Erin, RDH
I love working with Dr. Scott, Dr. Hunter, and our wonderful staff! I have worked with the office for over 20 years now! We are all very close like family. I love my job! I enjoy the friendships I have made with my patients. I also enjoy educating my patients so they can strive to have a happy, healthy smile and overall better health.
Outside of work, I also work along with my husband in our own tile and stone business. I enjoy spending time with my husband and two boys and best friend, my mom! I enjoy the great outdoors of camping, riding dirt bikes, snow skiing, and hanging out at the ocean!
Kelly, RDH
I'm a local Paradise girl, born and raised. I went to college in Texas where I earned my Bachelor's Degree in dental hygiene, and while I loved Texas, I am happy to be back in Paradise and near my family again. I love dental hygiene, and my favorite aspect about my job is getting to know my patients on a personal level and building relationships with them. I absolutely love working at this office because we are like family here! When I'm not working, I enjoy playing racquetball and ultimate frisbee, hiking, being involved with my church, and spending time with my family - especially my little nieces and nephew! I can't wait to meet you, and I hope you'll be the next member of our dental family!
Heather, RDH
After growing up in the Bay Area and enjoying many years along the coast, I ventured up to Butte County with my love of 25 years. We enjoy raising our three children and the slower paced lifestyle in Northern California. Never could I have imagined our most recent "adventure" though we look forward to rebuilding our home and community in Paradise following the Camp Fire.
I joined Hanosh & Hunter Dental Group with ten years of experience in Dental Hygiene. I’ve now had the pleasure of sharing almost seven years amongst a group of amazing humans who share the important vision of excellent patient care in a safe and friendly environment while staying committed to advancing our skills and knowledge in dentistry. I enjoy the opportunity to create relationships with my patients while helping them achieve an understanding of their role in complete oral care and its importance to their overall health. I look forward to the continued growth of our dental family and connecting with the individuals of our community.
Roxana, RDH
I have always loved the dental field and started early at the age of 16, training as a sterilize tech and dental assistant. That solidified my desire to pursue a career in the dental field and in 2015 graduated with a bachelor's in Dental Hygiene from Loma Linda University in Southern California. I moved to the area in 2019, when I followed my husband back to his hometown of Paradise. We've been living in Chico ever since and have loved exploring all the beautiful things that Chico and the surrounding areas have to offer. We like to stay active and on our off time you can find us outside pursuing a myriad of hobbies, or sometimes just happily sitting on the couch watching a good movie.
I am incredibly lucky to have joined Hanosh and Hunter Dental Group. They immediately made me feel welcome and cared for, a sentiment that I am sure is shared with our patients. It is a very special and rare opportunity to be able to work with family (sister and brother-in-law!) and with so many other people that have become like family. We look forward to seeing you in our office and hope to help make the dentist's office a friendly place to visit and maybe, just maybe, learn to not dread.
Elisabeth, RDH
I recently moved to the area and I’m loving the nature that encompasses Chico, especially the rivers and lakes! I’ve always enjoyed the outdoors — hiking, swimming, and tossing a softball from time to time. I love to catch up on a few TV shows, draw, and paint during my free time.
I went to Loma Linda University to receive my bachelor’s degree in dental hygiene. I graduated top of my class, elected to membership in Sigma Phi Alpha, and received the Dean’s Award. Now, I am proud to say that I am a member of the Hanosh and Hunter Dental Group, a group that has been ever so welcoming and caring. I also have the amazing opportunity to work with my sister, Roxana!
I’m happy to have a profession in which I can educate and help my patients maintain and reach a healthy smile, while having the opportunity to form friendships. I have always dreamed of having a career in which I could provide care to my patients' overall health. I’m thrilled to be a part of this community and provide the dental knowledge I have.

Renee, Administrative Assistant
As an Administrative Assistant, I assist my teammates in taking calls, scheduling appointments, coordinating with Insurance plans, creating treatment estimates and arranging financing for patients. I'm a Paradise Native and like many of our patients, went through the Camp Fire in 2018. Its been beautiful to witness the growth of the Ridge over the last few years, and I am honored to serve our wonderful community. I've worked for Hanosh and Hunter since 2012, and love the team they've assembled to care for your dental needs. As someone that experiences dental anxiety, I can assure you our doctors and staff are the best around! We offer an array of options for anyone who is fearful of having Dental treatment. But more than anything, we have a group of really great people who put their all into providing the highest care possible. We hope to meet you soon!
