Theresa

Office Manager

I have almost 35 years of experience working in the dental field and joined Dr. Thompson and his team in 1996. I do whatever it takes to make sure our office runs smoothly and our patients receive the best care and customer service. We are a very progressive office and up-to-date with the best that dentistry has to offer. I am married with four grown daughters and six grandchildren. I enjoy watching and playing sports with my family. I play softball, ride bikes, and love being outdoors. I also volunteer in our community, most recently with the Special Olympics.

Jan

Front and Back Office

I have worked in this office since 1988, taking a short break in 1991, and returning in 1998. I enjoy working with our patients and answering their questions about the financial aspects of their dental care. Dr. Thompson always provides excellent care and gives individual attention to each of his patients. He is friendly, caring, and has all the newest dental technology, making this office a great place to work. I was born and raised in Santa Barbara and am married with three sons. Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my family. 

Shirley

Dental Hygienist

My dental career began more than 35 years ago and I was happy to join Dr. Thompson in 1985. Over the years I have met and gotten to know so many of our patients. I love seeing the positive results they achieve and develop lifelong friendships with them. Dr. Thompson is the most caring and progressive dentist.  He truly cares for his staff as well as his patients. It is such a joy to come to work each day.

Edith

Dental Hygienist

I began my career in dentistry in 1994 as an assistant and joined Dr. Thompson in 2006 after earning my degree in dental hygiene. I provide my patients with oral cancer screenings, cleanings, and fluoride, but most importantly, I teach them the importance of oral hygiene in connection with their overall health. I have a true passion for dentistry and enjoy working with this team very much.

Dana

Registered Dental Assistant

I began my dental career in 1984 and joined Dr. Thompson in 1998 as a dental assistant. I enjoy working with our patients and helping them to attain their dental goals. Our doctors are both perfectionists when it comes to patient care and very easy to work with. We all want our patients to leave the office happy and healthy. I was raised in Santa Barbara and now live in Goleta with my husband and five sons.
