WHITNEY CALVILLO | OFFICE MANAGER

Whitney was born in Pasadena and comes from a very small family. She has a son named Evan and 3 dogs Ottis, Gizmo, and Pork Chop. Whitney started in dentistry about 18 years ago as an office manager in a dental lab. Because she was learning so much about teeth it started to pique her curiosity and ever since then she’s been in the dental field learning as much as she could. The best part of her job is being able to see her patients smile. Outside of the office Whitney loves doing things outdoors with her son, friends, and family. Whitney also loves to travel. She enjoys swimming, hanging out at the beach, bowling, and riding bikes. If you catch her in a moment alone you might find her watching Christmas movies, baking, or playing with her dogs. 🙂

YVONNE TAFOYA | REGISTERED DENTAL ASSISTANT

Yvonne was born and raised in Southern California, She is married and has 5 cats, no kids! Yvonne got into dentistry because she wanted to be able to help people in areas that a lot of people consider nerve-wracking to deal with, but want to feel confident with their smiles. Yvonne’s kindness and patience are two key factors in her personality. Many patients are nervous and need time to compose themselves so patience is key! Kindness comes into play because she believes there’s no reason to be rude even in the most difficult situations. Outside of the office, you will likely find Yvonne at the Gym lifting weights. She also enjoys going on small weekend getaways with her husband and is always looking forward to football season! Go Steelers!
