Christine Watt

Office Administrator

I was raised near Innerkip and moved to Woodstock when I married my husband Phil. I graduated 1984 as a Certified Dental Assistant and am a member of the Ontario Dental Assistants Association. I started working for Dr. Corlett in 1984 as his assistant and then moved to the position of office administrator. Dr. Lail took over the practice from Dr. Corlett in 1999, and I remained with the practice. To continue my education, I am currently taking a course in dental practice management.

Aside from my work in dentistry, I devote my spare time as a taxi for my two children Shawn and Jacquie. My other interests are volleyball, golf, and being involved in my children's activities.

Cassie Matheson

Registered Dental Hygienist

In 2013, I had the amazing opportunity to complete a high school co-op placement at Dr. Lail’s office where I saw first-hand a great team of staff working together to create a very relaxed and professional atmosphere. This was the beginning of my career path and led me to where I am today.

In 2014, I graduated with honours as a Certified Dental Assistant from Fanshawe College and choose to continue my education in the Dental Hygiene program. I have recently graduated from this program with Honours and really look forward to beginning my career with Dr.Lail and Associates and joining this team of great professionals.

I feel very fortunate to be born and raised in the rural community of Embro where I recently became a

"mom" to my very sassy puppy Stella! Now that I have a puppy, most of my spare time is spent with her; however, I also enjoy working out at the gym, hiking and look forward to trying out my new kayak!

Although new to the field, she enjoys every moment of being a hygienist and is so lucky to work with such an amazing team. In her free time, Kendra enjoys spending time with her family, friends and two cats Fluffy and Millie.
