Meet the Team

Dr. Tera Groff
DENTIST
I grew up in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, and attended dental school in Saskatoon, graduating in 2001. I spent the first 10 years of my career working in St. Albert, Alberta, before moving to Vancouver Island in 2011 where I have continued to practice ever since. I have been working in the Sooke community for 12 years and counting! This is home, and where I raise my two children with my husband David.
I am honest and loyal and have the best interests of my patients at heart. I love being able to build relationships with my patients that grow with every visit. In all of my years of practice, I have found that finding a place in the community with the right team creates an amazing environment with so many wonderful opportunities. I am thrilled to open my own practice in a town that I love and look forward to seeing familiar as well as new faces (and smiles) come through the door.

Sarah Bohn
CERTIFIED DENTAL ASSISTANT
I was born and raised right here in Sooke ,BC. Dr Groff and I have been working together for 10+ years. I take immense pride in my work and really enjoy what I do. When I am not in the office, you can find me spending time with my husband and our very sweet but needy Australian Shepherd, Henry. We like to stay close to home and go on adventures to explore different parts of the island. When the weather is warm we love being on the ocean paddleboarding.

I am a relatively new resident of Sooke, moving to the community in 2021. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to find a great team to work with and I bring 20+ years of dental experience to my role. In my spare time I enjoy cooking, reading and cats.

I was born and raised on Vancouver Island and have called Colwood and East Sooke my home for the past 20 years. I've been an RDH for 10 years and have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the community of Sooke. I enjoy fishing, hiking and whale watching around southern Vancouver Island. -
Lindsay Maxwell
HYGIENIST
I’ve lived in Sooke for over 30 years and am now raising my two boys here. I started my dental career in 2006 graduating from Dental Hygiene in 2011. My caring demeanor and attention to detail with a gentle touch shows my passion for the job. I enjoy camping and exploring beaches with my boys and spending time with friends and family in this beautiful town.

Jessica Lemke
HYGIENIST
I was born and raised in London Ontario, and completed my hygiene training at Fanshawe College in 2020. I had the opportunity to explore BC and stumbled upon our wonderful town of Sooke. One year later, my husband and family moved across the country to our growing town. I spend almost all of my free time hiking, surfing/paddle boarding, camping, and travelling. I am looking forward to meeting more members of the community!

Dona Fox
CLINICAL FACILITATOR/FRONT DESK
I was born and raised on Vancouver Island and have lived in Sooke my whole life! I have worked in the dental field since 2020 when the Clinical Facilitator role was introduced, and then gravitated toward the front desk and have been lucky to learn on the job. Learning dental has been so much fun! I love that I get to call Sooke my home with my husband and our little Boston Terrier, Olive.
