Meet the Team
Matt - Practice Administrator
I have been with Dr. Raber since 2009, and have loved every minute! I am a true Prescottonian, born and raised here in Prescott. I went to Miller Valley and Taylor Hicks grade schools, graduated from PHS, and then attended BYU and graduated with a BFA in Interior Design. After graduating, I worked in San Francisco for three months but felt drawn back to this wonderful community.
After returning home, I joined my brother Steve as an owner of Marler’s Furniture, a family business that started back in 1947 by my grandpa Marler. We sold the furniture store in 2008 and that’s what led me to Dr. Raber. My wife Karen and I have raised five kids, all married with eight grandkids and counting!

Liz - Dental Assistant
Hi, my name is Liz! I was born and raised in Prescott. I’m a proud Navy wife and dog mom to two cute fur balls. When I was a kid, I loved going to the dentist. Since then, I knew I wanted to be involved in dentistry. After graduating high school, I attended NAU and Yavapai College to become a Registered Dental Hygienist. As I stay committed to making that dream come true, I am so happy to be dental assisting alongside Dr. Raber, Dr. Mortenson, and Dr. Goler. I am certified in Coronal Polishing and Radiation Health and Safety. I have been assisting since 2021, and my favorite part about it has been bringing the same joy to our patients that I felt as a kid when seeing the dentist. If I’m not cuddled up with my fur babies at home, I look forward to meeting you and your family at our office!

I deeply love books, and you’ll always catch me with one in my purse. I love playing games, watching movies, and (one of Dr. Raber’s favorites) Star Wars. This team is one of the most kind-hearted groups of people I have ever met. I love traveling, especially when it’s Japan. My dream is to one day own a place there. Ever since I was a child, I loved going to the dentist. The best part was having your teeth cleaned, getting a prize, and the smell of mint upon entering. Because of this, I am studying to become a Dental Hygienist. Working with kids is the best part! They are funny and always say the most random things!

I have always had a passion for working with children. They make the workday fun! I grew up in California with two sisters, nine cats, and a dog, and made my way to Arizona in 2024. I have a son who is 25, so he is too big to come see Dr. Raber and Dr. Mortenson, but if he was still little, he would love coming here! In my spare time, I love to watch movies, play video games, and cook. When I’m outdoors, I love hiking or being on the water.

I absolutely love making every child's dental visit positive and enjoyable, especially children with special needs. I also truly enjoy working with Dr Raber, Dr Mortenson, and Dr Goler.
I stepped away from the dental field for several years to open our home to do foster care. Advocating for children and supporting their families toward reunification was one of the most rewarding and meaningful experiences! However, I am now excited to be returning to dental and reconnecting with our amazing team and wonderful patients!
In my free time I enjoy cooking, church, the beach, Disneyland, making memories with family and friends, and spending time with my incredible daughter, who inspires me every day to keep life positive and joyful!
