Accomplishments

With over 31 years of experience in the dentistry field, I have acquired a comprehensive background in general dentistry and specialized areas, including cosmetic dentistry, oral surgery, periodontics, orthodontics, and pediatric dentistry. As a certified CDA and RDA dental assistant, my expertise extends to the business aspects of dentistry, encompassing patient scheduling, treatment planning, supply management, insurance verification, and electronic filing. I have also trained numerous colleagues in various dental software systems, such as Easy Dental, Dentrix, Practice Works, Dolphin, and Eagle Soft. My clinical training and experience in four-handed dentistry are complemented by my proficiency in dental lab work, inventory management, and troubleshooting dental equipment. Effective time management and a strong commitment to teamwork enable me to provide exceptional patient care while contributing to a productive and rewarding work environment.
