Each of our team members at our dental practices in Bellingham and Snohomish, Washington, do their part in being communicative and personable with our patients. We go out of our way to make you comfortable during your visit with Dr. Haider Kalhan or Dr. Tamara Alkaradajhi. We invite you to call Platinum Dental Group to let us know how we can make your visit with our dentists easier on you. We also speak Spanish and Arabic for those who may face language barriers.

Katie
Patient & Public Concierge | Dental Assistant
Katie loves being part of the Platinum Dental Group family where the office feels like home. She loves easing patients’ anxiety and helping them feel more comfortable with dental care. Katie’s job is to offer welcoming, non-judgmental care both chairside and while navigating financing, and contributes to the practice growth through facilitating marketing and patient outreach. In fact, she started her relationships with our dentists as an anxious patient. It was their compassionate care that helped her positively reframe her view of dental care. This experience led her to pursue training in the same filed with hopes to impact her patients the same way.
Katie lives with her husband, their two young daughters and their dog. She enjoys spending time with extended family and friends.