Madison,
Paradise Administrative Assistant
Hello, my name is Madison, but most people know me as Maddy. I was born and raised in Paradise, I have a deep - rooted love for this small town. A little about me is that I am a dog mom of two Yorkies and love taking them on hikes or walks around Paradise. I graduated from PHS in 2019 and have always wanted to work in the medical or dental field because I love caring for others and to have the ability to be apart of making a difference in others lives is rewarding. You may recognize me from working at Holiday Market and recently, I embarked on a new journey as part of the team at Hanosh and Hunter Dental Group in Paradise. It’s incredibly fulfilling to reconnect with familiar faces while getting to explore the exciting world of dentistry. I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve my community in this new chapter with Hanosh and Hunter Dental Group
Hanosh & Hunter Dental Assistant Team
Debbi, RDA
I am beginning my 43rd year in dentistry as a Registered Dental Assistant. I received my AA degree in Dental Assisting in 1975. I took the very first RDA in August of that year and received my license. I also went back to school and received my BS degree in Business in 1983. I began my career at the VA Hospital in Livermore the summer between my first and second year of school. I also did a quarter of internship there. After I graduated I worked in an office in Livermore as an RDA for 22 years before moving to the Redding area. I spent 17 years in a dental office in Anderson, CA, before the dentist decided to retire. I have been living here in Paradise for 13 years, so 12 of the 17 years I commuted everyday to Anderson. I was very fortunate to find a RDA position here in Paradise with Dr. Scott and Dr. Hunter. I feel very blessed, and my hope is to end my career here in this office. We do everything here that I have always dreamed of doing in the dental profession such as implant surgery, orthodontics, iv sedation, same day CEREC crowns. If I am not doing dentistry, you will find me in my backyard gardening.
Rhea, RDA, EF2
I was born and raised right here in Paradise. I have been in the dental field for 11 years and love my job. What I love most is interacting with people and providing quality care for our patients. I have been with Hanosh and Hunter dental group for two years and wouldn't change my job for the world. Our team is like family to me, and we treat our patients the same way. In my spare time I love spending time with my daughter, Sadie, and fiancé Curtis.
Jennah, RDA, EF2
My name is Jennah and I am a RDA, EF2. I have been in the dental field since 2012 starting my career here with Dr. Scott and Dr. Hunter. I was born and raised in Chico, CA. I am a mother to three beautiful children, including a set of boy/girl twins! My hubby, Eldon and I grew up together and have spent most of our adult lives together. Fun fact: my mom was Eldon's dental assistant when we were kids! I enjoy meeting new patients and helping them on their journey to a perfect smile. It is such a pleasure to watch patients start shy or fearful, but leave feeling confident and at ease about their dental experience.
On my time off, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. We love to traveI and make fun memories all together. I have always strongly valued family and spending quality time together, which is why I love this practice--it does not feel like work, it feels like family. I look forward to meeting you here to join our family too!
Lindsay Anderson
Hygiene Assistant
I was born and raised in Paradise. My husband (Shawn) and I have two children: Mackenzie and Michael. Both kids are very active in sports and we spend most of our evenings and weekends at softball & baseball games, wrestling tournaments, soccer games, etc. I’m a very proud sports mom! When we aren’t at sporting events, we love to spend time at our family cabin in Philbrook, go fishing, camping, hunting, and hiking.
I have been part of the Hanosh and Hunter team since 2013. I feel blessed to be able to work with this amazing group of people, who have become more like family than co-workers.
Katlyn, RDA
My name is Katlyn AKA Kat! I was born and raised in Sonoma County and moved to oroville in 2018! As soon as I moved here, I started the dental assisting program with Butte County ROP in Chico. Shortly after, I got my RDA license and am now working towards my RDAEF2! I love to interact with our patients and make it my goal to ensure you’re comfortable and as relaxed as possible while in the chair. I’m really passionate about giving you the best dental experience possible! I truly love the work we do here and enjoy that I’m always learning from our Doctors and patients! I’m recently engaged to my fiancé, Robert and we have one little fur baby named Buster! He’s a spoiled doggo. When I’m not here helping with your smile, you can find me spending time with my family and friends. Whether that be out on the town trying all the new foods, out on the lake or in the mountains!
I am very fortunate to have found an office to call home and coworkers to call family! I look forward to seeing you at your next visit!
Sammi, RDA
My name is Sammi. I have been in the Dental field since 2012, and have been working as an RDA since I got hired on with Hanosh and Hunter Dental Group in 2020, and am lucky to work with such an amazing group of people. I am currently going back to school to become an RDA EF2 and look forward to graduating in the spring and growing in a field I love.
I am currently engaged, have 2 amazing boys, and am blessed to gain 2 more boys. Together we will be outnumbered with 4 boys! In my free time, I love to be outdoors with my boys. Whether it is in the garden or up in the mountains hunting or fishing. Outdoors is where you will find us most of the time.
