For those of you who have been in to see us this past month, you’ve noticed some new faces at our dental office.
Please join me in welcoming our new staff members:
Cathy Galetti – You’ll see Cathy assisting Teri at the front office as our new administrative assistant. Don’t worry. Teri isn’t leaving. I have her chained to the desk 🙂
Cathy has spent the last 30 years working in the dental field. She has experience working in several areas of dentistry which includes endodontics, periodontics and general dentistry. She is originally from Illinois but moved to Arizona in 1983 to settle with her family after they visited several times and loved it. She has 2 children and 4 adorable grandchildren and feels very fortunate they all live in Arizona. In her spare time Cathy enjoys baking goodies for her grandkids, traveling whenever possible and long walks with her husband.
Karen Kelley – Dental Hygienist
Karen has been in the dental field for over thirty years. She began her interest in Dentistry with a professional internship program during her senior year at Mesa High School then graduated 4 years later with her dental hygiene degree from Phoenix College. She is a Valley native and 4th generation Arizonan. She is the mom to 4 terrific children and 3 adorable grandchildren. She enjoys traveling, photography, tennis, dining out, boating, Broadway shows, museums, music and anything with her family. She is excited to join the team and is looking forward to getting to know our wonderful patients.
Valerie Wuls – Dental Hygienist
Valerie graduated from Northwestern University with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene. She provides a gentle approach to dental hygiene. Making sure her patients feel welcome and appreciated is a top priority. For Valerie, the most rewarding part of being a dental hygienist is seeing positive results as her patient’s oral care improves. She loves being part of a caring team who provides individualized treatment to each patient. Val loves spending time with her husband and two children, hiking, cooking and watching baseball.
Dr Huey,
Since we are frequent flyers, we are certainly happy to be informed of the changes in staff! We are sad to see Lisa go, but we understand the commute! We are looking forward to meeting the new dental staff, they are very lucky to have chosen an amazing Dentist to work with! And, Teri, whew… so glad to hear we will continue to be greeted by your friendly face walking through the door but also your amazing care for the families you show at the front office.
Thanks Molly for your nice feedback. We look forward to seeing you on your next visit. I’m sure you’ll enjoy meeting everyone then.

Thank you so much for the update! Lisa will be missed but I look forward to meeting Karen and Valerie. I had the pleasure of meeting Cathy last month and she was so welcoming and comfortable in her new role, it was as if she’d been there forever. A giant welcome from us to all – – they couldn’t have chosen a better team to start a new journey with!
