Ana
Lead Clinical Assistant
My name is Ana and I have been working in orthodontics for 8 years. What I like about orthodontics is being able to see the change in confidence in our patients after transforming their teeth. I love seeing patients go from not wanting to smile and barely talk, to smiling away! My hobbies outside of work are not working, hanging out with my family, kids, shopping, coffee!
Alejandra
Treatment Coordinator
My name is Alejandra and I have been in the dental field for over 14 years, starting in general dentistry and pediatrics, then soon transitioning to orthodontics. I was born and raised in the Bay Area and go back any chance I get. What I enjoy most about working in orthodontics is watching the confidence and joy it brings to kids and adults that walk into our office covering their mouth or are ashamed to smile. I love that we help them find their confidence and see them wanting to smile. Outside of work, I love to travel, spend time with my kids and husband, watch scary movies, and listen to true crime podcasts. A motto I live by is, “If you are going to do anything in life, do it with all your heart or not at all.” If I weren’t in the dental field, I would have loved to pursue a career in law enforcement as a police dispatcher. I feel my life goal is to help others!
Tallulah-Belle
Registered Dental Assistant
My name is Tallulah and I have been in the dental field for 3 years. What I like most about Orthodontics is making people feel better about their smile and I just really love braces haha! When I’m not working I’m at the gym or spending time with family and friends. A quote that I live by is “Until you find yourself it’s impossible to lose you” - Drake. One fun fact about me is that my favorite movie is clueless.
Sandra
Patient Coordinator/Dental Assistant
My name is Sandra and I have been in the dental field for 2 years. What I like most about orthodontics is knowing we are helping change someone’s life. My hobby outside of work is cooking. A motto I live by is, “What is meant to be will always find a way.” A fun fact about me is I love sports cars.
Rasha
Registered Dental Assistant
My name is Rasha and I have been in the dental field for 2 years.. What I like most about orthodontics is the confidence we give our patients with their new smile. There is something to learn about in orthodontics everyday! My hobbies outside of work are going on walks, shopping (retail therapy), and going to the beach. A quote that I live by is, “Every day is a chance to be better.”
Rachel
Insurance Coordinator/Financial Coordinator
My name is Rachel and I have been in the dental field for 3 years. What I love about orthodontics is connecting with our patients and making a difference in their lives by improving their confidence and making them smile! In my free time I enjoy spending quality time with my husband and dog, practicing and teaching yoga, traveling, bouldering, hiking and camping, gardening, baking, listening to podcasts and music and watching TV. I am so lucky to be a part of the wonderful team at Rise and it has been a privilege to serve our patients together!
