For many years, Dr. Stan Andrews had a dental practice along Route 169 leading south from Stanberry to King City. He would put up a new quote every day to attract attention to his business. Several months ago, he retired and Parnell resident Fallon Cordell Stiens now practices dentistry in the building on the southeast edge of Stanberry. She even continues the practice of putting up new sayings every day.
Stiens said that she had wanted to do something related to healthcare and fell in love with dentistry after shadowing Dr. Phil Poynter of Maryville. “He was a good mentor to me and still is,” she said. She said that she learned about patient and staff management from watching him.
Fallon offers basic cleaning, filling, whitening, crowns, and extraction. They treat people of all ages; her oldest patient is 98 years young. She has been practicing since August. Down the road, she said that she would like to add two hygienists so that they can see five patients at one time.
She currently has three employees – Taylor Dougan, Karen Fuller (21 years experience as a Dental Assistant), and Maggie Marticke (14 years experience). She is married to Kelly Stiens and they make their home in Parnell. She is the daughter of Steve and Debbie Cordell; she has one brother, Ryan. She is the granddaughter of the late John and Bonnie Cordell and the late Orlo and Maxine Beatty.
Stiens went to school at Northeast Nodaway, where she was a cheerleader and graduated from high school. She attended college at Northwest Missouri State and later at UMKC.
