Meet Our Team Colorado Springs, CO

My name is Alexa, I have been lucky enough to be a part of Elevation Family and Cosmetic Dentistry since February 2020 and took on the role of Office Manager about a year ago. I have grown such a love for dentistry since I joined the Elevation team! I enjoy taking CE classes and attending dental conferences to learn more on how I can benefit our patients and practice.

Though I have many roles here in the office, I am happy to help my patients with anything from scheduling to billing. I strive to make sure our office provides excellent service and always have an open ear for how we can do better!

When I am not at the office, I am home loving on my kiddos and enjoying the outdoors.

My name is Erika and I have been a part of the Elevation team since January 2023. One thing I love about working as an Administrative Assistant at Elevation is helping patients when they need to be fit into the schedule. I always try to show our patients compassion and understanding when scheduling their appointments, especially if they are having a dental emergency. I also really value that Elevation Dental is privately-owned. The doctors are focused on treatment planning what is best for the patient and not over treatment planning. When I’m not at work I am spending time with my daughter Rhyan.

My name is Amanda and I have been a hygienist at Elevation Family and Cosmetic Dentistry since 2020. I grew up in Colorado Springs and received my dental hygiene degree from Pueblo Community College. I strive to provide a thorough yet comfortable experience for my patients. One thing I love about working here is that we all work as a team to provide the best care and are always striving to create a comfortable environment.

I have a wonderful husband, Justin, and a 3-year-old daughter, Elliana, who keeps me busy. During my free time, I enjoy spending time and making memories with my family.

I joined the practice as a dental hygienist in March of 2022. I enjoy being a part of Elevation Family and Cosmetic Dentistry thanks to the collaborative attitude towards patient care and the ease of being a part of a supportive and fun, yet hardworking team. My goal is to provide our patients with thorough and efficient periodontal care. I graduated in May 2014 from Tennessee State University in Nashville and moved back to Colorado the following month. When I’m not at work, I spend most of my time at the barn with my two horses or hanging with our Boxer dog, Penny.

Hello! My name is Cathryn and I’ve been a hygienist at Elevation Family and Cosmetic Dentistry since August of 2021. I earned my bachelor’s degree from University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. It’s great to come to work and truly enjoy the people you work with. I enjoy living in the community and serving the people in this beautiful area.

I strive to make my patients feel a sense of family and community at Elevation Dental. I want my patients to have an enjoyable experience. I strive to educate patients and be thorough yet gentle. In my free time I enjoy hiking, camping, weight lifting and running.

My name is Cindy, and I have been a part of the Elevation Family and Cosmetic Dentistry team since 2022. I received my degree in dental hygiene from Pueblo Community College in 1995. I am a proud winner of the Golden Scaler Award, which is given to Hygienists with remarkable skills and talents.

I was fortunate enough to join the Elevation team after being at the same office in Colorado Springs for 34 years. I chose to find a new position after my previous office was bought by a corporation. Because of that experience, I value that Elevation is family-owned and operated, not a corporate office. Dr. McQuigg and her associates really care for each patient and treat everyone like family. The staff works hard to make you feel at home.

Through my many years of dental experience I have made many cherished relationships with my patients. I’m honored that, when I joined the Elevation team in 2022, many of my patients were able to continue care with me.

My name is Sandra and I graduated in 2011 from the dental hygiene program at the Community College of Denver. I have been with Elevation since 2020, and I enjoy building trusting relationships with my patients and educating them on the importance of maintaining their dental health between professional dental cleanings. I strive to give patients a positive and comfortable experience when they come in for their cleanings and appointments.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family (my husband, Jose, our daughter, Vivian, and our dog, Teddy) and spending time in nature, including hiking, fishing, kayaking, biking and camping in the mountains of Colorado.

I have been dental assisting for three years. My husband and I moved here from Kansas City, Missouri. I am a cat mom to two adorable kitties. I love the outdoors, hiking and biking.

My name is Janelle and I started working at Elevation Family and Cosmetic Dentistry in January 2024! I achieved my degree in Radiology in 2011 but have been working in the dental field chairside as an assistant for the last eight years. I have really enjoyed the friendships and comradery I have found in working here. I feel that by working chairside with amazing coworkers and doctors, we are making people smile on the inside by renewing their smile on the outside. What a gratifying and humbling profession! Would not change it for the world!

I am a Southern Colorado Native and have a wonderful son named Riley and a dog named Ruby! Some of my past times include riding horses with my sisters, gardening, fishing, camping and spending quality time with my son.
