Karla
Office Manager
I have been working in dentistry for over 32 years, 30 of which have been with Dr. Alan Siegel. I have truly loved and appreciated the tender care and extra amenities we offer to all of our patients! I particularly have a passion in doing our ZOOM BLEACHING procedure, in which patients radiate a whiter smile that exudes a fresh confidence as they leave our dental office. One of the things I enjoy most about dentistry is to see how changing a patient’s smile transforms their lives. In my free time I enjoy working out, movies, shopping and spending time with my family.
Shona

Shona joined our practice in May 2019. She’s been a dental hygienist since 2007 and received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Dental Hygiene at Northern Arizona University. She’s originally from Montana and moved to Arizona in 1994. Her kids keep her busy exploring and finding new adventures all over AZ. She loves her patients and especially enjoys helping lessen dental anxiety by providing thorough yet gentle treatment and always positive encouragement!
Josie
Dental Assistant
I graduated from Phoenix Dental Assistant School in 2016 and was welcomed into the Shea Dental family shortly afterward. I was Dr. Siegel’s Assistant for 5 years until I was unexpectedly diagnosed with Hip Dysplasia in 2021 and had to have hip replacement surgery. As much as I miss doing procedures, I love working front desk with Karla and now being fully experienced with all things dental in our office. I also enjoy seeing our long-term patients and building a lasting relationship with our new patients. We all know that no one looks forward to going to the dentist, but what’s important is how you feel when you walk away from your appointment. My priority is to provide high-quality care to each of our patients.
When I’m not in the office my favorite things to do is meet up with friends for Sushi and Sunday Brunch, shop for home décor, replicate recipes I find on Pinterest, and spend quality time with my family.
P.S. I LOVE Donuts! Especially Maple Bacon ones!! YUM!
Sam
Dental Assistant
The reason I wanted to be in the dental field is because I want to help everyone feel at ease and make the dental experience more fun. Shea Dental has taught me how to be the best assistant and to enjoy each moment! Getting to know each person we see is one of the greatest parts! Being able to help give the smile that someone has always wanted through cosmetic work is truly the best part of my day, and brings me joy to see their happiness. I have two fur babies, Walter and Clyde, who are definitely my kids. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, exploring new places, flea markets, and drawing. I spend a lot of time with my family in the valley and in Heber. I also love to dance, so I apologize in advance if you catch a couple of moves in the operatory!
Sandy
Registered Dental Hygienist
Hi, I am Sandy. I have been in the dental field for over 25 years. I, initially, worked as a dental assistant then continued my education to become a registered dental hygienist and have been practicing hygiene for over a decade. I truly love my profession and enjoy getting to know each of my patients and helping them achieve a healthy mouth. Dentistry is my passion not just a job. I feel honored to be part of Shea Dental and share in their integrity and passion of putting the needs of our patients first. One of my favorite things to see is the before and after cosmetic procedures our amazing doctors perform. This is always a “wow” moment and fun to be a part of.
I am a proud Arizona native and love my state. Both my father and grandfather were born here in Phoenix. I grew up in Tucson and have lived here in the valley for ten years. My favorite pastimes include spending time with family, going for long walks, working out and of course, going out to some of our incredible restaurants here in the valley.
Marian
Dental Assistant
Bio coming soon!
Hi, I’m Archie – here to relieve any dental anxiety you may have. I’m only a year and a half, but I am on my best behavior when I’m on duty at the office. I’m hypoallergenic to you all but don’t think I won’t give you “puppy fever” instead and make you want one of your own (hehe!)
What I love most about dentistry is getting pets and giving kisses to our patients, as well as helping Karla and Psalm at the front desk! During my time off, I enjoy ripping up irrigation systems, digging in the yard, and riding in the car with my head out the window. My mom brushes my teeth a few times a week because she doesn’t think any tooth out there should be neglected. Come on in for an appointment, or just to say hi and give me all the puppy pets! I look forward to doing my polite sit and handshake for you. See you soon!
