. 

Outside of the office I enjoy spending time with my 3 amazing children. We enjoy cooking together, doing crafts,  having movie nights, and going on adventures. I also enjoy reading and going to concerts.

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.

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.
