Emily began working with Dr Backer in February of 2007 as a dental assistant, in 2011 she made the transition to working as a front office coordinator to allow a more flexible schedule.  She is happily married to Brandyn and together they have a blended family that includes 6 kids, all of whom are very busy and active. When they can they love to travel but most weekends and evenings she will be found throughout Oregon watching her kids play soccer, basketball and track. Born and raised in Cottage Grove she continues to be a familiar face. 

Brittany first worked for Dr. Backer as a dental assistant after graduating from the LCC Dental Assisting program in 2005. She took a break to stay home with her kids and just recently returned to work for Dr. Backer at his Eugene office. She and her husband, Jeff, have lived in Coburg for thirteen years and have three sons. If Brittany isn't in the office or driving her kids to practice she's probably out in her garden. She's a proud 'Crazy Chicken Lady' but also enjoys her ducks, dog, and three cats. 

Letty graduated from the LCC Dental Hygiene program in 1999 and has been working for Dr. Backer since 2005. She and her husband, Gary, have six grown sons, five daughters-in-law, and ten grandchildren. Her passion is spending time with her family on their McKenzie River property. Their home is the hub for many family gatherings and with a family that big there is always a reason to gather! In the summer they enjoy fishing for Steelhead, Salmon, and Trout from their drift boat and kayaking on the McKenzie. 

Terra started working for Dr. Backer in December 2013. She received her Dental Hygiene Degree from Lane Community College in 1997. Terra has lived most of her life in Lane County and is a 4th generation 'Grover'. She lives in Cottage Grove with her son, daughter, and husband, Herman. She and her husband are passionate about supporting children and have fostered many kids throughout the past ten years. When she's not cleaning teeth you can find her getting creative and crafty or spending time with her family. 

Lisette graduated from the LCC dental assisting program in 2020 and joined the Backer dental team after interning at our office. She’s wanted to be in the dental field since she was in 5th grade! Lisette was born and raised in Cottage Grove and enjoys hiking, running, going to the coast, and spending time with her family. She and her boyfriend, Alan, recently adopted their adorable fur baby, a black lab named Dixie! Lisette’s energy and smile are contagious-we love having her with us!
