Make Every Day Earth Day

I grew up in western Nebraska and graduated from the University of Nebraska College of Dentistry in 2008. I've been married to Deidra since 2001 and I have two sons. 

I love: golfing, traveling, watching the Huskers and the Broncos, dark chocolate, and ketchup (not together).

I dislike: inconsiderate people, stepping in water in socks, and being late.

You may not know that: I call my mom almost every day. I am very competitive and love to earn trophies. I am a practical joker and am quite good at juggling. 

I grew up in the dental office. My father is Dr. Harvey Weber. I started out as a child licking stamps and folding letters and then began doing more advanced clerical work. By the time I was a teenager I was working in the lab pouring up models. I received a Bachelor’s of Dental Hygiene from the University of Nebraska in 2002 and worked for six years in that profession while putting my husband through dental school. At the same time, I went to night school for my Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling. We moved to Farmington in 2008. My husband, Dr. Travis Watson, and I purchased the practice from my dad in 2011. All the years I’ve spent in the office and my experience as a hygienist working in different offices and even the University setting has really helped me to understand the ins and outs of a dental practice and I enjoy the challenges of owning a business. 

I love: my two sons, epiphanies, a good nap, Netflix, Indian food.

I dislike: being hot, waking up early, bake chocolate desserts, giving bad news.

You may not know that I: play the piano and participate in Fantasy Football. 

Growing up, I always loved going to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned. As I got older, I began thinking I would like to help other people gain a beautiful smile and confidence. I graduated from the University of New Mexico in 2004 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Dental Hygiene. I started at Pinon Hills Dental in 2006. In August 2009, I was married to my best friend, Andy. Together, we have two kids, a Labrador named Ari and a golden retriever named Kimber. I am very active outside of the office in my professional association, the American Dental Hygienists’ Association. I have been elected to various positions at the local, state, and national levels including local society president, state secretary, and delegate to the national conference. I am passionate about working with the state and national legislatures through the ADHA to gain access to quality dental care for everyone.

A Farmington native, I married Regan in 2002, we have been business owners for just as long. We have two daughters who make our life complete. I am a 2006 SJC Dental Hygiene graduate. I enjoy being a dental hygienist; it is more than just cleaning teeth. I enjoy getting to know our patients and their families. Helping our patients to achieve and maintain dental health, and assisting them in understanding the importance of how it relates to their overall health is rewarding. When not at the dental office, my husband and I run a few barber shops, a barber school and a janitorial business. In the summer months, we spend our weekends at a dirt race-car track, somewhere. I have been a hygienist at PHD since 2015. 

I love: Road trips with Regan are the best! Being in the company of great friends, Dining Out, Date Nights, Dark Chocolate, German Chocolate Cake

I dislike: Scary Movies, Artificial Raspberry flavoring, Creepy Crawling Things (I get the house sprayed year-round) and Rodents

You may not know that: I am a couch potato (when time permits).

I have lived in the four Corners my entire life. I married my high school sweetheart in 2007 and we have two children. I love helping people and I enjoy helping people maintain dental health. I have been a hygienist at PHD since 2007.

I love: Chai tea lattes, live music, sunrises, mountain biking, and Birkenstocks.

I dislike: mint chocolate chip ice cream, asking for help, mean people, squeaky shopping carts and broken fingernails. 

You may not know that: I enjoy listening to geeky, scientific podcasts in my free time. 

I grew up in Texas, but consider myself a New Mexican, as I have lived here for 40 years. I'm an avid adventurer with a zest for life. I find joy in the simple pleasures of reading, cooking, mountain biking, hiking and camping. My love for a healthy lifestyle extends beyond physical activity. My handsome husband of 39 years and I  have 2 wonderful adult children. I have worked for the caring and invaluable Watson's since 2017. 

I love: a good sense of humor, literally laughing out loud, Jiu Jitsu, UFC, sports, river rafting, movies and delicious homemade food. 

I dislike: bugs, strong perfume/cologne and dishonesty. 

You may not know that: I can't sleep late, which can be a blessing and a curse. 

I was born and raised in Farmington, New Mexico, & graduated from Farmington High School before pursuing my passion for dental care. After attending Chair Dental Academy, I earned my dental assisting license. Over the past 20 years, I've dedicated myself to the dental field and I am currently the Accounts Manager here at Pinon Hills Dental. Outside of work, traveling and quality time with family and friends are my cherished pursuits.  I love cheering for the Oklahoma Sooners and Cowboys Football! My heart belongs to my wonderful husband Lyle, and my active son Jack, who also share my love for sports.  Our family also includes three incredible dogs, Coco, Daphnee, & Daisee, who bring so much love and joy into our lives.  

I love: reading, online shopping, crystal, and learning from my experiences in life. 

I dislike: being cold, cats, stubbing my toe, and getting my sleeves wet when I wash my hands.

You may not know that: I like tiny tattoos and I used to be a Zumba teacher.
