Meet the Team

Meet Mandy – Office Manager & Patient Care Professional

With over 14 years in the dental field, Mandy brings a wealth of experience, heart, and know-how to Port Susan Dental Care. She began her journey as a dental assistant and, over the years, found her calling in the front office—where she now leads our team as office manager.

Mandy’s passion for dentistry goes beyond the clinical—she truly enjoys helping patients feel confident in their treatment plans, understand their insurance, and find solutions that fit their needs. Her goal? To make every visit smooth, stress-free, and as comfortable as possible.

Outside the office, Mandy is all about the great outdoors. Whether it’s camping, hunting, fishing, or simply enjoying nature with her husband and family, she loves soaking up fresh air and creating unforgettable memories.

Meet Christy – Dental Assistant & Front Office Coordinator

With over 15 years of experience in the dental field, Christy brings a wealth of knowledge and versatility to our team. She received her Dental Assisting license from Bellingham Technical College and spent many years working chair-side before expanding her expertise to the front office.

Working with Dr. Eidsness, Christy enjoys the unique opportunity to support both clinical and administrative areas of the practice—a balance she finds truly rewarding.

When not in the office, Christy enjoys hiking and spending time outdoors. She and her husband are always working on new yard projects, keeping busy with their shared love for hands-on work and home improvement.

Meet Joann – Dental Hygienist & Wellness Advocate

Joann has been a valued part of the Port Susan Dental Care team since 2017, bringing warmth, experience, and a true passion for patient care. She believes great dental health starts with understanding each person’s unique needs—and she’s dedicated to helping patients care for their teeth and gums in a way that’s supportive, not stressful.

Her approach is gentle, thoughtful, and judgment-free, always aiming to make every visit feel comfortable and personalized.

You can find Joann outside of the office spending time with her husband (they met at just 18!), their three grown children, and two wonderful grandchildren. When she’s not with family, you’ll likely find her at home in her happy place—gardening, relaxing by her koi pond, and enjoying the simple things that make life beautiful.

Whether she's assisting chairside with Dr. Eidsness or making sure every detail is just right behind the scenes, Yadi is all about creating smooth, positive experiences.

Outside the office, Yadi keeps life just as lively! She loves dancing, exploring new restaurants, and spending quality time with her family, her boyfriend, and her two beloved dogs. Her energy, care, and connection with patients make her an essential part of our team—and a favorite among those she serves!
