Cynthia Pizarro - Dental Assistant

Hi! My name is Cynthia and I have been a certified dental assistant for over 10 years. I entered the dental field after earning my dental assisting certification back in 2009. I’m proud to say I love working with the “Dream Team” because we treat each other like a family. The amount of teamwork I see between us is fascinating. In addition, I love working with people and helping our patients achieve healthy mouths and a positive outlook about taking good care of their teeth. Getting to know each individual is a lot of fun! It’s rewarding to know how appreciative our patients are when we’ve exceeded their expectations. There is always a joy to see them satisfied after their visit to the office. During weekends, I enjoy being with my family and taking long drives down the coast to visit Baja California for some good eats!
