Kristie Spencer
Dental Assistant

In 1996, Kristie attended Bryman School in Phoenix where she graduated from the Dental Assisting program with academic excellence.  She immediately went to work in the field and learned that she not only loved the job, but also loved working with the public.  In 1998, she moved to Weiser and began her career at Dr. Gudmestad's.  At first, moving to a small town was a shock, but Kristie quickly grew to love the area. She enjoys spending time with her family, camping, four wheeling, fishing and spending time with her family.  She also loves to sew, craft, and read in her spare time.

The best part of working in dentistry, in her opinion, is getting to know the people in her community.  "The people in this town are wonderful, I love hearing about their lives."

MaryAnn Yamamoto
Office Manager

MaryAnn was born in Ontario and grew up in Weiser and the surrounding areas. After getting married she made Weiser her home with her husband and two children.

Some of her favorite activities outside the office include cooking, quilting, crafting, and canning.  She has been fulfilling her childhood dream of having horses and being able to ride.  On April 11, 2011 her first colt was born and has been one of her most enjoyable experiences.

She started working with Dr. Gudmestad in 1998 and was drawn to the Office Manager position because of the broad spectrum of challenges and learning opportunities it would provide.

"Working with the public and giving GREAT customer service is a very important part of my position, which I enjoy very much."
