Shelsea

Director of Operations

Shelsea has worked in the dental field for over 10 years, sharing her knowledge with all of us at Brooks Family Dental. She gained interest in dentistry after seeing the morale boost redoing one’s teeth can give. Shelsea saw this first-hand in her mom. She’s been hooked ever since, and you can feel this passion. 

Originally from Northern Nevada, Shelsea enjoys all that this part of the country offers. You can find her and her husband enjoying Tahoe in the summer, hanging with their dog Hayley, or trying out one of their favorite restaurants(Ohana Sushi or Pancho & Willey’s). 

Her favorite holiday is July 4th, which just so happens to be her birthday AND wedding anniversary. Runner up is Thanksgiving.

Around the office, Shelsea remembers everything. She’ll remember the most amazing facts, and details about patients, preferences and family.

Tami

Registered Dental Hygienist

Tami has been in the dental field for over 30 years in multiple different specialities. She grew up in Southern California and moved to Reno in her early 20s to raise her two kids, Tori and Cade with her husband, Marty. She loves being able to help create healthy smiles among her patients and if we are having a bad day, she is the first one in the office we go to to make us smile! Tami is not normally very spontaneous but, in a weekend leadership course a few years ago, she listened to the speaker and went and bought a new car (she says she won’t speak about the terrible interest rate she got)!

Ashley

Registered Dental Hygienist

Ashley has the longest history in our office being the daughter of the previous owner, Dr. Gregory Pisani. So, you could say that she has worked with teeth her whole life! She is a native Nevadan and the lucky mom to two boys, ages 2.5 years and 6 months and loves the idea of raising her boys exactly where she and her husband grew up! She most loves her days off in the summertime when she can go hiking and spending time in the afternoon hanging out on the beaches in Tahoe. Wintertime, on the other hand, you can find her hanging with her husband and boys in the snow skiing (especially as the boys get older). Ashley loves being able to connect and help the public with their dental health. Even if she only spends an hour with them, she loves getting the chance to help them leave better than they did when they first entered her chair.

Chelsea

Registered Dental Hygienist

Chelsea was originally born in Hollister, CA and grew up in Reno. She has been working in the dental field for 7 years and is married to her high school sweetheart, Hunter. She is a lucky mom to two boys and in her time outside of work, owns a small business called Charming Choyce Boutique and knows all things fashion. She loves any kind of Disney movie and loves going on outings with her family, checking out local coffee shops and exploring the Nevada wilderness. Her favorite part about working in dentistry is the connections and relationships she gets to form with her patients and seeing their oral health progress over the years and hearing all the new updates of their lives.

Garyn

Registered Dental Hygienist

Garyn joined our team in September of 2022 and fits right into our practice. She grew up in Susanville, CA.  After getting her Dental Hygiene degree in Boise, ID, she decided to move back to Reno to be closer to her family. If she’s not working, she spends her time shopping (even though she knows she shouldn’t do that as often but it is her guilty pleasure). She is the middle child in her family and loves to spend as much time as possible with her older and younger sister as well as her parents, so she is constantly driving to Susanville on the weekends so they can all be together. She has been in the dental field for about 3 years and loves getting to know her patients and seeing their dental health improvements made while in her care.

Angel

Registered Dental Assistant

Angel grew up in Woodland, CA and started her career in teeth 7 years ago. In 2018, she and her son, Bennet moved to Reno and joined our team. Angel loves that in dentistry, she can help give her patients their confidence back through their smiles. She loves getting to be artistic with our cases and giving patients a positive experience. She feels so rewarded when she hears patients say “Wow, that really wasn’t that bad”. Angel is the definition of a true country girl; she spends most of her days off either planning her wedding or riding her beautiful horses around the Nevada Desert with her son and fiance, Donnie. She always says that if she didn’t live in Nevada, she would likely move to Texas (Because everything is better in Texas!).

Andrea

Registered Dental Assistant

Andrea grew up in Gilroy, CA, the garlic capital of the world! She and her fiance, Austin moved to Reno in Feb of 2022 and we were lucky enough to have her join our team after being in the dental field for 13 years! Andrea spends her days off enjoying her coffee in bed alongside her 2 cats, getting takeout and catching some of the beautiful Nevada sunshine. Her favorite part about working in dentistry is establishing relationships with her patients and being a part of their smile transformations, big or small. She has always loved working with her hands so, having the chance to actually help sculpt teeth makes her feel fulfilled.

Max

Front Office/Assistant Team Floater

Max comes to us all the way from Carlsbad, CA where he was used to surfing and playing a lot of lacrosse. He is fairly new to the dental field with dreams of going to Dental Hygiene school, so cross your fingers for him to get in this fall! He feels as though dental health is a foundational element for a happy and healthy life. It is his goal for the future to help people maintain their dental health and make sure his future patients can keep smiling! On his days off, you can find him rock climbing or backcountry skiing and enjoying everything that Northern Nevada has to offer. The most spontaneous thing he has ever done was when he went on a year-long climbing trip with his wife, living in a van! The next time that you are in the office, say hello to Max!
