Karen Hooker
Dental Assistant, First Employed 1983, Returned 1989, 1992, 2007
Karen began working for Dr. Longfellow in his first office on Lakeshore Drive in Tempe, Arizona. She exchanged her dental assisting career for full-time parenting but always returned to her passion-making a difference in the lives of children by providing outstanding dental care and friendship. She knows exactly what children need most-love and attention. We are thrilled that her 1981 marriage brought her to Arizona from Santa Fe, New Mexico where she was born. She chose to work at Children's Dental Village because she believes we provide excellent dental care and excellent customer service to parents and patients-"That is what I wish for my own kids and myself when I visit other health care providers. I offer my best!"
Karen loves being involved with community service both through CDV and on her own. Every year she volunteers for the Christmas Angel trees. When she is not at work she wants to be involved with her family - especially now that her children are adults and are much more compatible!
