I believe in providing my patients with the highest quality, professional care in a compassionate and friendly manner. I enjoy the diversity of cases that dentistry provides, as well as excelling in restorative and cosmetic dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics, endodontics, as well as pediatric dentistry. Hays Dental Group provides an excellent opportunity to accomplish each of these goals. I also enjoy our group's commitment to providing the newest and most relevant treatment to patients. I could not think of a better place to give my patients the care and respect they deserve.

Hays Dental Group has given me great inspiration by providing the best dentistry has to offer in our state of the art office. It gives me great pleasure knowing we are changing peoples' smiles and lives daily.

Stormy Mattson, CDA (Certified Dental Assistant), B.S., Staff Coordinator
I was raised in Cody, WY and attended Northwest Community College where I completed an Associate of Science Degree. I then transferred to Montana State University where I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business. An opportunity presented itself in 2001, to get into the dental field. Upon completing several courses at the Las Vegas Institute of Advanced Dental Studies, Invisalign, Perio Protect, and 6 Month Smiles techniques and application, I knew I made the right choice.

Joni Sando, Office Coordinator / Finance Manager
I was born in Miles City, Montana. As a small child my family and I moved and settled down in Big Timber where I graduated from high school. Upon graduation, I moved to Bozeman to continue my education at Montana State University. While enjoying all that Bozeman has to offer, I met my husband, got married, and added a beautiful little girl, Devyn, to our family. Joni loves to camp, water ski, wakeboard, paint, and be a mom.

I became part of Hays Dental Group in 2004 and has enjoyed working in all areas of the office including dental assisting, receptionist, and now as the Finance Manager and Office Coordinator. I most enjoys being a Finance Manager/Office Coordinator because I love to be able to help patients in need of dental work and be able to show them the options of how to get the work completed. "My favorite part is getting to see our patient's lives change right before us. We have the opportunity to make our patients both beautiful and healthy."

If you have any questions or just want to see Hays Dental Group options, please do not hesitate to stop in and ask for Joni.

Karena Karena Mounts, Dental Receptionist
I grew up in Fort Shaw, and graduated from Simms High School. I originally came to Bozeman to attend Montana State University. I have three very active boys who play sports all year round. When we're not traveling for hockey, football, wrestling and baseball, we enjoy camping, boating, riding motorcycles and relaxing (when we can).

I have been with Hays Dental Group for a combined total of 4 years now. (I left for a year after having my youngest child, and would've never gone back to work unless it was for Hays Dental Group). My goal for my career with Hays Dental Group is to give supreme customer service to all patients I come in contact with. I enjoy working with all of our patients, especially when I have seen some extreme patient transformations over the years, literally frowns turned upside down. That, along with being able to work for extremely caring doctors and a friendly staff is why I love it here!!
