Lori Poulson

Lori Poulson is Dr. Jeff Poulson's better-half. She assists Suzie and Charlotte in running the front office, but most of her work is done off-site and behind the scenes. She has worked in Front office positions at BYU-Provo's Registration office and their prestigious Law School. Her true love is teaching and working with youth, especially children. She owned and operated a preschool for over 13 years and loved that period of her life.

Lori's passion is all things running. She is a state champion 800-meter runner in Arizona and ran for BYU in college, both track and cross country. She is currently the head coach for the Prairie View High School Cross Country team in the fall and an assistant coach for PVHS Track and Field in the spring, coaching middle distance/long distance event athletes. She is passing that passion for health and fitness on to her two beautiful daughters, who are both very active, and can be found most evenings at either a soccer field or a track/cross country course.

Ashley Hoffman, RDH

Ashley has been a Colorado resident since 2016. She first became fascinated with dentistry at the tender age of 6 after losing her first tooth. At that time, she wanted to become a dentist so she could pull out other kids’ baby teeth; however, later on, that passion refined into the dental hygiene field. 

In 2007 after high school, Ashley started dental assisting at her family dentist in Flagstaff, AZ and completed the dental assisting program at Rio Salado College in 2011. She graduated on the Dean’s List with her Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene at Northern Arizona University in 2014. Ashley has a passion for patients' overall well-being and how oral health affects the body. She has a special interest in screening for airway health in children to ensure proper facial development and growth. 

Ashley and her husband Andrew love snowboarding, rock climbing, board games and experimenting in the kitchen with new recipes. They volunteer their time as leaders at their church and look forward to becoming first-time homeowners.
