Hygienist

Kathy Tersavich

Kathy attended Hygiene school and graduated from Springfield Technical Community College. Kathy is a
great hygienist with a calm chairside manner and a kind demeanor. Her favorite thing about being a hygienist is getting to know each patient’s specific need and helping meet those individually. Kathy has been with Dr. Walz since he began his practice in 2004. She stays busy with her two pot belly pigs, Elliot and Wilson. In the summer we are almost guaranteed to grab something yummy from her amazing garden.

Amy Melloni

Amy has been a part of our team since 2005 as a dental hygienist. She attended and graduated from
Springfield Technically Community College. She is an extremely talented patient educator and very passionate about helping people understand the importance of their oral health. Amy enjoys spending time with her family.

Andrea Carey

Andrea graduated from Springfield Technical Community College and has been a hygienist with us since 2013. She has a contagious, bubbly personality that makes everyone instantly fall in love with her once in her chair. Andrea’s favorite thing about being a hygienist is getting to know each and every one of her patient’s specific needs and helping meet those individually. Outside of the office, you can find her out running and enjoying personal time with her husband and daughter, Olivia.

Julia Lavigne

Julia graduated from Springfield Technical Community College in 2018. Julia first joined our team temporarily, but when we recognized her passion and love for our patients, we quickly realized we wanted her to stay forever. She has an awesome personality, which helps make our patients visits run smoothly and efficiently. We are happy to say that Julia has a permanent spot here at DSA with our amazing team.
