Our Team

Athena - Office Manager

Athena moved from Long Island to Colorado in February 2020. If you listen closely, you can hear her NY accent when she talks about her favorite things… her dogs, the beach, and pizza! With over 15 years of customer service and management experience she is always happy to help her team and patients in any way she can. She has two adorable fur babies, Pirate and Hazel, and two amazing step-kids, Chase and Island, that keep her busy. When she’s not at work, you can find her at the local brewery, shopping for the latest fashion finds, curled up with a good book, or watching her not-so-guilty-pleasure reality TV shows on Bravo. She is also a self described beach bum, plant enthusiast, and amateur chef.

Alyssa - Hygienist

Alyssa was born and raised in Arkansas and moved to Colorado in 2019. She graduated from Arkansas State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Applied Science then went on to graduate from Dental Hygiene School in Memphis, TN. She has been a Registered Dental Hygienist for nearly ten years. Her main focus is providing high-quality care to all of her patients while making them feel comfortable during their visit. Alyssa is certified in local anesthesia and nitrous oxide and is a member of the American Dental Hygienist Association. When she is not with her work family, Alyssa enjoys exploring and traveling around Colorado with her husband, Brandon, and she is an avid Nuggets, Avalanche, and Razorback fan. She is also a dog mom to a precious mini bernedoodle named Belle. Alyssa is excited to have a career that she genuinely loves and is grateful to be working with such an amazing team at Mountain West Family Dental

Mohan - Mascot

Mohan hails from Amish country in Pennsylvania before he was adopted  by Dr. Patel. What he lacks in work ethic he makes up in kindness and  kisses. He has lived in Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, and now Colorado. He is a natural hiker but has an intense fear of bodies of water which  makes Colorado his dream home. You can catch him showing up to work on  some Fridays and will never deny pets from anyone.
