Meet The Team

Annette Holt, Office Manager

AnnetteMy name is Annette, The Office Manager for Synergy Dental Group. I have worked at this practice since 2004 and I love it. One of the best things about my job is getting to know our patients and working with them throughout their treatment with billing and insurance. I like to call my co workers and bosses my work family. Not only are the Doctors very skilled and professional, they liven the office with their quick wit and sense of humor, making Synergy Dental the practice it is. I look forward to coming in to work to see my “Synergy Sisters” and planning fun activities with them outside the office.

I am an Arizona native. I’ve been married for twenty five years to my husband, Ron. We enjoy going for walks, out to movies and being together. I enjoy home decorating and cooking, especially making family dinners. The best thing about being a mother to four, is being a grandmother to fourteen. What I look forward to most is going on vacations with my kids and grandkids, building strong relationships and making lasting memories.

DaniellaMy name is Daniella and I’m one of the Dental Hygienists for Dr. Scott Adams and Dr. David and Matt Ellingson. I’ve been with this practice since 2000 and enjoy the camaraderie we have as a dental team. I look forward to coming to work. I have been a dental hygienist for over 26years and love what I do. I have had 8 years experience in a periodontal practice, which has given me opportunities to succeed in arresting periodontal disease, and motivating my patients to keep their mouths healthy. Coming to Synergy Dental Group is like no other. The doctors are very fair and honest with treatment options and treat their patients as they would their own family

We as a team are required to continue our education to improve and expand our knowledge of dentistry. We love to have fun at our office and you will notice that when you enter the practice. The doctors treat each and everyone of us with the utmost respect and show their appreciation several times a year by taking us on trips, to the theatre, dinners, lunches and lots of parties! I am a native of Rochester, New York, and went to the State University of New York at Rochester. I currently live in Mesa with my 3 beautiful boys.  In my free time, I enjoy working out, running, traveling, cooking, and socializing with my girlfriends and coworkers.


Laurie Kramer, RDH

LaurieHello, my name is Laurie and I am a hygienist for the Synergy Dental Group. I started in this practice in 1989. I work part-time now.   I honestly believe that there is no better group of dedicated, quality, and genuinely caring people, as the staff here at Synergy Dental Group. It is wonderful to walk in the door and feel so at home.

My favorite reason for continuing my hygiene career is being able to make a difference in the oral health and general well-being of a patient with each visit. I love people and connecting with them, finding out about their lives. Making sure I have met a patient’s dental needs is everything to me.

I am a native of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and currently live in Mesa.  I enjoy gardening, spending time with grandchildren, movies, and volunteering in Mexico. I have been a member of the Flying Samaritans for the past 18 years. This organization enables me to give back to the poor of the Baja and, as it usually goes, I receive 10 fold.
