Jonathan Tsao, Dental Assistant
I am a Washington University predental student who hopes to enter dental school in summer of 2026. I was inspired to enter the field because of my cleft lip and palate, a congenital birth defect, and the dentists who helped repair the cleft. In my free time, I like to play the violin, practice the Korean martial art, taekwondo, and cook.
Katie Kovis, Administrative Assistant
I have been working in the dental field for over 10 years and really enjoy getting to know all our patients and their families. Seeing a patient smile after their appointment is one of the greatest rewards. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my 3 kids (Charlie, Brooklyn, and Ella) and going to soccer, gymnastics and cheer leading. I also enjoy walking and spending time with my dogs.
