Meet Our Team
Andra

Andra knew she wanted to be in dentistry from her earliest years. “Working at Boise Caring Dentistry and helping our patients be as healthy as they can be is one of my greatest joys in life,” she says. She holds a bachelor of science degree from Idaho State University and in her spare time enjoys being with her wonderful family and friends, staying active, and working out. “I am so blessed to work with Dr. Montgomery and our incredible team,” she adds. “Everyone in our office is kind-hearted and full of love.”
Karly
Registered Dental Hygienist
A native of Oregon, Karly has lived in Idaho since moving here for dental hygiene school. She is accredited as a biological dental hygienist by the International Academy of Oral Medicine & Toxicology and has been an invaluable member of our team since 2018, working part time and homeschooling her two children through the rest of the week. The mountains are her favorite place to be, and her family goes up as often as possible.
Lara
Certified Dental Assistant / Patient Care Coordinator
“I am happy when we are able to help a patient become confident in their smile again,” says Lara, the newest member of our team. Born in Belgium and an Idaho resident since the age of 5, she completed her dental training in 2018 through Assist to Succeed. “This office has already taught me so much about the holistic side of dentistry,” she says, “and there is always more to learn! The ladies in this office are so smart, and they welcome everyone with open arms.” Lara has two beloved dogs, Lucy and Misha, and enjoys camping and paddleboarding.
Rita
Certified Dental Assistant
Originally from Caldwell, Rita has more than a decade’s experience assisting in cosmetic and family dentistry. “I enjoy working in a biological practice,” she says, “where we do and offer extra to make sure our patients get the very best. And I appreciate working for a doctor who has integrity, who is honest and does incredible dental work.” Also certified in phlebotomy, Rita adores spending her non-working hours with her family and two dogs.
Janelle
Certified Dental Assistant
A native of northern Idaho and a Boise State alum, Janelle has been in family dentistry for over 20 years and absolutely loves what she does. She also loves getting to know each patient personally and does her best to relate to them every day. In addition to her assisting certification, Janelle is also certified in phlebotomy. She has one son and enjoys spending her off time outdoors with her family and pups.
Jamie
Practice Manager
Although her title is “practice manager,” you may also find Boise native Jamie working as an assistant here in our office, as well, having trained at the American Institute of Health Technology in addition to holding a bachelor’s in liberal arts/communications from Boise State. “Each new day at the practice,” she says, “holds the opportunity to help our patients, meet new people and get to know better those I have already, as well as gain knowledge. I get to spend my days doing what I love while calling it work.”
