Megan began her career in dentistry as a Certified Dental Assistant in 1998 before going back to school and graduating as a Registered Dental Hygienist in 2009. The procedural approach Megan used while flying Medivac planes strongly tie to her systematic approach to health care. Her greatest reward is seeing a patient with a severe periodontal condition transition over time into a healthier smile. She takes pride in her role of oral health promotion and disease prevention, staying current on new products, innovations and research in the dental industry. Megan has sharpened her dental skills working in a periodontist specialist office where she greatly expanded her expertise. We are always happy to see Megan for a shift as she is a true team player and always comes to work putting her best foot forward.

Outside of work, Megan enjoys skiing, hiking and spending time with her husband and three kids at the lake. In 2020, she successfully competed in the Peek to Creek ski race in Whistler.

In 2006 Phil graduated from the dental hygiene program at Oxford College in Toronto. Shortly after Philip moved to Vancouver in 2007 and joined our team at Valley Centre Dental Group in January of 2021. He has quickly become popular with our patients. His goal is to make dental cleanings as relaxing as possible.

Philip is passionate about martial arts and enjoys listening to his record collection. On the weekends Phil enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter here in Lynn Valley and supporting his daughter in her Irish dance classes.

Esther was born and raised in Grande Prairie, Alberta. She and her family moved to Langley in 2012. Esther completed her Certified Dental Assistant Program at VCC in 2015, and joined our team in February of 2016. Since then, she has grown into a very competent and skilled dental assistant. She has become so familiar with the procedures and the different ways our dentists work, she can almost always accurately anticipate what instrument or material will be needed in the next step of the procedure. Even Dr. Bach recently half-jokingly said how he’s getting “scared” as Esther has developed the ability to read his mind when they are working together. Esther’s strong work ethic and desire to be helpful make her an important member of our team. Being one of the youngest members of our office, she often lifts up everyone’s spirits and energy, especially during those grey winter days. With her friendly disposition, she helps our patients to relax and to go through their dental treatment with ease and less anxiety. Travelling and helping people being her passion, Esther’s most cherished memories are of her time spent overseas. She has enjoyed volunteering and helping the less fortunate in Uganda. She has also travelled to South Africa, Ukraine, and several other European countries. When not at work or travelling, Esther enjoys spending time with her family and friends, kayaking, snowboarding and most of all playing with her dog Minnie.

We are very fortunate to have Nichole as a part of our team. She brings over 20 years of experience as a Certified Dental Assistant but is always eager to learn more. Nichole truly cares about her patients, with the aim to build a genuine relationship and help people feel comfortable for their regular and emergency dental visits. Over the years, Nichole has spent time volunteering in Vancouver, Mexico City as well as in the tsunami-struck regions of Thailand, providing dental care to those without the means to access it. She loves to travel and owns an absurd number of cookbooks, testing various creations on her supportive family. She lives in Lynn Valley with her husband and three kids and loves hiking and running the beautiful trails of the North Shore with her dog Indy.

Erica’s passion for dentistry stems from her love of making people smile. Erica has been practicing as a Certified Dental Assistant for the past 10 years. Besides her knowledge and interest in dental procedures and the clinical part of the job, Erica has always been trying to improve efficiency and organization in our clinic. Wanting to know better how things work at the “front end”, she learned the aspects and peculiarities of the receptionist’s job. Her knowledge and experience in clinical dentistry, office administration, treatment planning, her commitment to our patients, loyalty, attention to detail and mentorship of her fellow team members helped her evolve into the role of the Office Manager and Treatment Coordinator. Above all, Erica finds it rewarding seeing people smile with trust and confidence when they leave our office. She is known for her use of ‘dad jokes’ when nothing else works. When asked why she loves working with Valley Centre Dental, she says: “I have complete confidence and trust in the way our clinicians work. Our clinic’s ethics, clinical and cosmetic expertise of our staff and the overall commitment to excellence give me confidence in referring my friends and family to Valley Centre Dental Group. Our office’s involvement within the community of Lynn Valley makes me very proud to be a part of this exceptional team of dental professionals.” Outside of dentistry, Erica volunteers her time in a community garden, travels and enjoys spending time with her husband, son and rescue cat Lux.

Jennifer will be the first to greet you when you arrive for an appointment. She has worked as a receptionist in dentistry since 2012, first in the UK and now with Dr. Bach. She has said “I enjoy working for Dr. Bach as he is a very hardworking and supportive boss who goes above and beyond helping our patients and the community. I really enjoy being a part of a team that is non-judgemental and that is oriented into creating and maintaining a humanistic, friendly atmosphere in the workplace.” Jennifer particularly enjoys the aspect of her job that includes helping people to better understand their Insurance plans. She lives with her family in North Vancouver and enjoys when our patients recognize her outside of the office, in a park or in a store while buying groceries. We are truly a family dental practice as we serve many families from great-grandparents all the way down to their youngest great grandbabies!

Jennifer is the proud mum of a beautiful little boy which keeps her very busy!
