Brittany
Patient Care Coordinator
I use my knowledge of dental procedures and insurance to care for each patient that I meet, only wanting the best for them. Outside of the office, I love my puppies, rafting, and shopping. My dream vacation would be to a tropical island
Sarah
Marketing Coordinator
My job as the office Visionary and Marketing Coordinator allows me to be creative and think of new ways to make our patient’s dental visits as comfortable as possible – something I love! Outside of the office you will find me with my family at various school events and activities around town.
Autumn
Dental Assistant
I was born and raised in Pine, AZ and still live there today with my amazing husband. I have been a dental assistant for more than 15 years and went back to school in 2019 to earn my Expanded Functions Dental Assistant Certification. My favorite part of my job is the amazing work family we have here at Payson Premier Dental.

I enjoy working with patients and take great care to make sure they receive nothing short of excellent care. I have found that everyone here at Payson Premier Dental also has a genuine concern for their patients and each other. I look forward to being a part of this team for many years to come.
Kristin Wade
DMD, FAGD
I started my journey in the dental field as a dental hygienist here in Payson. It is this community, the support of my family, and my love for learning and helping people that propelled me into seeking a dental degree. I felt that I would be able to give back to Rim Country even more as a dentist. Some days it feels like I get to come to work just to see all my friends because I love what I do and the people I get to be with. It is a privilege and honor to create beautiful healthy smiles.
