Alicia
Expanded Function Dental Assistant
I grew up in Tacoma, WA, and graduated from the dental assisting program at Bates Technical College in 1998 and then graduated from South Puget Sound Community College in 2017 as an Expanded Function Dental Assistant. While I have been a member of this wonderful office since the Drs. Dibble came to Washington State in 2014. In the time I have been here, I feel extremely lucky to be a part of this dedicated, family-oriented team. I believe that there should be a special bond between staff and patients, and that’s exactly what you’ll find here. I enjoy getting to know my patients and their families on a personal level. My job is to answer any questions or concerns they may have. There are many people who are afraid of the dentist, and I am here to build a relationship with our patients to ease those fears. Our team is led by Drs. Pat and Amanda Dibble, two of the most compassionate, dedicated, and detail-oriented individuals I’ve ever met. If you are looking for a dental family, we are the office you are looking for!
When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with family, friends and my 24-year-old son named Josh. I also enjoy exercising, especially Zumba dance classes.

Allison
Patient Coordinator
As a Patient Coordinator, typically I am your primary point of communication. When you call or text the office, I am the one who takes care of you. When you enter the office, I will be there to give you a warm welcome and help empower you in your dental health journey. I have 7 years of experience as a Patient Coordinator in the dental field and happily joined the Dibble team in March 2023.
Our team's primary goal is to ensure that you receive excellent individualized dental care in a safe, welcoming environment. Dr. Amanda and Dr. Pat Dibble are trustworthy, caring and incredibly devoted to their patients.-We are so excited to welcome you as not only as a patient, but as a part of our community.
In my free time, I enjoy travelling with my husband, cooking, and spending time with my twin daughters. I also love hiking with friends and attending fun classes at the gym, especially Zumba.
Karen
Dental Hygienist
I joined Dr. Dibble’s office in 2021, bringing with me almost 30 years of experience in the dental field. I offer patients dental hygiene services and procedures in a comfortable, professional, and friendly environment. This includes, but is not limited to, comprehensive examinations, dental cleanings, and other preventive dental services. I enjoy getting to know patients, developing relationships, and promoting ultimate oral health through education and positive support.
I enjoy all the PNW has to offer year round, including the trails, skiing, golfing, lakes, and gardening. I also love spending time with my two sons, family, and friends.

Stefanie
Registered Dental Assistant
I completed my Registered Dental Assisting training in 2003 and came to Dibble Family Dental in July of 2022. I have many years of experience assisting in large varieties of procedures including crowns, restorative and implants.
My favorite part of the job is the personal relationships that I develop with our amazing patients. Most of all, I truly care about my patient's and being a part of their treatment is where my passion lies. It is important to me to be prepared for every patient so that their visit runs smoothly and I make them as comfortable as possible.
I'm so fortunate to be apart of such a team here at Dibble Family Dental. We rely and depend on each other as we all have a common goal. When I am not working, I enjoy time with my family and fur babies. I like to take on DIY projects for a challenge.
