About Our Staff

Marsha Jones

 Marsha became interested in the field of dentistry and dental hygiene through the influence of her childhood orthodontist.  She began her career with a part-time dental assisting position when she started college.  She subsequently attended the University of Missouri – Kansas City School of Dentistry, graduating in 1976 with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene.

Marsha has previous experience in the specialty area of periodontics and has enjoyed, and appreciates, the knowledge she has gained from Dr. Gatti in the area of restorative and esthetic dentistry.  She joined Dr. Gatti's practice in 1999.

 In her leisure time, Marsha enjoys reading, running and activities with family and friends.  She and her husband, David, are proud of their two children, Kristen and Greg, and their son-in-law, Jarrod.  Grandchildren, Treven and Kendel, bring true joy and pleasure to her life!

 "I love what I do and the people with whom I work.  It is fun to be in a caring environment that supports and encourages life-long learning and personal success and development.  This allows me the opportunity to serve our clients in the best manner possible."

Mona Groene

 Mona and her husband Randy reside in Ottawa, Kansas.  They are the proud parents of three grown children; Jason and his wife Kelly, Aimee and her husband Nathan, and their youngest son Grant.

In her spare time Mona enjoys walking, antiques, cooking sewing and any activity that involves her large extended family.  The Groenes are confirmed home remodelers, always planning the next project.

"I have been a dental assistant for over 30 years.  I have always been fortunate enough to work with dentists that provide their clients with exceptional dentistry.  Dr. Gatti, Marsha and Amy are not only great people with whom to spend my day, they are, in my opinion, some of the most talented dental professionals with whom I have ever had the privilege of being associated.  The care they provide for their clients is absolutely wonderful and I am thrilled to be a part of the Gatti team.  It is so much fun to be a part of all the great smiles that are created within the walls of this Dental Studio"

Amy Franklin

 A life long resident of Lawrence, Amy graduated from Lawrence High School. In 2003 she received her dental hygiene degree from Johnson County Community College and has continued practicing dental hygiene since her graduation. In searching for ways to make dentistry and dental cleanings more relaxing and enjoyable for her clients she became involved with Oraspa. In 2008 she obtained certification in the Oraspa program and joined a select group of only 100 dental professionals nationwide to be certified. She is the only certified professional in Kansas. This has enabled her to offer a unique and calming dental experience for her clients.

 Amy is married and has three children. In her spare time she enjoys yoga, gardening, boating, home projects and hanging out with her family.

 "I am honored to be a member of Dr. Gatti's team. The Advanced Dental Studio has a stellar reputation of providing comfort and the best in class service for their clients. The team goes above and beyond what I have experienced in the past to assure that each client is treated like family. My personal mission is to give my clients a smile they are excited to share every day."
