The people who answer the phone and sit chairside.

The team

Running the office and the chairs

1. 01

   Paola Cabrera

   Office manager

   Paola's goal is to help patients reach their dental goals and treat them like family. The part she loves most is changing someone's life by changing their smile. Outside the office: her son Jeremiah, hiking, and trying new foods.

2. 02

   Angela Contreras

   Registered dental assistant

   Angela likes getting to know patients up close and helping them keep their teeth healthy. She's always excited when her patients come back.

3. 03

   Nancy Hernandez

   Registered dental assistant, bilingual

   Nancy has been a registered dental assistant for more than six years and has assisted on a wide range of procedures. Patients know her for a calm, understanding manner, in English or Spanish.

4. 04

   Julie McGowen

   Front desk

   Julie started as a dental assistant in 1993 and has spent decades in dentistry, the last several years running the front office. Away from work she's with family, cooking, baking, or out ranching.

5. 05

   Carla Leon

   Registered dental assistant

   Carla is grateful Dr. Vazquez and Dr. Aldana gave her the chance to join the team, and she loves connecting with patients. Her message to anyone nervous: you're in good hands.

The office

More living room than clinic

A local practice, not a corporate chain. Dr. Aldana's goal for the office is simple: that it feels like a little slice of home.
