Our Team

 
 

Jayne Hull

Patient Coordinator

Jayne is the friendly voice you hear on the phone ready to listen and help in any way she can. She has a wealth of administrative skills, but her strength lies in understanding the needs of each patient. Jayne has strong organizational skills, a can-do positive attitude, the ability to roll with change, and an infectious laugh! Since 2001, Jayne has enjoyed the challenges of our busy office because of the consistent, rewarding opportunities to meet the needs of our patients and her co-workers.

Jayne, born and raised in the area, has a deep understanding of all that is Vermont. Outside the office you will find her kayaking, camping, snowshoeing, or on long hikes accompanied by family, friends, and any dog willing to come along. Jayne takes delight in many things, most especially her grandkids!

Rachel Hochman

Rachel Hochman is a coach and practice management consultant for dental practices. One of these practices belongs to her husband, Dr. Mark Knott. In his office, she planned the interior design and created and manages an art gallery, show-casing local artists. The gallery is a win-win-win, patients get to see and buy local art, the staff is surrounded by beautiful installations, and the local artists get a lot of visibility from people who might not otherwise visit a gallery.

Prior to her dental team coaching career, she owned a tutoring business for eleven years. As the “Wise Guide,” Rachel tutored students in geometry, algebra, calculus, statistics, biology, chemistry, physics, and writing. She also mentored students through the college choice and application process.Rachel started her tutoring business after serving as an academic advisor at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Oregon State University and as director of the career counseling and internship program at Sterling College.

Rachel holds degrees in Biology and Ecology from Bucknell University, University of California, Davis, and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. During her undergraduate and masters degrees she researched wetland plant ecology and the relationships between rare plant populations, hydrology, and soil chemistry in central PA; fire suppression in the Sierra Nevada; effects of hydrological changes on anadromous fish growth; salinity effects on rice growth; and Southern floodplain forest growth and regeneration in response to dam-altered hydrology. Rachel’s passions are raising lamb, eggs and vegetables for her family and friends, walking her adorable Jack Russell Terriers, cycling, skiing, and generally enjoying the marvelous quality of life that Vermont has to offer.

Amanda Maxham

Dental Assistant 

Amanda grew up on the dirt roads of Vermont which offered her an instant love and connection with the outdoors. From river swimming and salamander catching to learning how to provide for her family at a young age, Amanda enjoyed it all. 

Enjoying providing for others is what makes Amanda a wonderful assistant, and her gentle nature helps patients feel comfortable when at the dentist.
