Meet our Dental Staff

Denise - RDH/BS Hygenist

Hi, My name is Denise Watkins, and I am the hygienist at Arbor View dental. I started out with a bachelors degree in Nutrition. I then went on to hygiene school as a means to pay for my Masters Degree. I loved hygiene so much I didn't need to continue my prior career path. I met Dr. Matz when we both taught at a local hygiene school. I liked his personality, honesty and dental skills making it an easy decision to work with him. I enjoy helping people understand dentistry, supporting them in attaining a better level of dental health.

I'm a native Oregonian, married with 4 children and 2 grandchildren. In my free time I enjoy quilting, dancing, cooking and hiking.

Jeanette - Dental Assistant

Hello, my name is Jeanette and I assist Dr. Matz with patient care chairside. I have been assisting for many years and am delighted to expand my knowledge of holistic dental care here at Arborview Dental. I appreciate Dr. Matz's care filled and comprehensive approach to helping patients return to better oral health.
When away from the office, you will find me tending to my garden, taking a dance class, and exploring the pacific northwest.

Linda - Front Office

Hi, my name is Linda and I have been in the dental industry for around 25 years. I'm married with three grown children, 8 grandchildren, and a dog named Charlie. Spending time with my family and my church family is the thing I do in my downtime.

Going into the outdoors, watching movies or a good storm, and spending time at the beach in front of a roaring fire are my favorite things to do. I love people and love helping them have the best dental experience they can have. I always try to treat people with love and respect and treat others how I want to be treated.
