Meet the East Dental Care Team

In 1983, I graduated from California State Polytechnic University and obtained a Masters’s degree in Electronic and Computer Engineering in 1990. I have been working in the equipment development field for years and my last employment before joining East Dental Care was Tool Design Principal Engineer of Boeing Company. I am very happy with the new challenges as the Tool Design Principal Engineer at East Dental Care. In 2019, I coordinated with distributors and vendors to upgrade all office and dental equipment to the most up to date digital technology to serve our patients better. It is my reward to make the jobs of all doctors and staff easier and more efficient.

Besides the technical side, I also enjoy travelling with my wife and cooking Vietnamese noodle soup Pho for my children.

I have been working at East Dental Care as a dental receptionist for over 20 years. This is the longest job I have ever had since I graduated and moved to Calgary. Gradually East Dental Care became the most important part of my life as my second home and family. Since working here, I have had a lot of chances to learn and experience all administrative operations of our dental office as well as become familiar with many of our office patients.

I devote most of my time to my job as I love working here, but I also enjoy shopping, cooking a lot on my days off. My regular destination is Las Vegas as our family enjoys the buffets and shopping there. I also love taking road trip vacations; one day I hope our family can make a long trip driving along Trans Canada Highway to discover diverse cultures and beautiful must-see landmarks that we have never been to.

I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration in Accounting from SAIT. I joined East Dental Care in 2016 as an Accountant. My role involves the preparation of financial reports, accounts receivable, accounts payable and month-end closings.

I love the challenge of analyzing numbers, using financial formulas and calculating metrics.

I love helping East Dental Care calculate every aspect of the company’s spending, earnings, and keep their finances in order through my documentation and analysis.

I was born and raised in India. I completed my Bachelor of Dental Surgery in India in 2012 and worked there as a dentist for two years. Then, I moved to Canada to pursue dental hygiene and after graduating, practiced dental hygiene for 4 years in Central Canada. Now, I have moved to Calgary and recently joined East Dental Care.

I am delighted to be a part of a very passionate and caring team. My main goal is to improve patients’ oral and systemic health while creating a comfortable experience in the dental chair. I love bonding with my patients and finding out what their wants and needs are. With my advanced training and continuing education, I am confident I can help people achieve total oral health.

When I’m not working, I like to go hiking, gardening, travelling and art and crafts.

My journey with East Dental Care started in 2018 when I first graduated from SAIT and began working here as a dental assistant. I left shortly after as I had decided to pursue higher education and advance my dental career further, but now as a Registered Dental hygienist.

I recently graduated from Toronto College of Dental Hygiene in the year 2021 and I am very grateful for the opportunity to return to East Dental Care. Under the team’s guidance, I am very excited to provide and educate my patients on their short and long-term goals in attaining oral health, while creating an inviting and comfortable atmosphere in the clinic.

In my free time, I love to try different foods, do activities like exercising or working out, and binge-watch my Netflix shows!

I am a registered dental assistant for East Dental Care. I have been working with East Dental Care for 25 years. For me, I love to see people smile and love to bond with patients and potentially grow old together!

Besides working, I have other hobbies that I like to do in my free time like cooking, hiking, and travelling. I also like to spend my days off by having a nice steaming hot cup of coffee and going for walks with my husband.

Keep smiling!

I received my Dental Assistant Certificate in 2019 and I ended up working at East Dental Care Clinic. I’m proud to say I love working with the team because we treat each other like a family. The amount of teamwork I see between us is fascinating. I don’t think I’ve seen this level of trust with any other team I’ve worked with before. Besides the amazing staff, I enjoy interacting with patients and learning interesting things from them.

During weekends, I enjoy being with my family and friends. I also enjoy watching K-drama and going shopping.

I joined the team at East Dental care in September 2019. I enjoy the team I work with and feel lucky to be able to build relationships with patients. There is always a joy to see them satisfied after their visit to the office.

In my spare time, I like to bake and watch Korean dramas/movies. I love a good adventure and to be out trying new things.

Becoming a member of this dental clinic changed my journey. I am really lucky to be a part of this clinic and to be working with amazing people while gaining all new experiences and meeting wonderful patients. Having this opportunity will definitely help me become an official dental assistant within the upcoming year.
