In 2007 Mary and Ray Valgardson joined their lives and large families when they married and moved to Utah to begin a new life together. In addition to bringing the kids and belongings, Mary brought with her 15 years of experience in Dental Office Management. Starting in 1992, Mary worked for a dentist in California. Her expertise in insurance coding garnered her an invitation by a local business college to teach some courses. Working out her schedule with the dental office, Mary was able to teach insurance coding and medical office practices for a number of years, passing along her knowledge to benefit other medical and dental offices, all while still working for a dentist.
With a resume this good, you can see why Dr. Blake Matthews was glad to hire Mary in 2007 after her move to Utah.
Together, Mary and Ray have 11 children and currently have 17 grandchildren. They love to do lots of things outdoors including driving on scenic byways, taking their camper to the mountains and boating at Lake Powell. They are also die-hard Cougar fans with Mary especially enjoying BYU Basketball.Mary also loves tablescaping (creating beautiful table settings) and has past experience with event planning where she put together events of all kinds, although she specialized in weddings.
Mary does an amazing job at MatthewsSmiles. I have personally appreciated that before any procedure, she gives me a run-down on the costs, an estimate of what my insurance might pay and a print out with all of that information.
She has been fantastic to work with on the financial side and is always willing to patiently explain things I don't understand. Mary is an important part of the MatthewsSmiles team and appreciated by Dr. Matthews patients.
