Meet our Hastings Dental Team

Our Hastings dental team is committed to providing top-quality dental care. Learn more about the talented staff members at our Hastings location. Get to know the team below!

Janelle

Dental Hygienist

Janelle

Hello, I’m your Registered Dental Hygienist, Janelle. My goal is to show you how to achieve and maintain good oral health habits. I will always strive to make getting your teeth cleaned a positive experience. With the use of our intra-oral cameras we can view your teeth on a TV monitor, so you can see what I see. Dental technology has come so far in the last few years and we make every effort to provide our patients with things like digital X-rays and 3-D Cone Beam Scans to make your hygiene visits as painless and comfortable as possible. My husband, Wayne and I have been married since 1987 and we have two daughters, Megan (’91) and Kaitlyn (’93). Megan works as a physical therapy assistant in Holdrege, NE. She is married to Tom Delka and they have one daughter, Thera (May, 2017). It’s been so much fun being a Grandmother. I Love it! Kaitlyn is having fun with her after college career as a school teacher. She loves helping out the kids! We enjoy golfing, our time outdoors and spending time with our neighbors and friends.

I have worked in the dental field since 2005 achieving both my Dental Assisting and Dental Hygiene degrees from Central Community College in Hastings. I started working for Dr. Bauer in Dec 2011. My favorite thing about working both places is that I know I’m in a professional office that is committed to offering excellence to as many people as possible. Even though the Doniphan office is small, it offers a sort of peaceful charm and friendliness I can’t explain. Come see us! My husband, Brad, and I live in Grand Island and have 2 children, Emmett (1996) and Emily (1998). Brad is one of the Captain’s on the Grand Island Fire Department.

Hi my name is Ashley and to some of you I may have a familiar face. I worked as Dr. Bauer’s dental assistant for almost 10 years until I took a break from dentistry in 2014 to work at Blue Hill Schools. I really missed the dental atmosphere and I am excited to come back to Dr. Bauer’s and work front desk as the scheduling coordinator. I have two daughters, Avaley (2008) and Neela (2011), who keep me busy with all their activities. When I do have some time to myself I enjoy being outside, reading or just hanging out at home. I am very excited to be back at the office and I am looking forward to seeing everyone again!
