Meet The Team

Hilary Thompson

Registered Dental Hygienist

As a hygienist at Parkway Dental, I focus on providing the highest quality of care for all my patients. I believe in greeting you with a friendly smile in a welcoming environment and a safe space.

Calming dental fears and getting to know you on a personal basis is a core value at Parkway Dental. I am here to learn your dental history, listen to your concerns, and make a plan for your dental health. Touched by our patients’ many stories, jokes, adventures, and antics, I love the relationships I have been able to develop with my patients, many of whom I consider friends.

A little about me, I grew up in rural Nebraska on a sheep farm and graduated from the University of South Dakota with a dental hygiene degree in 2008. After graduation, my husband and I moved to St. George to raise our family. We have one son, two daughters, and one grandson. I love getting to coach and watch my girls play volleyball. I enjoy lifting weights (one thing I can beat Dr. Purser at), swimming, boating with my friends and family, and social outings.

Rebecca

Financial Coordinator

With 13 years of dental experience under my belt, six of them being at Parkway Dental, I have loved growing in this wonderful field every year. As your dental financial coordinator, I am adept at navigating the complexities of insurance, financial planning, and payment options. I do my absolute best to craft customized financial plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs and circumstances.

Whether it’s maximizing insurance benefits, exploring flexible payment arrangements, or assisting with financial options, I am committed to finding solutions that will help you achieve the smile you have always wanted. When I am not crunching numbers, you will find me at home with my family being a mother, loving to craft, or out in the water splashing around.

Miha Silva

Hygiene Assistant

As a hygiene assistant, my goal is to help the flow throughout the office. I strive to create a positive energy within our team and when greeting patients. Getting to hear the many stories and fun facts when talking to patients always makes my day. I love getting to be a part of a team that can trust and depend on me to be there when they need me.

I feel so lucky to say I have grown up here in beautiful St. George. I am very excited to further my education here at Utah Tech. I had the opportunity to serve as a captain on the Desert Hills cheer team during my last season. Being a part of that team taught me many life lessons that have helped me grow in this practice.

Kahala

Dental Assistant

Alooooha! My name is Kahala, I am a dental assistant here at Parkway, and after being in the dental field for over 12 years in SGU, I can honestly say I’ve found my home. I am originally from Maui, Hawai’i, and decided to plant some roots of my own here in St. George with my husband, Jarrin.

My favorite part about being in the dental field is meeting our patients, learning about their life stories, giving great patient care, and staying up to date with the latest dental technology. After being on the other side of dental care growing up, my main goal is to make every patient feel like family by the end of their appointment. I enjoy spending quality time with my dog, Iceman, traveling with friends and family, painting, and reading a good book. If you want to talk about life, dogs, college sports, and more, I'm your girl!
