Our Team
Dr. Kathy DiPasquale Kim

Dr. Kathy DiPasquale Kim grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore and has always had a passion for art and science. She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and Towson University with degrees in biology and industrial design. After a successful career as a product designer, she chose to combine her interests in artistry and patient care and earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Maryland, Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. Dr. Kim is a member of the American Dental Association and the Maryland State Dental Association. She is fluent in Spanish and Italian and works hard to provide high-quality dental care to each patient. Dr. Kim is married and has a young daughter.

Dr. Deborah Wilson
Dentist / Hygienist
Dr. Deborah Wilson semi-retired in the spring of 2021 after practicing for 37 years, 20 of which from her office on Minstrel Way in the building next door!
After an extensive search for a practice where her patients would feel most comfortable, she found Dr. Kim - who she described as "a younger, more modern version of me, with the same caring attitude, attention to detail and commitment to excellence and innovation in dentistry – a Dr. Wilson, 2.0."
While in semi-retirement, she is working part-time at Lakeside Smiles Columbia performing only cleanings and periodic and emergency exams.
Angie
Hygienist
Angie, who worked with Dr. Wilson for over 20 years, followed her to Lakeisde Smiles Columbia. For long-time patients of Dr. Wilson, it will be a familiar sight to see Dr. Wilson and Angela, only in different sourroundings.
Angie works part-time at Lakeside Smiles Columbia since she spends the rest of her week taking care of her FOUR grandchildren. We are waiting for them to grow up so she can return to full-time, but she keeps getting more grandkids!
Christine
Hygienist
Christine works part-time at Lakeside Smiles Columbia. She brings many years of hygienist experience and expertise to our office. She is proficient with regular cleanings as well as deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) and she performs both with minimal discomfort to her patients. She also works very quickly so she will make sure your teeth are cleaned and are out the door so you can enjoy the rest of your day!
Lisa
Hygienist
Lisa is the most recent addition in the back at Lakeside Smiles Columbia. A native Howard County-ian, he comes to us with 25+ years of experience working at only a handful of dental offices in the Baltimore area. She has a kind demeanor and is gentle on your teeth and is passionate about making sure that your teeth stay healthy.
Roxy
Dental Assistant
Roxy rejoined Dr. Kim after working together at another dental office. While Roxy enjoyed working at her previous office, she was very sad to see Dr. Kim leave to pursue starting her own practice. When she learned that Dr Kim was in need of a dental assistant, she jumped at the opportunity to join the Lakeside Smiles Columbia team and Dr. Kim welcomed her with open arms (and hugs). When Roxy is not at work, she spends her with her young daughter. She's also a native Spanish-speaker!
Joilenny
Front Office / Insurance Specialist
Joi brings a big smile at the front desk and an attention to detail when working with insurance companies. She will gladly answer any billing and insurance questions that you may have. If your insurance tells us that you no longer have coverage, or if they deny a claim, then Joi is relentless with getting to the bottom of the story and appealing denied insurance claims if necessary. She will also help explain copays, payment options, and any other account questions. She's also a native Spanish-speaker!
Irene
Dental Assistant
Irene has been a great addition to the Lakeside Smiles Columbia team. She was friends with Roxy outside of work and when she learned of an opening at our office, she applied right away. When she's not at work, she enjoys spending time with her husband and young son. She's also a native Spanish-speaker!
Lauren
Front Office Administrator
Lauren is the newest member of the Lakeside Smiles team. Lauren will most likely be the first person you encounter at Lakeside Smiles, whether it be via text, email, phone, or in person. However you communicate with her, she will do everything she can to help with what you need in a caring, personable way.
