Lina, Office Manager
Lina may be one of the newer members of our team, but she has more than 15 years of experience in the field of dentistry. And her educational background is just as impressive! She attended Carrington College, which is where she earned her Associate of Science degree. She also is a certified dental assistant, Phlebotomist, and medical assistant. When asked about her favorite aspect of her job, she shared that it’s helping patients achieve healthy smiles while utilizing their insurance to the fullest to keep their out-of-pocket costs down.
Lina and her husband, Herb, have been married for more than 20 years now. Together, they have three amazing kids that they enjoy spending time BBQing and going to the beach with. Some of her other interests include gardening, trying new foods, reading, and being outdoors.
Liz, Treatment Coordinator
One of Liz’s favorite things about her job is being able to meet so many of our amazing patients while helping them achieve their healthiest and brightest smiles. Originally from Concord, she went to study at Los Medanos College and has undergone extensive training in various areas, including dental administration, managing patient scheduling, verifying insurance eligibility, and billing processes.
Whenever she isn’t at the office, Liz loves spending time with her family and loved ones. Her hobbies involve shopping, playing video games, and traveling around the world, especially Japan! One interesting fact about her: she prefers enjoying a home-cooked meal rather than going out.
Monica, Scheduling Coordinator
Monica was born and raised right here in San Ramon – she even went to Redlands High School! From there, she attended Chabot College. While she’s relatively new to the dental field, she’s already a perfect fit because she loves meeting new people and building genuine relationships with them. Making everyone feel like family is extremely rewarding for her.
Away from the office, Monica loves to spend time with her husband and their two sons. Cheering her kids on at their sporting events, going to the gym, and reading are some of her favorite things to do.
Sadaf, Registered Dental Hygienist
Sadaf attended dental school in Pakistan (where she was a dentist) and has been working in the profession for over 15 years. She loves meeting and helping people every day and considers herself to be a perfectionist when it comes to our patient’s teeth.
Sadaf is the proud mom of three children as well as a beautiful cat. When she isn’t relaxing with them, you’ll often find her organizing her home or decorating!
Nadia, Registered Dental Hygienist
Nadia’s experience is quite extensive; she has earned her Associate in Science Dental Hygiene, obtained her Associate in Science Allied Health, and has more than five years of hands-on experience! For her, the best part of being a dental hygienist is feeling appreciated by the community and people she serves.
Outside of work, she loves spending time with family, shopping, and cooking. Here’s a fun fact about her: she can speak six different languages, and she can read and write in five of them!
Linda, Registered Dental Assistant
Linda has been an important member of our team for over five years now, and she has over 30 years of experience in the dental field overall! In addition to earning her registered dental assistant license at Alameda College, she obtained her extended functions license at the University of Pacific in 2016. For her, the best thing about her job is educating patients on how to take care of their teeth and being a part of creating beautiful smiles.
Linda is married and has four children. As a family, they love hiking on trails and going to the beach. She also uses her time outside the office to shop, sew, and arrange flowers!
