Meet the Team

My name is Barbara and I’ve worked with Dr. Oral actually two different times. Back in 1983. He hired me when I was just out of school in a different office, and I worked there probably about four years, and then now I’ve worked with him again for four years, so known him forever, and it’s so much fun with him because there’s always something that I learn every single day. It’s very interesting and it’s made a great impact on my career working with him.

The reason I chose the dental field, it actually happened to be by accident, per se. Before I worked in the dental field, I worked as a receptionist for an optometrist, and when I came to live out here in the av, I went to several dental offices looking for a receptionist position. But the one office that I did go to wasn’t hiring for a receptionist, but they did offer me a position as a sterile tech, and that’s how I got into the dental field. Okay.

The reason why I decided to go into the dental field is it’s for the money, but it’s more for the flexible hours. And being a single mom, it’s been really helpful and be able to have the opportunity to spend time with my son as well. But I do love my patient. They become more of a friend than anything. So building that relationship and trust with my patient is amazing. So it’s always exciting to see them every time.
