Meet the Staff
DR. NATALIE MARTINEZ-ROGERS
Dr. Natalie Martinez-Rogers achieved her undergraduate degree at Cornell University in upstate New York and enrolled in the Harvard School of Dental Medicine immediately after, graduating in 2008. She practiced for 7 years throughout Massachusetts and Charlotte before deciding to branch out on her own.
She opened her first office in the University area of Charlotte in 2014 and her second in Villa Heights (her home neighborhood) in 2018. This was driven by her desire to practice dentistry with 100% of the focus on patient care, which is a consistent trait in everyone she hires onto the team.
As a first generation American, born to Cuban immigrants, she is proud that her philosophy of hiring the most qualified applicants has resulted in an ethnically and culturally diverse team that properly represents America today.
After a short sabbatical, Dr. Martinez-Rogers is thrilled to be back in the office, getting reacquainted with her long term patients and providing the high quality care she has always prided herself on.
You can often find Dr Martinez-Rogers in the greater NoDa area with her husband of over 15 years, their two children and their 3 rescued dogs.
BRITTANY, DENTAL HYGIENIST
Brittany's interest in dentistry began when she was twelve years old, leading her to move to Charlotte nearly seven years ago for hygiene school. She completed her program at Central Piedmont Community College in 2010, immediately going to work. She joined Stellar Dental in November 201.
Brittany grew up in Ellenboro, NC with her four younger brothers. She recently purchased her first home in Concord, which she shares with her Maltese dog, Bitsy. She looks forward to continuing to treat her current patients, and also having the opportunity to meet new ones!
BOBBIE, DENTAL HYGIENIST
Bobbie grew up in Goldsboro, North Carolina. She moved to Charlotte in 1995 where she continues to enjoy all that this beautiful city has to offer! Bobbie is happily married to her amazing hubby Adam. She enjoys attending all kinds of sporting events and theater. One of Bobbie’s favorite things is shelling on the beach with her 2 best palls - her sister and her nephew.
Bobbie graduated from the Dental Hygiene Program at The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill with a concentration in Periodontics. During her academic career, she was on the Dean’s List and was inducted into the Xi Chapter of Sigma Phi Alpha, The National Dental Hygiene Honor Society.
When Bobbie is working at Stellar Dental, she strives to have her patients feel comfortable and welcome. Bobbie loves taking care of people and working with them to achieve their optimal dental health.
EMILY, LEAD DENTAL ASSISTANT
Emily was born in upstate New York and moved to Huntersville as a child. She attended the DA Academy of NC and graduated in 2021. Shortly after graduation, she luckily found Stellar Dental. Emily developed a love for dentistry at a young age as she was drawn to the warmness and openness of peoples’ smiles. She decided to pursue a career in dentistry to help influence her patients' confidence and general health. She hopes to one day further her passion for dentistry and become a Dental Hygienist.
In her free time Emily loves spending time outdoors, being with family and friends, discovering and trying new foods, and traveling.
TAMESHA, DENTAL ASSISTANT
Tamesha came to the Charlotte region when she was 8 years old. She has 2 children - a boy and a girl who she lovingly calls her "little sunshines".
Tamesha received her associates degree from RCCC then continued her educational pursuits in Dental Assisting school in 2017. She is a well traveled dental assistant, having supported pediatric, emergency, and perio clinics before settling into her long-term home here at Stellar Dental.
In her free time, Tamesha enjoys asian food and reading, but she really comes alive when talking about her travels! She'll visit anywhere with spicy food and a spicier dance floor!
NIESJE, OFFICE & BUSINESS MANAGER
If you have been to our practice, it is unlikely you have missed Niesje's smiling face or her laughter. The youngest of 16 kids, Niesje was born under the northern lights of Fairbanks, Alaska. Sick of the 10.5 months of winter each year, her family moved to Richmond, VA and later to Raleigh, North Carolina.
Niesje has since settled into Charlotte where she lives with her husband, two children, and younger sister. She joined our team as a receptionist before completing dental assisting school in November 2018. Though she enjoys putting her knowledge to use functioning as an assistant, she gets more pleasure greeting our patients up front. Her goals are always to leave our patients feeling cared for and comfortable.
