My love for dentistry developed as a child, thanks to an amazing dentist I had growing up in Argentina. I moved to the US from Argentina when I was 15 years old. After assisting for two years, I decided to go back to school and become a dental hygienist. I graduated from Austin Community College and have loved every minute of my job. My goal is to help my patients with their dental needs and improve their overall health. I want them to know I care and will do my best to make them feel comfortable.
Christina was born on 38th street in Austin, Texas, making her a true Austinite. Christina is happily married and is the proud parent of 2 beautiful daughters. She received her Registered Dental Hygiene Degree from Austin Community College. She states that since she graduated, “I have been doing what I love; my goal as a dental hygienist is to advocate and inform my patients of their dental needs so we as a team can improve their oral health, thus improving their general health. I love to add a little personal touch to every appointment by truly getting to know my patients. I want to provide the best and most thorough care in a relaxed, caring environment.”
Ellie has been a dedicated employee since 2008. She has a knack for numbers and organization which is why she works behind the scenes as our accounts specialist. Ellie is trilingual, speaking English, Spanish, and the Ecuadorian indigenous language of Quichua. She dedicates her free time doing volunteer work for the Quichua speaking community. Since she is a world traveler, and currently resides in NY, we are blessed to have Ellie in the office only for a few weeks each year.
Lacy has been with Tucker Family Dentistry since it opened it’s doors in 2007. She is a dental assistant and enjoys working with all kinds of patients. She is very good with the kids! She can enter a room with a child who is uncomfortable and, by the time she leaves the room, the child wants to come back to the dentist. When Lacy is not at work she is hanging out with her family, teaching kids at church, and meeting new folks in Austin. You will usually see Lacy smiling around the office—smile back.
Hi! I was born and raised in the Austin area. In fact, Dr. Tucker is the only dentist I’ve ever seen! I understand what it is like having anxiety, and I want to help others feel at ease and welcomed when they come into our dental office. You’ll find me at the front desk most days since I enjoy helping patients with appointments and insurance questions. I’m a Registered Dental Assistant and fluent in American Sign Language. Outside the office I enjoy riding my motorcycle and collecting miniatures!
