Team Members

I have been a registered dental hygienist since March 2000. I have been truly blessed with a career that I absolutely love.

I am passionate about this practice and its wonderful patients. I strive daily to provide our patients with the highest quality in preventive and therapeutic care.

I have been a registered dental hygienist since April 2018. I grew up in Marlow and graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene in May of 2016.

I strive to make everyone have a positive dental experience and love working with wonderful patients. My desire is for others to reach the goal of complete oral health and have the smile they have always wished for.

Maria Martinez supports patients and the clinical team as a dental assistant at Southwest Dental. She helps keep appointments organized, comfortable, and focused on thoughtful care.

I am Diane (Di) St. Clair. I’m married to Jay St. Clair, and we have two daughters, ages 26 and 30.

I returned to work as a dental assistant after a 17-year absence. I have spent 35 years in this profession, including 15 years with Dr. Rodney Nelson before his retirement.

Since that time, I have spent my time in the family business, but a passion for dentistry continued to call me. I have been given an opportunity to work for this outstanding dental practice, once again doing something I dearly love. I want to share my experience with our patients, along with some laughter, hopefully giving them a sense of comfort during their dental visits. I look forward to meeting you.

I joined the team in July 2022 and immediately felt welcomed by the awesome staff and really great patients. I moved to Marlow in early 2022 and married my wonderful husband, Cooper Phillips, later that year.

We spend most of our free time in the Ag world, either with show pigs or with our cow-calf operation. I am so excited about my future at Southwest Dental and look forward to all of the conversations and connections I will make with our patients.

I hope I can bring just a little bit more kindness and helpfulness into our patients’ lives and make the process of scheduling at the dentist enjoyable.
