Front Desk Team
Hola, did you know that the H is silent in Hortensia! I have been on Personalized Dentistry's team since 1985. Over the years, I have worked in the clinical area assisting Dr. Rochlen, but I feel that I really found my home while working in the front office as a patient coordinator. I love being able to efficiently answer the questions of our patients, and enjoy being able to help out wherever I can to make patients feel more at ease and comfortable. I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Jeff since 1987 and have two daughters, Jaclyn and Bryana, who have each given us the best gift, our two granddaughters . I absolutely love being a grandma, it is the best feeling in the world! In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, bike riding, going to concerts and traveling as much as I can. I love the fact that I can communicate with the local Hispanic community to translate their needs.

Hi, I’m Debbie. I take care of the behind the scenes business end at Personalized Dentistry. I can help with your insurance questions, treatment options, or just answer any questions you may have. I have been in the dental field for 28 years. Seeing the before and after transformation of a great smile makes me smile. I love being part of a team that helps patients achieve the smile that the want. I have been married for 26 years and have three children. Andrew is engaged and is a safety engineer. Christopher is in the United States Navy. Lexi, who is still in high school, has been bowling for ten years so in my free time, you will find me cheering competition on in a bowling alley in or out of state.

Dental Assistants
My career as a dental assistant began here at Personalized Dentistry 30 years ago when I was in high school! I enrolled in a dental assisting class in school, and knew that this was going to be the career for me. I have met so many patients over the years and always make sure they are given personalized care. I love making sure every detail of a patient’s treatment is addressed. From the time we meet a patient up until the last time the patient walks out the door with all of their care completed, I am on the details and the behind the scenes aspects too. I follow through and remember every detail. The rest of the staff love to tease me that I remember every little detail of every exchange. I have been married to my husband Leon since 2008. I have a soft spot in my heart for animals, and currently have two cats and two dogs. In my free time you can find me playing Texas Hold Em, relaxing on the beach, or my personal favorite…sleeping!

When I started as a dental assistant 20 years ago, I never imagined that I would have fallen in love with dentistry the way that I have. I started at Personalized Dentistry in 2012 and have never looked back. The part of my job that I love the most is getting to know my patients over the years. I have been married to my husband for 21 years and have one son, Eric. I also have to include our four-legged baby, Twix who just turned 11 years old. When I am not working, I love to travel, chasing waterfalls, hike and making flower arrangements!
It's hard to believe that I have been with Personalized Dentistry for 10 years already! I have been a dental assistant since I graduated from high school and have participated in many different specialties of the field, but find that I love general dentistry the most. I love to see patients with dental anxiety and with the help of the doctors, make them comfortable and at ease. My husband Bryan and I keep very busy with our 3-year-old twin boys and 9-year-old daughter. When I am not at work, you can usually find me chasing after the boys with the help of my daughter. When I have a little bit of time to myself I love to shop, and take a nap now and then.

Dental Hygienists
I joined Personalized Dentistry in 2006. I graduated from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry. Dentistry has always been a passion for me since I was a teenager in high school . This ignited a spark in me, to further my career in dentistry as a dental hygienist. One of my favorite things about being a hygienist is the friendships I have made with my patients. I also appreciate and value the trust that my patients have in me to provide care for them. Being able to walk with a patient in their transformation of their smile, it is so fulfilling. When I am not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. My son is my heart and soul. He keeps me very busy with school activities, baseball and basketball, and I love every minute of it!
