Tammy

Office Manager

Tammy brings over four decades of dental experience to our team, having started her career in the early 1980s with a simple motivation: a willingness to help people. As one of the founding team members when Garden Island Dental opened in 2020, she has been instrumental in establishing our practice's commitment to serving the local Kauai community. Educated right here on the island of Kauai, Tammy understands the unique needs and culture of our community.

As our office manager, Tammy oversees patient scheduling, insurance processing, and check-in and check-out procedures, but her role extends far beyond administrative tasks. She takes special pride in helping patients navigate insurance complexities and finding pathways to make dental treatment affordable and accessible. Her favorite aspect of working in dentistry is helping our local community improve their oral health, and she approaches each patient interaction with genuine care and understanding.

When she's not helping patients at the office, Tammy enjoys bargain hunting and exploring new destinations through travel. She also has a keen interest in designing and completing her forever home. What might surprise many patients is that Tammy loves baseball!
