I am passionate about greeting and getting to know all of our patients. I strive in making sure they receive quality service and attention from our front office. With 30 years' experience in both Dental Assisting and Reception, I have a genuine interest in helping patients achieve and maintain an optimal dental experience.

I am fairly new to Dr. Rao's office and feel very privileged to work here with such an amazing staff. I look forward to getting to know the patients and helping to create a positive experience.
