Meet the Staff

Your first contact with our office, either in person or by phone, will probably be with our experienced, understanding, and capable reception staff, Marilyn and Holly.

Marilyn

I live in South Langley with my husband Russ and daughter Jaclyn. My son Brodie is attending UBC. Living on acreage has been a challenge, as there is always something to do. Early on I discovered gardening and now maintain a large perennial garden, which I thoroughly enjoy! I have had exiting times going beyond my comfort zone river rafting on some of B.C.'s most challenging rivers. My other hobbies include boating, ping-pong, and walking the family dog. I am a member of the Peach Arch Chorus, a ladies barbershop singing group, which has been a truly rewarding and enjoyable experience. I have been with Dr. Bittner, at the reception desk, since 1995.

Holly

Hi, I'm Holly. I work with Marilyn at the front desk and am the most recent addition to Dr. Bittner's team. I have been in dentistry since 1996. I live in Abbotsford with my husband Rod, and our three children. When I'm not at the ballpark with my kids, I enjoy camping in the great outdoors. I'll look forward to meeting you and looking after your needs.

During your visit to our office, our caring and fun-loving Certified Dental Assistants, Sabrina and Jamie, will be your personal guides, helping you with your endodontic needs.

Sabrina

I was born in Burnaby, and moved to Mission as a child. I graduated from Mission Secondary in 1997 and received my dental training at the University College of the Fraser Valley, graduating with a Certificate in Dental Assisting in 1998. I have been a clinical assistant with Dr. Bittner since 2001.
I enjoy playing and watching most sports, traveling and music. I can't wait to meet you!

Jamie

I was born in North Vancouver, and moved to Langley shortly thereafter. I graduated from the Certified Dental Assisting program at the University College of the Fraser Valley in Chilliwack in 2001. I live in Abbotsford with my husband Bill and my dogs and cats. I am having great fun with my new fish pond and assorted fish. I have assisted in different general practice offices prior to joining Dr. Bittner, as a clinical assistant, in 2003.
