Melissa

Dental Assistant

I work alongside Dr. Lippman-Hoskins in all aspects of patient care, including taking impressions and X-rays, setting up instruments, maintaining inventory and equipment, and most importantly, assisting during procedures. I want all patients to feel comfortable and relaxed when they’re in our office. Getting a new smile is such an important event in our patients’ lives, and I feel so lucky to be a part of that!

At home, I have three daughters who keep me very busy. One plays volleyball, another wrestles, and my youngest will start pre-K this fall. My life revolves around them! When I do get free time, I love traveling and going to the ocean. Fort Bragg is our favorite!

Beverly

Patient Coordinator

I am here to welcome patients into our office and assist them with all their scheduling, insurance, and financial needs. I started my career in 1982 as a dental assistant in Delaware before moving to California. In 2010, I joined Drs. Bonita and John Hoskins, and can’t imagine working for two better people. They really care about their patients and their team. We are all like family here!

I have six children, 12 grandchildren, and a wonderful husband. Our hobbies include camping and a lot of family time! We also have a Golden Lab named Jake who is full of energy. When he’s not messing up the backyard, he goes on runs with me!
