Our Team

I was born and raised in Sacramento where I attended St. Francis High School. My Dental Hygiene education was completed at San Joaquin Valley College in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. In addition to practicing dental hygiene, I furthered my scope by becoming a Myofunctional Therapist in an effort to provide expanded care for our patients. My husband and I live in the beautiful Pocket with our dogs. On most weekends, I’m likely entertaining family and friends at home; the more the merrier at my house, any floor can be a dance floor! I’m a huge sports fan. Football Sunday is my version on Sunday fun-day; go Niners. It makes me truly happy to be a part of the Patient Dental family. My approach with each patient is one with a compassionate touch and I genuinely value the bond between patient and healthcare provider. At Patient Dental, I look forward to many more years of new and continued patient interactions.

I grew up in the small town of Hughson, CA. After high school I knew I wanted to pursue a career in the health field and was drawn to Dental Hygiene. I graduated with my Dental Hygiene Degree from Chabot College in Hayward, CA in 2013. As a Dental Hygienist I strive to provide excellent patient care and build trusting relationships with each and every client. 

In my spare time I enjoy hiking with my husband and our two Australian Shepherds Remington and Arrow, reading, traveling, yoga, playing board games, cleaning and organizing. 

I’m thankful to be a member of an incredible team here at Patient Dental and look forward to the years to come. 

My name is Serena, I discovered my passion for dentistry at a young age and have been a Registered Dental Assistant since 2015. I always had a fear of going to the dentist growing up, so I decided to overcome that by working in the dental field. When I’m working with patients, my goal is to educate them on the benefits of dental care and hygiene. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and sons, going on hikes, and spending time with my friends and family. I joined the Patient Dental team in June of 2019, working here has definitely broadened my view of dentistry because our main focus isn’t only on dental health, it’s on the overall health of the patient.

My name is Viri, I grew up in Sacramento, CA and recently graduated from the Sacramento City College Dental Assistant Program. I knew I always wanted to be in the health field ever since I took an anatomy class in High School and fell in love with how the human body works. Working at Patient Dental has taught me how important patient care is and to provide the best quality care to our patients. 

I like being outdoors as much as indoors. I love learning new things so I am always trying to discover new songs to play on my ukulele. I enjoy reading and painting.

If you have a dog, tell me about your dog and I’ll tell you all about mine!
