Vanessa Barragan
Assistant Office Manager
Vanessa joined our practice in 2013 and has become an integral part of our dental team. As assistant manager she prides herself in focusing on our patients at all times.
Her great leadership and communication skills help patients feel at ease and comfortable in making informed decisions with all of their dental needs.
She is always striving to give patients the best possible service from scheduling convenient and timely appointments, to explaining and maximizing their insurance benefits, and ensuring that all questions and/or concerns are dealt with appropriately and swiftly.
She is who ensures those smiles are seen not only walking in through our doors, but walking out as well!

Her goal as a healthcare professional, educator, and in life, is to aim (appreciate, inspire, and motivate) others in being happier and healthier throughout their lives. She hopes that with a positive outlook and the wisdom she has acquired over the past couple of years she can impact her patient's lives in positive ways, and give them yet another reason to smile.
Personally she enjoys spending time with her husband and two wonderful boys, and in her spare time she loves reading, exercising, and posting on her blog. (Which can be visited by clicking on the link below)

We believe the Smile is a Window to the Soul
Our goal is to provide the highest quality in dentistry in a calm and comfortable environment and in a friendly manner.
We place the outmost importance in the proper examination and diagnosis of your conditions. We have at our disposal the latest in tools and equipment, from digital x-rays (up to 90% less radiation), to intraoral cameras, and educational multimedia systems. You will be informed before any treatment is started of all possible options, and well aware of consequences of non-treatment. With the use of these tools, along with full explanation by demonstration while Dr. Sandoval makes his initial dental and oral assessment, each patient is given the amount of time they need to fully understand their diagnosis, treatment options, and consequence of non-treatment. We believe that one-on-one interaction and having the patient engaged through the entire process is key in building trust and making well-informed and confident decisions.
As a general dental practice, we offer a wide range of services, from emergency dental care to purely elective smile makeovers, and all other areas of dentistry in between. For those cases that may require it, we offer a select group of specialists to whom we may refer our patients.
We continuously educate and train ourselves with the latest dental techniques and tools so that we may offer our patients the best and most effective individualized dental healthcare, and so we continue to stay in the forefront of all dental advancements. We strive to give each of our patients the most comfortable and best experience at each of their dental appointments.
Our priority is always our patients! Our goal is to build the trust between patient and staff to maintain our relationship for years to come. The best thank you we can receive is that of our patients referring their family and friends to our practice due to the trust and confidence we have created with them.
