Meet the Team

Tamra

Office Manager

“I love making people smile and building relationships with our patients. We have a great team that feels like a family and our patients are part of that!”

Tamra joined our practice in 2007, having started in the dental field in 2001. She wears lots of hats in our office, from assisting the doctor and supporting patients during procedures to managing the staff. Her goal, like the rest of our team, is to keep our patients smiling!

 

Amanda Major. DDS

Associate Dentist

Dr. Amanda Major grew up in Sonoma County and attended Santa Clara University for college-earning cum laude honors with degrees in both Chemistry and French. She graduated in the top of her class from the Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC, where she spent her spare time serving the dental needs of the homeless population in LA and providing free dental care for inner-city children. In 2015, Dr. Major earned her Fellowship in Dental Implantology from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists for extended study of dental implant surgeries. Her passion for learning eventually peaked an interest in teaching and inspiring the next wave of new dentists. She is honored to have had the opportunity to volunteer as restorative clinical faculty for UCSF School of Dentistry.
 
After practicing several years in Sonoma County, Dr. Major moved to Larkspur with her fiancé, Jeff, and joined our practice in 2016. She loves building relationships with our patients and serving the dental needs of our community alongside a wonderful group of women. When she is not in our office, she also works at the Providence St Joseph Hospital Pediatric Dental Department in Santa Rosa, serves on the Redwood Empire Dental Society Board and volunteers as a delegate for the CDA House of Delegates.
 
“My mission is to provide the best dental care possible with genuine enthusiasm, warmth and a commitment to quality. I am dedicated to providing a lifetime of oral health to you and your family and I strive for relationships based on mutual trust. I can’t wait to meet you!”

Karen

Registered Dental Hygienist

“As a hygienist, ensuring that my patients have great oral health is my number-one goal. I enjoy working with patients of all ages and building relationships with them.”

Karen graduated from BYU for her undergraduate degree and joined our office in March 2016. She is loved by many patients and we appreciate her thorough exams and cleanings.  Many patients refuse to see any other hygienist once they see Karen and we understand that.

 

Pamela

Registered Dental Hygienist

 

I was raised in Lake County and have been in dentistry since 1976!  I started at SRJC as a dental assistant, studied at Sonoma state as a chemistry major, then graduated from UCSF dental hygiene school in 1987.  I graduated top of my class with awards In research and periodontology!  I knew at six years old that I wanted to be in dentistry; I would look at peoples’ mouths and think about how I could improve their smile!  I have volunteered extensively in Marin County with the Marin County dental clinic, Ritter House, St. Vincent de Paul  and the San Rafael fire department screening Hispanic children in the canal area.  I love international volunteer work;  I have travelled to Bangladesh, Nepal and Tibet offering free dental care through local NGOs. My goal is always to make dentistry accessible, educational and FUN FUN FUN!!

I live with my husband and two cats in San Rafael, and in my spare time I love distance running, costume design and photography!
