The warm and friendly faces you can expect to see at our office.
Front Desk Team
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, whom are now in college. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, bike riding and traveling as much as I can. I love the fact that I can communicate with the local Hispanic community to translate their needs. Did you ever know that the H in Hortensia is silent?

Hi everyone, I'm Jaclyn. I've worked at Personalized Dentistry since December 2015, although it feels like I've been a part of this team forever! Being in the dental field for about 8 years now, I truly feel like I've found my niche. I love the interaction with our patients on a daily basis, and enjoy helping in any way that I can! When I'm not working, I'm usually spending time with my husband and our two pups, Bruce & Bruno. We love to walk the trails, head up to the ballfield for fetch, or stay home to complete projects and yardwork! Anything outdoors on a beautiful day is really what makes my heart sing!

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. I do a lot of traveling with her and enjoy every minute!

Dental Assistants
My career as a dental assistant began here at Personalized Dentistry 21 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. 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 11 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 when I can make a patient feel comfortable and at ease and to watch their smile transition and their confidence flourish. I have been married to my husband for 13 years and have one son, Eric. I also have to include our four-legged baby, Twix. When I am not working, I love to travel, make flower arrangements, and nap!

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 after being in practice for 5 years. I am a 2001 graduate of U of D Mercy School of Dentistry. Dentistry has always been my passion. The spark ignited in me my sophomore year of high school, where as soon as I could, I obtained a co-op job as a dental assistant. I knew that I wanted to advance myself in the dental field, thus deciding to attend hygiene school. My love for providing care bloomed from there. There are so many things that I love about being a dental hygienist, but I would have to say one of the top reasons is the relationships that I build with the patients that entrust me to provide their care. One of the many other reasons is the process of care that I can provide to those who may not have had dental care in many years, and watching that trust build, and confidence grow with a beautiful smile. When I am not providing dental care, you can find me home with my husband John, our son Nicholas, and our two dogs.

My husband Loren and I have been married for almost 19 years and have two children, Brooke and Brett. Our dog Beau is considered one of my other children and keeps me on my toes! In my time away from work, I enjoy scrapbooking, snowmobiling, camping and traveling cross-country and admiring the beautiful scenery that reveals itself from coast to coast.

Hi, My name is Maria. I grew up in Warren and have been a patient at this office since I was a child. After finishing high school, I started working here as a dental assistant. I then went to hygiene school at Ferris State University. I have seen many of our patients for years and look forward to seeing them at their visits. My favorite part of my job is to educate people on how to keep their beautiful smiles. I have been a hygienist here for 25 years!
