Office Manager

Ashley brings over 11 years of experience in health care and leadership to her role as office manager. She spent more than a decade advancing her career as a Physician Assistant before choosing to step back from clinical practice to help Dr. Koelker grow his practice—a mission she is truly passionate about.
Ashley earned her Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, where she met Dr. Koelker, her husband, while he was in dental school. In 2014, she moved to Allen, Dr. Koelker’s hometown, and it’s a community she’s come to love. Together, they have three children: Blakely, Beckham, and Blaire.
Outside of work, Ashley enjoys coaching her daughter’s volleyball team, attending her son’s baseball games as team mom, exercising, and cherishing time with her family, which she describes as her greatest joy.

Patsy

Registered Dental Assistant

Patsy joins our team with over 13 years of experience as a Registered Dental Assistant. For the past decade, she and Dr. Koelker have worked closely as a dedicated duo, and she’s happy to be continuing that partnership at our practice. Patsy has a wealth of experience in everything from general dentistry to oral surgery and cosmetic procedures, and she is also highly skilled in assisting with IV conscious sedation. Her favorite part of the job is making sure every patient feels relaxed and truly comfortable from the moment they sit in her chair.
When she’s not at the office, Patsy is usually hanging out with her husband and their two “dog children,” Artie and Kuro. She and her husband are big foodies—when they’re in town, you can usually find them out and about trying to track down the best new dinner spots. Patsy also loves heading to Mexico whenever she can, whether she’s visiting family in Mexico City or just catching some sun on the coast. She is so excited to be here and can’t wait to welcome both familiar faces and new patients to the office!

Comprehensive Dentistry - All in One Place

Koelker Dental is designed to function as a true one-stop dental practice. By offering both general and surgical dentistry services in-house, we are able to streamline care and reduce the stress that often comes with external referrals. Patients benefit from fewer appointments, consistent communication, and treatment plans managed entirely by a dentist they know and trust.

Whether a patient needs routine preventive care, restorative dentistry, or more advanced procedures, our focus remains the same: high standards, thoughtful planning, and patient comfort at every step.

Patient-Focused Care and a Comfortable Experience

We believe great dentistry goes beyond clinical skill. At Koelker Dental, we prioritize clear communication, individualized treatment planning, and a calm, supportive environment. For patients who experience dental anxiety, our advanced sedation options allow care to be completed safely and comfortably, often with little to no memory of the procedure.

As we prepare to open our doors in Spring 2026, Koelker Dental looks forward to building long-term relationships with patients and families throughout Allen and the surrounding communities.
