At Blaine & Birch Bay Family Dentistry, putting our patients first is at the heart of all we do. When you call to schedule, a cheerful team member will help you find an appointment time that works with your busy schedule. When you arrive, we’ll greet you promptly and check you in before walking you back to begin your on-time appointment.
Feeling anxious? That’s okay. We understand, and our team excels at helping people and putting our patients at ease. You’ll always feel supported because we know that one positive experience is a stepping stone to the next and a formula for maintaining a healthy smile for life.
Behind the scenes, every team member plays a specific role in keeping your appointment running smoothly, supporting Dr. Eggert and each other so nothing gets missed. Part of that means making sure you leave understanding your treatment, why it matters, and what to expect next. We find that informed patients are more confident in their care, and helping you get there is something our whole team takes seriously.
We're excited that you're considering us for your new dental home and would love to welcome you. Until then, please take a moment to get to know our friendly team.

Karley
Dental Assistant
Karley joined Blaine & Birch Bay Family Dentistry in September 2025, bringing a natural enthusiasm for connecting with people that fits right in with the practice's friendly, team-focused culture. She completed her training at Bellingham Technical College and has been building her dental career since 2024.

Ryan
Dental Assistant
Ryan joined our team at Blaine Family Dentistry in 2025, bringing a calm and organized approach to patient care. After completing his training at Bellingham Technical College, he assists with the full range of chairside duties, from preparing treatment rooms and sterilizing instruments to taking x-rays and maintaining accurate patient records, ensuring every appointment runs smoothly from start to finish.
What initially drew Ryan to dentistry was his genuine interest in serving the community and his appreciation for the professional, caring environment that dental healthcare provides. This passion shines through most clearly in how he works with anxious patients, taking extra time to ensure every visit feels as comfortable and welcoming as possible. Ryan is also continuing his education with plans to become a dental hygienist.
When he's not at the office, Ryan loves spending time outdoors hiking, mountain biking, camping, or following wherever a spontaneous adventure leads him. He also enjoys expressing his creative side through music production and playing guitar.
Stephanie
Dental Hygienist
Stephanie brings a genuine passion for patient care to our hygiene team. Originally from Florida, she graduated from Broward College with an Associate of Science in Dental Hygiene and was drawn to the field for its blend of healthcare, hands-on clinical work, and the chance to build real connections with patients. Now in her third year of practice, she provides thorough cleanings, takes radiographs, and works closely with our dentists to deliver comprehensive preventive care.
What sets Stephanie apart is her focus on making every visit a comfortable, low-stress experience. She takes the time to educate patients about their oral health and loves watching their confidence grow as they develop better habits. For Stephanie, those relationships are the most rewarding part of the job.
Outside the office, Stephanie is a devoted reader who rarely goes anywhere without her Kindle and has recently reconnected with a childhood love of painting. She's also a lifelong Disney enthusiast—her parents took her to Disney World multiple times a year growing up, and it remains her happy place.
