Kris Niekamp, RDA, CDA, came to Rivertown Dental with 6 years of experience working as an assistant for a dentist in the Detroit area. She has been a very valuable member of Dr. Crete’s team since joining us in 2004. Kris is a Registered Dental Assistant and primarily works chair side assisting Dr. Crete. She is also very skilled in the administrative side of a dental practice so we consider her the “jack of all trades” in our office. Kris is our resident computer guru, and helps to keep our systems running smoothly. Having worked in other offices she truly appreciates the level of service we provide and is enthusiastic about assisting our patients toward the goal of a having a healthy smile.
Kris and her husband, Pete, live in Comstock Park, and they are busy raising two toddler boys, Thomas and Jake . As a family, they enjoy spending time up north at Houghton Lake…. snowmobiling, golfing and boating.
Kris says, “My experience at Rivertown Dental has been so rewarding. I have developed awesome relationships with my colleagues as well as many patients. Every day is a learning experience so there is never a boring moment. I have learned so much from Dr. Crete already and look forward to learning more. Dr. Crete is always striving to be the best he can be. It really shows in his work. You can tell that it’s not just a job for him, but that he enjoys doing what he does and is always striving to find ways to take better care of our patients and our staff. I think that our patients can really tell that our office is different… from the initial phone call to the first visit. It really is a unique experience here at Rivertown Dental.”
