Janell
Janell started working in the field of dentistry in 1989. In 1993, she graduated from Pueblo Community College, obtained her Colorado State Dental Hygiene Licenses and has been practicing dental hygiene ever since.
She worked in Colorado Springs with a dentist who had advanced training at the Pankey Institute. Later, in 1999, Janell obtained her Arizona Dental License in Hygiene and moved to the Cave Creek/North Scottsdale area in Arizona. There she worked with a dentist certified at the Las Vegas Institute for Advance Dentistry Studies. Janell regularly advances her training through continuing education.
Now her husband is retired and the two of them are happy to be back home in Colorado! Having grown up in Colorado Springs, she is feeling quite at home in Salida, Colorado.
"I was delighted to meet Dr. Jenny Filter with her vast education, knowledge and experience in dentistry. I’m looking forward to continuing a high level of dentistry and quality care for patients with Dr. Filter.”
MaxMax has been a dental assistant at this office two years. Originally, he was hired on to help with basic cleanup work, yard work, and other side work/errands as needed. He quickly started watching dental procedures and assisting with a few of them. That's when the doctor realized he was going to do a great job as an assistant. Also, Max realized that he really enjoys working with patients and helping to relieve their pain. He is currently in the process of learning to make crowns to allow patients to get their crowns on the same day as their preparation appointment. On his days off he likes to be outdoors hiking, camping, snowboarding, and a handful of other active things.

Sam also likes to snowboard, shoot hoops, hike and watch movies.
