Our Dentist Office Team

Kandi

My name is Kandi and I was born in Utah, but raised in Mesa. I have 4 very active kids. They keep me running in every direction.

In 2008, while living in Southern Utah, I entered the dental field. I have been a dental assistant for over 7 years. I have been with the Shumway Dental Team since September, 2014.

I am very fortunate to work with such an amazing team. Dr. Andy and Dr. Joel truly care about their patients and their dental health. I enjoy coming to work every day and being able to assist with the transformation of patient’s smiles.

When I am not at work, I love to spend as much time with my kids as I can. We enjoy camping, watching movies and playing (or watching) sports.

Holly

My name’s Holly. I have been a dental hygienist with Shumway Dental Care for over 15 years.

I am originally from New York. Me and my very Italian husband met in 1990 and in 1992 decided to build a life here in Arizona.

We have a 15 year old daughter and a 10 year old son that keep us very busy. My favorite pass times are reading, traveling, and eating my husbands great food.

My goal as a hygienist is to make my patients feel at ease and confident that I always have their best interests at heart.

Lauren

I was born and raised in Southern California, and moved to Utah for college. I went to the Utah College of Dental Hygiene in Provo, UT and have been a dental hygienist since 2010.

My husband and I moved to Arizona in 2012, and was excited to join the Shumway Dental Team in 2014. I find my work rewarding, as I love to help people.

I have been married to my wonderful husband for 5 years now. We love being able to visit family in the surrounding states of California and Utah. When I am not working, I enjoy taking my dog for walks, going paddle boarding on the close by lakes, and hosting game nights with friends at my house. I love to spend time with friends and family and do all I can to live life to the fullest.

Hilda

Hi, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Hilda, and I’m proud to say that I love my job.

I’ve been with Dr. Shumway for 24 years, and have been blessed to be part of this fun and caring team that is so passionate to your dental health.

I enjoy working out and have 2 beautiful young ladies ages 20 and 24. They’re my pride and joy. Hope to see you soon!!

Gerard

My name is Gerard (AKA Big Dawg). I have been with the Shumway Dental Team since January, 2013. I graduated from the Bryman School and have been in dentistry for 16 years.

I have worked in all areas of Dentistry including Cosmetic, Orthodontic, and Periodontic. Cosmetic has been my favorite. It’s great to see how a smile can change a person.

I am soon to be married and have been blessed with a 16 year old daughter, a 12 years old son, and a pug named Bluto. All of them definitely keep my life interesting to say the least. I love football and am a HUGE SEAHAWKS fan!! (GO HAWKS). I also love baseball.

I am very fortunate to work with such great doctors and staff. We are like a family and it shows when you walk in the office. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to furthering my career with Shumway Dental.
