My name is Debby Coffey, I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and moved to Grass Valley, California when I was 6 years old. I graduated from Nevada Union High School. After graduation I attended Sac City College and Sierra College. After starting a family, I worked in the electronic industry for Grass Valley Group and Eigen Video. Having three small children I chose to work in the dental industry. I worked for Dr. Wayne Hood and Dr. Craig Zelenka, which turned out to be a lifelong career. After Dr. Hood and Dr. Zelenka retired and sold the practice to Dr. Dana Gawley and Dr. Jeff Gawley I was lucky to continue in the practice as office manager. I now have the pleasure to be working for Dr. Joseph Miller. It is with great enthusiasm to work in my third transition in this practice with our wonderful staff and great patients.

Deanne

Deanne, RDH

My name is Deanne Guilloz, and I am a dedicated and experienced Registered Dental Hygienist with a strong commitment to promoting oral health and enhancing patient experiences. I was born in Redwood City and raised in the dynamic environment of Silicon Valley, specifically in San Jose.

I began my career in dentistry by obtaining my Dental Assisting certificate from San Jose City College, where I was fortunate to secure a position with the dentist I interned with. This experience inspired me to pursue further education, leading me to attend De Anza College while working full-time. After four years of diligence, I was accepted into the Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT), where I graduated in 1991.

Since relocating to Nevada County in 2000, I have devoted my career to providing exceptional dental care. I take pride in my ability to build meaningful relationships with my patients, many of whom I consider part of my extended family.

Outside of my professional life, I am a proud mother of two grown children, Michael and Kristina, with my son currently serving in the Coast Guard. I also share my home with two affectionate cats, Nitro and Shabby, who bring joy and companionship to my daily life.

In my leisure time, I enjoy engaging in home improvement projects and have a passion for motorsports. I own a late-model stock car that has previously raced at Madera and Roseville; while it is currently retired from the track, I aspire to bring it back one day as a spotter rather than a driver.

I am excited to be part of a modern dental practice that embraces innovative technology and techniques. My enthusiasm for dental hygiene has been rekindled through access to advanced equipment, allowing me to provide the highest quality care to my patients. I look forward to welcoming you to Pine Hills Dentistry and supporting your journey toward optimal oral health.
