Linda was born in Atchison, Kansas and has one younger brother. At the age of two, her family relocated to Dodge City, Kansas where she lived until 1979. She attended Johnson County Community College Dental Hygiene School and graduated in 1981. Before she earned her degree in dental hygiene, she was employed in an orthodontic practice for six years where she worked both the front office and assisting positions.
She has been married to her husband for 30 years and has two children, Drew, 24 years old and Deirdre, age 22. They both graduated from the School of Engineering at the University of Kansas. Linda enjoys traveling, gardening and going to estate sales looking for treasures. She has been with Dr. Gordon’s practice since January 2008.
Dot Barber
I joined our dental team in 1988 after moving from Long Island, New York. I feel fortunate to be in the dental profession which has given me the opportunity to meet and work with some of the most wonderful people. I enjoy helping our patients with scheduling appointments, treatments and questions, insurance matters, and financial arrangements.
My husband, Ed, and I have two daughters and two grandchildren with whom we enjoy sharing Sunday dinners. We are great at cheering for grandkids at their basketball and softball games! In the warmer weather, you can bet we will be out on a lake boating and fishing. One of our favorite places to visit is Beaver Lake, AR where we have fun fishing for Stripers. Our other passion is gardening which is both relaxing and rewarding.
Sheila Poterbin
I was born in Dallas, Texas, and moved to Wichita when I was young. At age sixteen I moved to the Kansas City area. I have been in dentistry since graduating from the Kansas City College of Medical and Dental Assisting in 1984.
I have four wonderful kids and six grandkids. They are the love of my life. I enjoy working outdoors in my garden and watching my grandkids in their sports. I really love being in dentistry and making sure our patients have the best experience they can.
