Meet The Staff

Dr. Dwight Price – Dentist
Dwight Price has a very special interest in helping people feel good about themselves by improving their smiles.

Dr. Price graduated from Southern State University in 1969 and the University of Texas Dental School in 1973. He continued his training at The Pankey Institute for advanced dental education in Key Biscayne, Florida, where dentists learn to bridge the gap between what is known and what is practiced so that you, the patient, may have optimal oral health care.

He is a member of the Greater Houston Dental Society; both the Texas and American Dental Associations; the Houston, Texas and National Academies of General Dentistry and is past president of Houston Academy of General Dentistry.

Susan, Dr. Price’s wife, is a veterinarian with a special affinity for cats and horses. They have one daughter, Kristy, and one granddaughter, Chansey.

He loves to water ski, snow ski, hike and ride motorcycles on which he has taken several cross-country trips.

Dr. Joseph K. Bauscher – Associate Dentist
Dr. Bauscher graduated from the University of Texas Dental School in 1966 and went directly into the US Army where he worked as a Dental Intern until 1967.

He became a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry in 1981, a distinction he earned by completing more than 500 

credit hours of continuing education and passing a comprehensive examination. Only about 10 percent of all general dentists have earned an Academy Fellowship Award.

Along with practicing dentistry, Dr. Bauscher also enjoys both sailing and Bible study, but not necessarily at the same time.

Combined with his winning manner, Dr. Bauscher’s years of experience and dedication to continuing education make him an outstanding dentist with a loyal corps of patients.

Dr. Jennifer Pham – Associate Dentist
Dr. Pham’s main focus is helping children. She enjoys working with them to maintain a healthy and happy lifestyle – including that important smile. While you may not find her dancing around the office, she does enjoy ballet and ballroom dancing as rhythmic breaks to her physical fitness workouts. You’ll also hear her lovely voice singing in her church choir.

Dr. Pham is a graduate of the University of Texas Dental School and is fluent in English, Vietnamese and Spanish.

Sandy Wade – Office Manager
You won’t find any overloaded electrical sockets in Sandy’s house - She is married to a Houston Fire Department Captain. And when she’s not practicing fire safety, she is busy with her mini zoo. Sandy has a Himilayan cat named Tosha, three dogs, five horses and a donkey. Sandy also dotes on her two children and one granddaughter. She has a long list of hobbies including water skiing, snow skiing, hiking, horseback riding and Harley motorcycling as passenger with her husband.

Linda Burgner – Dental Hygienist
Linda graduated from the University of Oregon Dental School and is licensed to practice in Oregon, Arizona and Texas. She ranks motherhood (she has four children) and grandmotherhood as her most important accomplishments. When she’s not participating in her four grandkids’ activities, you can find Linda presiding over her church’s women’s organization, which has 1,100 members. She also likes spectator sports, running to keep in shape and travel, especially cruises.

Dawn Stuckey – Receptionist, Business Manager
Dawn is a graduate of Pensacola Junior College in Florida and has been working in dentistry for 25 years, the most recent 17 with Price Dental Associates.

Now that she calls Houston home, she enjoys spending time with her 17-year-old son. Her other outside-the-office pastimes are cooking, reading and going to the beach.

Renee Mitschke – Recall Secretary and Dental Assistant
Renee loves her job. Just ask her. She has been in the dental profession since 1973 and has enjoyed every year. Actually, she couldn’t see herself doing anything else because, in her own words, "I feel blessed to work in an environment where the latest products and equipment are always available – and most of all to have the most caring doctors that support my ideals in caring for our patients."

Bonnie Baiamonte – Chairside Dental Assistant
