Meet the Team Offering High-Quality Dentistry Services in Anchorage, AK

Debbie (Business Administrator)

Debbie is the Business Administrator/CFO and she has been involved in dentistry for over 40 years. After receiving her Bachelor of Science degree in computer programming she worked for many years in the banking/computer systems industry.  She then received a Master of Business Administration degree in 2019 and is very excited to put to rest the myth that “old dogs can’t be taught new tricks.”  Dr. Preece and Debbie have been married 45 years, have three very talented children, and six fun-loving grandchildren.  Debbie is an active member of her church and teaches Sunday School, enjoys crocheting, sewing, reading, and playing board and iPhone games.

In 1978 Debbie took a 3-month dental assisting course and was hooked on dentistry. A few years later, she discovered that while interacting with patients in the office is exciting, her real passion is the business aspects of the practice. She oversees all the non-clinical aspects of the office including patient and insurance billing, payments, and personnel matters. Debbie loves her job because she is a numbers person who enjoys making sure everything is balanced.

Furthermore Debbie believes in volunteering her time and talents and participated in the 2014 and 2016 Alaska Mission of Mercy events in Anchorage. In 2002 Debbie volunteered to work as a dental assistant at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. It was a fabulous experience interacting with athletes and coaches from all over the world.
