Ancka (Anne) Ziolkowski
Hi, I'm Anne (Ancka) and I've been here at the Ziolkowski Dental for 19 years! I came to the office many years ago from working at Marquette University School of Dentistry. I began at the office as an accounts receivable manager and was promoted to office manager. After several years "love blossomed" and I became Mrs. Ziolkowski and shortly thereafter became a mother. Since that time I stepped down as office manager and continue to work part-time as Maria's right-hand woman.
During that span of time many changes have occurred at the office but several things remain constant. We have a wonderful core of patients who have been part of our lives. Many patients have grown up here and are now bringing their new families to our office. My God, they certainly grow up quickly! Secondly, we seem to be fortunate to have a great staff to take care of all those wonderful people. It's a pleasure to work with such a group. Last but not least, is Keith. Not many people can enjoy working with their spouse but I love it and it really does work for us.
When I' m not at the office I'm a busy mom. Blake is our 13 year old son who is extremely creative and talented. Our 10 year old daughter, Remy is wise far beyond her years. When we are able to, our family enjoys traveling.
Maria - Office Manager
I began my management career at Discovery World Museum and then in 2000 switched to dentistry. I graduated Cardinal Stritch University in 2001 with a degree in Theatre Management. One week after graduation I married my husband Jeff. We have two sweet little girls, and a few animals. Our first daughter is 9 years old. She loves the arts and swimming. Our second daughter is 6 years old and loves ballet, sports, and race cars. We also have a rescued lab and a crazy cat. I love spending time with my family, going to the theatre, and supporting Girl Scouts. So as you can see Dentistry fits my life much better than theatre. And quite frankly I love it here!
Dana, RDH - Hygienist
I have been a hygienist for eight years. I began my career in a periodontal office, which specializes in gum disease. In July of 2006 I had the pleasure of joining Ziolkowski Dental. It is great to spend my days working with such a kind and caring staff. My true joy comes from interacting with patients and providing the best oral healthcare. I also feel that it is very important to stay up-to-date with current technology and education. I try to attend at least three continuing education courses each year.
When I am not at work I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. My 15 year old son, Jaden loves to ATV and snowboard. I also enjoy my dog, Roan and relaxing with a good book.
Cindy, RDH - Hygienist
I graduated from the Univerrsity of Minnesota in 1979, and have been practicing hygiene for 28 years, (since I was 12 years old!). Some of those years where part-time as I was raising 4 boys. I have been married to my husband, Dan for 29 years. When we are not working we enjoy riding our Harley. I also enjoy reading, walking (with or without my dogs), swimming, and country music.
Eileen, RDH - Hygienist
I have worked for Dr. Ziolkowski for 10 years and have been in dentistry for 30 years altogether. I started my career as a dental assistant for 19 of those 30 years. I graduated from MATC and Marquette University (Go Warriors!) with an Associate's and a Bachelor's degree in Dental Hygiene. I am currently going to school (again) for Respiratory Therapy and I am anxiously awaiting graduation in May. I used to work in the travel industry. I LOVE to travel and can't wait to rack up those FF miles again. I have a beautiful cat, Meggie, who is the latest addition in my life. I guess I could say my hobbies are going to school (Ha!). I enjoy most sports and look forward to summer Brewer games. I love concerts and I won't try to count how many times I have seen Bon Jovi!
Our office is very relaxed. A sense of humor is a must for staff and patients alike. Most of our patients are like family and I always look forward to catching up with everyone every 6 months.....don't worry, I get your teeth cleaned too!
Sara - Dental Assistant
I actually started as a Dental Assistant back in 2001, which led me to WCTC where I earned my Dental Assisting Diploma in 2003. While working as an Assistant for a few dentists I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Communications with a concentration in Marketing in 2009. Since then, I have worked in sales. I soon realized after being away from dentistry that I missed it, so I joined the Ziolkowski Dental team in 2011. What I like most about being a Dental Assistant is knowing that I'm contributing to the better overall health of people.
When I'm not at the office you will usually find me doing something outdoors. I love to bike, play volleyball, hike and camp at various parks. I also enjoy a wide variety of music and attend serveral concerts throughout the year. I share my adventures with my wonderful husband of 2 years, Tom.
