Araceli
Dental Assistant
I started working with Dr. Bana in 2004 and have almost 30 years of experience in the dental field. I assist Dr. Bana with dental implants and other patient procedures, as well as make each patient feel comfortable and welcome in our office. I truly enjoy every aspect of my job, especially working directly with our patients. At home, I love spending time with my husband and son. We like to go traveling together, and of course, I enjoy shopping.
Jacqueline
Treatment and Front Desk Coordinator
I arrange our patients’ financial options, insurance, and explain all the details of their treatment plan. It is very fulfilling to help patients get access to the dental care they need to achieve and maintain their oral health. I am a very happy person and can often be seen with a big smile around our office. My family is very important to me, so I spend as much of my free time with them as possible. I also love to travel and see new places.
Judith
Dental Hygienist
As a hygienist, my duties are to welcome patients into our treatment areas, take X-rays and pictures, and do an oral examination, followed by a gentle yet thorough cleaning. The most important aspect of my job is educating patients on how to improve their oral health for teeth that last a lifetime. I have worked with Dr. Bana for over ten years and I have always felt like a member of his family. Most of my leisure time is spent with my family, either watching movies, playing board games, or dining out.
Lloydis
Insurance Coordinator
I help our patients receive the dental care they need by working with insurance companies and making sure our patients use all the benefits they are entitled to. It is great to know that I’ve helped a person improve their oral health, and their overall health, by making their care affordable. I am a very jovial person who loves life and laughter. Outside the office, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and friends.
Lourdes
Accounting
I help to make our office run smoothly by ensuring all our accounting needs are met. Even though I don’t get to interact with patients as much as the other team members, I still enjoy hearing stories about patients that are really happy with the services they’ve received and how pleasant their time with us was. I enjoy spending time with my family when I’m not in the office. We enjoy boating with friends, our family, and our dog, Max, as well.
Maria
Dental Assistant
I assist Dr. Bana with dental procedures, greet patients, and welcome them into the treatment rooms. I also make sure all their questions are answered and they have everything they need to ensure a positive dental visit. I want them to feel like they’ve come to a great place where they will get the best treatment possible. Outside the office, I enjoy going to the movies and the theater. I love to read as well, but most importantly I love spending time with my family.
