Anna Nguyen, Front Office Coordinator

I have worked in the dental office at the front desk for 6 years and love to be able to interact with the patients. I see each day as an opportunity to ensure my patients’ dental needs are met. My patients and co-workers know that they can ask me anything and I will always be willing to help solve the problem. I enjoy building relationships with patients and helping them navigate the insurance world. In my free time, I spend it with my husband and my daughter enjoying the outdoors and traveling to new places.
