Terri

As a registered dental hygienist and patient coordinator, Terri communicates with patients to answer questions and alleviate concerns, presents treatments plans, and works with patients on financial plans. She has worked at Pike & Valega since 2006, and enjoys that they offer modern technology and continue to educate themselves on the latest advances to provide the best treatment plans available. Terri was drawn to the dental industry because she wanted to be able to make a positive impact on community health, and now as a RDH, she enjoys that she gets to improve patients’ health daily and help them achieve their dream smile. She holds an Associate of Applied Science in dental hygiene and has training in basic life support and HIPAA compliance. 

When not working, Terri enjoys taking family camping trips in her pop up camper with her husband Toby and daughter Teagan. In the fall you can often find her attending football games (her favorite teams are Penn State, Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Nationals baseball). Someday she would love to travel to Europe.

“Given my long history of being in the dentist chair, I do believe the service and quality of this dental team is excellent! I’ve lost count of how many crowns and root canal’s I’ve had but hands down this is the best looking crown I’ve gotten so far.

“Dr. Pike is the GREATEST!!! He saved my tooth!!! He saw me right away, he was so kind and calming. I’m not the greatest patient, I was so scared. My tooth broke and I was definitely in pain. I needed a root canal. He knew exactly what to do.”

Lori A

“I have a fear of dentists but I love this place. I feel so comfortable at every visit. Ellen and Dr. Pike are warm and treat their patients like family. I am so glad I found this practice. I recommend them whole-heartedly!
