Silvia

Insurance / Patient Coordinator

I have been part of Wackford Dental since 2016. I started working in the Dental field in 2013. I have worked, in the past, as a back office Dental Assistant and now love to work front office as an insurance/patient coordinator. I enjoy working one to one with patients, developing relationships as I present their treatment recommendations but also care for the whole person, beyond their dental health. I am glad to be part of a practice and team that treat patients well and deliver excellent dentistry.
In my spare time, I enjoy being with my family, especially my nieces whom I adore.

June

Insurance Coordinator

I am one of the friendly smiling faces that greets patients when they enter the office and schedules recall appointments when they leave. I always try to make each patient and his or her family feel comfortable and at home while people are in our office. Whether patients are here for a regular checkup or needs more advanced dental treatment, seeing the smile on their face at the end of the appointment makes all the hard work worth it! I am happily married and love spending time with family and friends. I also enjoy photography, painting, and playing video games.

Jenny

Schedule Coordinator

My job is to make our patients’ dental appointments fit as easily and conveniently into their busy schedules as possible. I understand that our patients have many obligations, from work to school to family, so I do my best to make their appointments at a time that is best for them. I’m also available to follow up on any questions or concerns they may have with regard to their dental treatment. At the end of the day, I know I’ve succeeded when I see our patients leave the office feeling good about themselves and their smile. During my leisure hours, I am dedicated to spending quality time with my family. I also grow my own vegetables, so I can often be found working in my garden.
