Tanya / Implant Coordinator

From your first phone call to our office, my goal is to make sure you feel comfortable and well-informed. From your initial examination through every step of your treatment, Dr. Tokarczyk provides thorough, detailed care. He focuses on your individual needs and recommends the treatment options that are truly best for you. I have worked in dentistry for over fifty years, forty-five of those alongside Dr. Tokarczyk. My experience with dental implants is a valuable part of the care we provide, and I’m grateful for the continuing education opportunities he has given me, including learning directly from nationally recognized experts. My church and family are very important to me. Motorcycling, boating, and just being together has been a joy. We have two beautiful children and four grandchildren. I have been with Dr. Tokarczyk for over forty-five years and enjoy each and every one of our team members. I enjoy spending time with my family and our five beautiful grandchildren.

Kerri / Registered Dental Hygienist

Working with such a compassionate and skilled team of periodontal professionals makes helping patients achieve better oral health incredibly rewarding. Our family-like atmosphere truly extends to the patients we care for. I graduated from the dental hygiene program at Wichita State University in 1993 and have worked as a periodontal dental hygienist for over 33 years, 20 of those being with Dr. Tokarczyk. Outside the office, I enjoy the outdoors, gardening, and spending time at the beach. My three children are grown, and I’m loving every moment with my first grandbaby.

Jackie / Scheduling Coordinator

My goal every day is to ensure our patients feel comfortable and confident in their decision to trust us with their periodontal care and overall health. I began my career in dentistry with Dr. Tokarczyk when I was 17 years old and I’m grateful to still be part of this journey now into my fifties. Outside of the office, I love spending time with my husband, son, daughter and three grandchildren

Yuliya / Office Manager

From insurance and treatment estimates to keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes, I’m here to make your visit easier and your paperwork feel far less overwhelming. With a background in business and operations and a past life as a competitive athlete I like to keep things efficient, clear, and professional. Outside the office, you can usually find me with spending time with family, staying active, and probably on my phone talking in Ru-nglish with my twin sister.

Jamie / Dental Receptionist

I have proudly been a part of this practice since 2024, serving as a dental receptionist. I enjoy the opportunity to be there and support our patients every day. Outside the office, I love spending time with my family and being outdoors. I’m a mom to twins a boy and a girl, and I also have another wonderful daughter.

Mary / Administrative Assistant

I first joined Dr. Tokarczyk's office in January 2020 and had the privilege of working here for three wonderful years. I then expanded my professional role to also serve as the office administrator for my family-owned business, a position I continue to hold. While balancing both roles, I realized how much I truly value the close-knit, family atmosphere and caring environment of this practice. I was delighted to return in October 2025 and now work here part time on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Helping patients feel comfortable and confident, especially when navigating financial and insurance questions is something I genuinely enjoy. I take pride in making the scheduling process simple and stress-free, and I am always happy to assist in any way I can.

Outside the office, I have been happily married to my husband, Dave, for over 34 years. We have an adult son and his wife, who have one son, and an adult daughter and her husband, who have two sons. Our three grandsons, ages 6, 5, and 4, keep life joyful, busy, and full of laughter!

Nakayla / Clinical Assistant

I’m a mom of two and have worked in general dentistry for three years. I’ve always wanted to be more involved with surgical care, and that’s what led me to Dr. Tokarczyk. He is truly the best dentist I’ve had the privilege of working with. My goal is to make your experience as warm and comfortable as possible every time you visit.

Kyla / Clinical Assistant

My goal is to make your experience with us both comfortable and successful. Although I’ve only been with Dr. Tokarczyk for a short time, I love to see all the trust patients have in his work and his ability to provide amazing quality care. I live on a 50-acres of land where I take care of my dogs and chickens, and I love spending time outdoors whether it’s fishing, hunting, or simply being outside whenever I can.

Anastacia / Laboratory Technitian

I am passionate about creating a comfortable experience for the people I serve. Helping others feel at ease is at the heart of what I do. When I’m not working, you’ll find me spending time with my family or enjoying the outdoors—being in nature is how I recharge and stay grounded.

Shelly / Registered Dental Hygienist

As I begin my 38th year as a clinical dental hygienist, I can truly say that I enjoy my profession today as much as I ever have. Being part of the exceptional team at Dr. Tokarczyk’s practice has been the pinnacle of my career. I received a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Dentistry in 1989. I am passionate about building meaningful relationships with my patients, providing compassionate and individualized care, and educating you so you feel confident in your oral health. I strongly believe in professional growth and regularly attend continuing education conferences each year to stay current with the latest therapies and innovations in dental care. After living in Germany and then Texas, I returned to Missouri several years ago to be closer to my family, my three adult children, and my first granddaughter, Emma. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time in my beloved Ozarks hiking, kayaking, and gardening.
