Dr. Karmy

“I believe everyone deserves access to quality dentistry, and decisions regarding dental care should be made based on treatment needs identified by patients and their dentists, not insurance companies. I am perpetually involved in continuing education and believe dentistry to be a lifetime of learning. I am residency trained and board certified in anesthesia for dentistry, and have dedicated many years to providing care to our most fragile populations. I will continue to reserve a significant portion of my clinic time for serving children. My staff and I are highly experienced in providing treatment in sedation and anesthesia environments. Speaking of staff, you will find the majority of our staff members have been with us for a decade or more. We are like family, and I encourage you to come meet us. I’m excited to expand our practice to a comprehensive family dental practice.
I hold dental licenses and general anesthesia permits in Washington and Oregon. I’m certified in BLS, ACLS, and PALS. Our office has a sedation suite with a level one medical gas system, complete with backup generator. This high level of redundancy enables us to provide our treatments in the safest of office based environments.
When I’m not in the clinic or attending continuing education, I enjoy camping and fishing the Northwest, aviation, and constructing radio controlled models with my son Vincent.”

Schedule Coordinator/Front Desk Receptionist
“I have worked with Dr. Karmy and Dr. Ramsey as a schedule coordinator/front desk receptionist since 2006. I am usually the first person you see when you enter the office, and I enjoy greeting the families we serve.”
I was born in Mexico and moved with my family to Touchet at the age of two. I have lived in Touchet all of my life and married my high school sweetheart, Henry. Together we have four boys, Luis, Dominic, Jahdiel, and Zander. I enjoy spending quality time with my family as much as possible, which includes supporting my sons and husband at their many sporting events.”

Dental Assistant

Dental Hygienist
“Hi, I’m Merrylou and I am a Dental Hygienist here at Wheatland Family Dental. I was born and raised here in Walla Walla. While growing up I enjoyed both swimming and golfing competitively. I spent my summers on the golf course and in the pool practicing as well as lifeguarding and teaching swimming lessons. After high school graduation I attended the Walla Walla Community college where I played on the golf team and received my Associates of Arts Degree. I then moved to Eastern Oregon University finishing up my prerequisites for dental hygiene school. I received my Associates of Dental Hygiene Degree while attending the ODS College of Dental Sciences in La Grande, OR in 2008. I then finished my online Bachelors of Dental Hygiene in Business from the Oregon Institute of Technology. My interest in the dental field started when I was a young girl and constantly in the dental chair having work done. I was always so curious as to what they were doing. My mom worked various jobs in a dental office as well so I spent a great deal of time as a child at the office. I have been very happy picking a career as a Dental Hygienist.”

Dental Assistant
“Hello, my name is Nora Arceo and I am a registered dental assistant born and raised here in Walla Walla. I’m a reliable and detail orientated person and I am very committed to the work I do. The first time I came to Wheatland family dental I was a patient myself. I had a very lovely experience that motivated me to go back to school and become a dental assistant.”
