Meet The Team
Dr. Cate Quas
Pediatric Dentist & Orthodontist
“Helping people is both a privilege and a responsibility. Albert Schweitzer said, ‘My life is my argument.’ This is a saying I take to heart. For me to say I want to make a difference is one thing, but to live that way is an entirely different matter.”
Dr. Sumra Zaidi
Dentist
“I love working with kids because they are always so candid and funny! When I’m not at Bluefish, you can find me mountain biking, skiing, trail running, practicing yoga, or cooking.”
Jill
Director of Operations
“I enjoy everything about Bluefish. We are there to help, and it is really nice to have relationships with entire families and watch the kids grow up.”
JR
Office Manager
“The most important things to me aren’t things, but people. My relationships and how I show up in them are the most important to me.”
Shelby
Front Desk Team Member
“Our patients are amazing and I love helping parents and children with their smiles. The kids always put a smile on our faces. They have the best stories, and also I love seeing their confidence rise when we complete orthodontics on them.”
Heather
Front Desk Team Member
“I love working with kids because they are delightful to be around! They encourage me to use imagination and find creative ways of doing things.”
Stephanie
Front Desk Team Member
“As a 3rd generation Bendite, my favorite thing about working for Bluefish is the community that it is. What a wonderful place to grow!!!”
Jamasa
Dental Hygienist
“My favorite thing about working for Bluefish is the focus on prevention and education. The majority of the appointment is about helping the parents learn how to better take care of their children’s teeth and teaching them how cavities are formed. This is not an office that just “drills & fills.” The team genuinely cares about the patients’ well-being.”
Jenna
Dental & Orthodontic Assistant
“I love working with kids because I love seeing things from their eyes. Children look at the world in a different way than adults, they have a passion for life, learning and imaginations as big as the sky. And I love the interactions I get to have with them.”
Crystal
Dental & Orthodontic Assistant
“My favorite things about working for Bluefish are the relationships and chance to give kids and parents preventative knowledge about oral health. Did you know that tooth decay is the second most common disease after the common cold?”
Kelsie
Dental & Orthodontic Assistant
Heidi
Orthodontic Assistant
Dalila
Dental Assistant
“I love being able to work with children and teach them how to take care of their beautiful smiles. Did you know that tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body. Not even your leg bones are stronger!”
RaeDawn
Dental Assistant
“I love the kid friendly environment at Bluefish. Did you know that If you don’t floss, you miss cleaning 40% of your tooth surfaces. Make sure you brush and floss twice a day!”
Vickie
Dental & Orthodontic Assistant
“I love working with kids because they are fun and inquisitive! Did you know that parents need to help with brushing for children until the child is able to tie their own shoes.”
Carlita
Dental & Orthodontic Assistant
“My favorite thing about working for Bluefish is giving positive dental experiences for kids that they will hopefully remember for the rest of their life.”
Dally
Sterilization Technician
“My favorite thing about working for Bluefish is the amount that I have learned from my coworkers, they are great teachers and people. I also love the magic that we are able to create with the kids here at Bluefish.”
Birdie
Therapy Dog
“I love the humans. Especially the little ones. Snuggling them makes my tail go fast. I do my best to give them loves when the doctors look at their teeth. I use my teeth to eat snacks. I love snacks. But mostly I love kids.”
Part Of The Bluefish Family
Their ongoing contributions make us who we are.
Dr. John Frachella
Dentist
“Say the word ‘dentist’ and a lot of things come to mind. White smock. Little mirror on a stick. Floss. How about adrenaline junkie! When I’m not surfing, mountain biking, kayaking, skiing or skateboarding, I can be found at Bluefish!”
