Dr. Cate Quas
Pediatric Dentist & Orthodontist
“Helping people is both a privilege and a responsibility. Albert Schweitzer said, ‘My life is my argument.’ This is a saying I take to heart. For me to say I want to make a difference is one thing, but to live that way is an entirely different matter.”
Rosalie
Dental Therapist
“I have a diverse background in dentistry, from pediatrics to general practice, and even served as a lead hygienist. Now, I am thrilled to focus on what I love most—dental therapy! I am passionate about bridging the gap between dental hygienists and dentists, and I had the opportunity to participate in a pilot program that allows me to fully use my skills to help kids.”
Jill
Director of Operations
“I enjoy everything about Bluefish. We are there to help, and it is really nice to have relationships with entire families and watch the kids grow up.”
Jenna
Dental & Orthodontic Assistant
“I love working with kids because I love seeing things from their eyes. Children look at the world in a different way than adults, they have a passion for life, learning and imaginations as big as the sky. And I love the interactions I get to have with them.”
Kelsie
Dental & Orthodontic Assistant
I have lived on a ranch/farm in Central Oregon my whole life. I enjoy the outdoors; hunting, fishing and hiking. I also love to travel. My son is my world! Orthodontics is one of my passions. I am a firm believer that smiles can change everything and I absolutely love being a part of that for our patients!
Sarah
Dental & Orthodontic Assistant
I enjoy working with children and BlueFish is a good place to be.
Stephanie
Front Desk Team Member
“I love working with kids because they are the future!!!”
Jackie
Front Desk Team Member
What I love most about BlueFish is that everyone shares the same goals… all revolving around helping and caring for our patients.
JR
Office Manager
“The most important things to me aren’t things, but people. My relationships and how I show up in them are the most important to me.”
Heidi
Orthodontic Assistant
My name is Heidi. I moved to Bend the summer before I started 1st grade. I have been an orthodontic dental assistant since 1999. I have only ever assisted for the Quas family. Dr. Cate’s dad hired me while I was still in college. I love braces and love literally bringing smiles to people’s faces. It is life changing for a child or adult who doesn’t like to smile because of their teeth. I enjoy sewing, quilting, cricut, camping, fishing, and traveling to new places.
Katie
Front Desk Team Member
“Being a past patient of BlueFish, I feel very privileged that I get to help parents and kids realize that the Dental office isn’t such a scary place! “
Dalila
Dental & Orthodontic Assistant
“I love being able to work with children and teach them how to take care of their beautiful smiles. Did you know that tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body. Not even your leg bones are stronger!”
Shelby
Front Desk Team Member
“Our patients are amazing and I love helping parents and children with their smiles. The kids always put a smile on our faces. They have the best stories, and also I love seeing their confidence rise when we complete orthodontics on them.”
Birdie
Therapy Dog
“I love the humans. Especially the little ones. Snuggling them makes my tail go fast. I do my best to give them loves when the doctors look at their teeth. I use my teeth to eat snacks. I love snacks. But mostly I love kids.”
Jamasa
Dental Hygienist
“My favorite thing about working for BlueFish is the focus on prevention and education. The majority of the appointment is about helping the parents learn how to better take care of their children’s teeth and teaching them how cavities are formed. This is not an office that just “drills & fills.” The team genuinely cares about the patients’ well-being.”
Rachel
Dental Assistant
I absolutely love working with kids! My journey started in a church nursery and I have continued to work with kids ever since, whether it was volunteering in a preschool or at an elementary school. I initially pursued elementary education, but during COVID, I realized I wanted to make a bigger impact in healthcare for children. I am passionate about getting kids excited about their health and helping them overcome their fears. Witnessing their growth and newfound confidence is incredibly rewarding!
I am also pursuing a career in nursing and working on my pre-requisites for a pediatric nursing program. Whatever I do on the floor, I find it so fulfilling. I am excited about what the future holds!”
