Front Office
Sonja
Practice Manager
As Practice Manager of Dicus Family Dentistry, not only do I oversee daily operations of our practice, I am also dedicated to creating a warm, organized, and patient-focused experience. I work behind the scenes to support our team and ensure every visit reflects the values of care, trust, and excellence that define Dicus Family Dentistry.
I am married and together we have four children. The two oldest boys are my bonus kids with my husband. The two younger kids Scott and Kylie aren't so young anymore either. Scott is serving in the Army National Guard as well as a full-time student at UNR. Kylie recently graduated from high school and plans to attend UNR in the fall as well. It will be an adjustment not having her sporting and musical events to regularly attend, but I am looking forward to what this next chapter has in store for our family. We have three dogs — Teddy, Layla, and Copper — who are the perfect additions to round out our beautiful blended family.
Jacquere
Front Office Administration
I’m from a small town, Hawthorne, and have been in Reno since I graduated high school in 2005. I’ve worked in the dental field since 2007. I was an assistant for 13 years and then made the transition to front office. The part I enjoy most about my job is interacting with our patients and making their experience as easy and stress-free as possible.
I’m a homebody and enjoy movies, music, concerts, and trying new restaurants. I love spending time with my friends and my fur babies, Tiny and Bella.

Dental Hygienists
Brooke
Registered Dental Hygienist
I am a registerd dental hygienist and have worked with Dr. Dicus for over 10 years. I perform all aspects of dental hygiene, including cleaning our patients’ teeth, scaling and root planing, sealants, and patient education. I love helping my patients achieve an optimum state of oral health through my treatment and educating them.
I also enjoy the relationships with the other girls that work here and, of course, I love working with Dr. Dicus. We all get along so well with each other and all work great as a team. Our patients are cared for in an excellent manner, starting with the very first phone call.
I am a proud Northern Nevadan, born and raised. I am an avid skier and snowboarder; also love fishing, camping at the lakes and sand dunes, and riding anything out in the desert as long as it’s FAST!
Virginia
Registered Dental Hygienist
My role as a dental hygienist is twofold. First, my goal is to help people enjoy their “dreaded” dental visits while providing a thorough cleaning. Just as important is the education I provide to patients regarding their oral health and how it can affect their overall health. One of the best parts of my job is the group of people I work with — we all have fun at work and love laughing together. They are very accepting of me and my shenanigans!
I am a wife and mother of five who loves to laugh! I also do personal training and love educating people on the benefits of essential oils.
Missy
Dental Hygienist
I started my career in 2015 as a dental assistant before continuing my education and receiving a BS in dental hygiene from TMCC. After working in pediatric dentistry for seven years, I joined Dicus Family Dentistry! I love chatting and getting to know all of our patients and helping them achieve a better understanding of not only their oral health, but also their overall general health. I have so much fun at my job and wake up every day excited to go to work!
Outside of cleaning teeth, I love spending the weekend riding one of my Harleys and exploring new places, especially trying all the food! I was born and raised in Reno, but love to find new adventures. At home, my husband and I have three adorable dogs: Oso, Sade, and Capone. They keep us busy! I also enjoy doing all kinds of crafting, such as sewing and cross-stitch, and my most favorite hobby is taking long walks to the refrigerator.

Brenda
Dental Assistant
I love learning about each patient’s life. I find I learn a lot from our exchanges, and in the process, we develop strong relationships. Seeing people come back for their visits allows us to renew and strengthen those bonds. I assist the doctor as he cares for patients. I make sure he has everything needed, while seeing that our patient is comfortable. I spend a lot of time talking with patients about dental health, how it affects their body, and why Dr. Dicus recommends certain treatments.
I’m a caregiver, here at the office and at home. From babies in the nursery at my church to my 90+ year-old mother, I have a wide range of experience in caring for people’s unique needs.
