Stephanie Orozco, Dental Assistant
Hi, my name is Stephanie. I graduated from The Phoenix Dental Assisting school in Glendale, AZ and am currently studying to get my radiology and coronal polishing license. I became a dental assistant because I know how much dental health can impact a person’s confidence . I love seeing their reactions when they finally achieve the smile they’ve always wanted and to also make patients feel comfortable in an environment that may come off as nerve racking. When I’m not working I like to go shopping and go on adventures with my dog.
