Meet The Team

Jaime

Practice Director

Jaime Brenden began her dental career a year ago as our Practice Manager.  Before entering into dental, she was an Executive in Communications, even though it was quite the transition into the medical field she has become very passionate about all things dental.  Jaime’s favorite part of the job is traveling around the country and furthering her dental knowledge through continued education.  It is so exciting to meet colleagues and see what exciting things they are doing in their practice to set them up for success. She also loves getting to know the patients and building long-term relationships that make them feel a part of our family.  Jaime is a long-time resident of WA state and has two children.  Her interests are health and wellness, hot yoga, hiking, and boating.  She values spending time with her family and attending church services on the weekend.  Jaime is also a Coach and loves helping women be the best they can be! 

Tina

Financial Coordinator

Tina has been in dentistry since 1995.  She has always loved dentistry and even considered Dental School; however, her real passion was working behind the scenes as a financial coordinator.  Her role allows her the flexibility to sit at the front desk in which she greatly enjoys interacting with patients.  Tina loves to travel, watch movies, weekend get-aways and trying new restaurants.  She values quality time with her husband Jimmy and her two daughters.  She also loves how dentistry can build a person’s self-esteem by transforming smiles!  She is known for her beautiful smile and singing out loud to songs she loves. 

Lisa

Patient Care Coordinator

I have been passionate about dentistry for the past 28 years. 11 years as an assistant, then moving to front office for the past 17 years.

The best part of my job is seeing all our wonderful patients walking out with their beautiful smiles every day.

Our family atmosphere with our patients and our team is what makes our office such a special place and sets us apart from others. I love Dr. Petrie’s sense of humor and injectable skills.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, working out, and spending time with my friends and family

Sydney

Hygenist

Every day I walk through the door at PAD, I feel like I’m walking into my second home. We all treat each another like family. We all are always laughing and joking around with each other. I also really appreciate it when you need help or some advice, we are always there to help one another. Professional life: I have been in the dental field about 9 years. I received my dental hygiene degree from Pima Medical Institute in 2023. One of the things I love most about being a hygienist is being able to provide the education for my patients and understand the importance of having a healthy mouth can help eliminate preventable systemic diseases. Personal life: I grew up here in Washington state. When I’m not working I love going on fun adventures with my son Benjamin. I really enjoy hiking, weight lifting, going to the beach and being outside in the fresh PNW air.

Kaelah

Dental Assistant

Hiiiiii, My names Kaelah! My family and I moved to the PNW from Las Vegas, Nv and we are so excited to explore the natural beauty WA has to offer. I enjoy watching anime, reading books, and going on walks & bike rides with my hubby and kiddos. I’m a total dental nerd and have a true passion for my profession. I originally wanted to be a dentist, for as long as I can remember, but love being a DA! I honestly wish I could change the world’s outlook on dentistry so we wouldn’t be feared anymore & so everyone can be more aware on the importance of their oral health. Working at PAD with Dr. Petrie and the staff has been very welcoming and I couldn’t be happier to be a part of their sweet & amazing team.
