Hello, my name is Serena, I’ve been in the dental field since 2019. One of my favorite part about going to work is seeing our kind patients and seeing them happy after their dental appointment. Since the day I started going to school to be a dental assistant I enjoyed every aspect of it, and now that I currently work in Dr. Aghakhani‘s office it has been an even more amazing experience. I love to help patients achieve beautiful smiles. I look forward to developing and expanding my assisting skills with the help of Dr. Aghakhani and the rest of the staff. One thing I am very grateful for is having my supportive family and my loving boyfriend. In my free time, I like to spend time with my dog and barbecue with my family.
