Tara Bishop
Hi I’m Tara! I am a dental hygienist at Chiu Dental with over 10 years of experience. I thoroughly enjoy working in dentistry, helping people improve and maintain their oral health. Getting to know new people and building relationships is the best part of my job! Outside the clinic, my husband and I enjoy the outdoors and travel, and most weekends we are either catching a quick trip away or camping around the province.

Maddy Dodaro
Hi, I’m Maddy! I am a dental hygienist at Chiu Dental and have been working in dentistry for three years. I love educating patients about good oral hygiene and how it directly impacts their overall health. Forming connections with my patients is a perk of the job! In my spare time, you can find me listening to music and finding something to organize!

Monica Maran
Hi, I’m Monica! I am a dental assistant at Chiu Dental and have been in dentistry for over 40 years! I was trained and worked as a dentist back home in Romania and came to raise my family here in Kitchener in 1992. I assisted Dr. Gregory Fichter for over 25 years before Dr. Chiu took over his practice. I love dentistry and enjoy learning about new procedures and materials. My greatest joy is the connections I form with our patients and the care and comfort I am able to bring while they are in the dental chair. When I am not working, you can find me at home voraciously reading suspense novels or in the kitchen cooking up a storm and trying out new recipes.

Kellie Walsh
Hi, I’m Kellie! I am in reception at Chiu Dental and have been assisting patients with their dental care needs for over years, with experience in chairside assisting and receptionist roles. At Chiu Dental, I help schedule patients and work with them on any dental insurance questions they may have. I enjoy getting to know our patients and helping in any way I can! I have three beautiful daughters, and when I am not working you can find me in my garden—summer months only, of course; I will be hibernating in the winter! I look forward to working for many years to come with Dr. Chiu and our awesome team!

I love greeting patients with a friendly hello and a smile when they arrive for their appointments.
