A Santa Clarita native, Stephanie attended College of the Canyons. She achieved her goal of becoming a dental hygienist by receiving a degree in Dental Hygiene from the Concorde Career College in Garden Grove.

She originally became interested in the field of dental hygiene when she was a patient here at Dentistry for Kids and Adults.

Stephanie enjoys learning about her patients and the always evolving field of dentistry. She strives to approach each day with a smile and provides a positive, comfortable experience for each patient.

When not at work, she loves exploring new cities and trying different restaurants.

Shawna started her career with us as an extern after finishing college. Over the years, she has become a true patient advocate who makes sure that every patient receives only the best care.

Shawna seems to make the impossible possible by working out even the toughest situations for our patients. She finds a way to make dentistry affordable for every patient; she figures out a way to maximize insurance benefits for patients who need a lot of dental work; she helps fearful patients feel at ease by finding solutions to minimize their fear or discomfort; she finds answers to all patient questions or concerns.

With her infectious smile and sparkling eyes, Shawna exudes warmth and confidence that our patients appreciate so much. She never seems to have a bad day and always naturally assumes the responsibility of a team leader, getting everyone in the office on the same page and ready to serve our patients.

In her spare time, she enjoys her family, her many friends, and the great outdoors.

With over ten years of experience in dentistry and her incredible efficiency, there is very little that Patty cannot do. Before joining our office, she had been working as a liaison between a union and a dental insurance plan, where she learned to help patients get the most out of their dental benefits.

Patty came to work in a private practice because she genuinely enjoys interacting with patients in person. With her vivacious laugh and endless energy, she easily connects with our patients and ensures that everyone feels comfortable.

She says that it’s our friendly patients who make her smile every minute of every day. Patty’s job is to work with insurance companies to represent the interests of our patients and to ensure that every patient can get the most out of his or her dental insurance benefits.

In her free time, she enjoys watching her daughter play basketball and listening to her son play various musical instruments. Her passion is running, hiking and spending time with her husband, children, and their two dogs.

Claudia started with us as an extern after completing her education at Bryman Dental Assisting College. She quickly gained skills and understanding of what patients need when they come to us.

Claudia is very friendly and has a soft touch that makes little ones feel so comfortable with her. She is also very detail-oriented and organized and makes every procedure that she assists with a quick and easy experience.

Aside from taking care of patients, she also makes sure that kids have a wide variety of toys to choose from as prizes for their excellent behavior, and she helps keep our kids’ rooms clean and enjoyable. Claudia is currently studying to become a dental hygienist.
