Melissa  Office Manager

I'm usually the first person you see when you come into the office. I have over 30 years of experience in the dental field including assisting and front office, which allows me the ability to answer patients technical questions, as well as any financial or insurance related questions. I look forward to seeing the look on my patient's face when they realize they can finally have the smile they've always dreamed of. This is not a job to me-it is my passion!

When I'm not at work I enjoy spend time with my family and friends.

Kenna  Business Assistant

My job includes scheduling appointments, presenting treatment plans and communicating with insurance companies on behalf of our patients. Sometimes I will act as a sounding board for Melissa and Dr. Luong as well. I've been in the dental field since 2000 and studied biology and chemistry for four years in college. I am well versed in the business aspect of both dental and medical offices. I love the challenge my job presents and really go to bat for our patients when dealing with insurance issues.

My family is my life. There is nothing like being surrounded by all their craziness and love. My family does include the four legged variety, as we have two dogs and five cats. I love reading, swimming and traveling.
