Hi, my name is Arcea and I will be the first to welcome you to Clover Kids Dentistry! I was born and raised in San Jose, California, but I have been living in Colorado for many years. My husband and I love trying new restaurants around Denver and hanging out in our backyard with our three dogs. My hobbies include reading, drawing, listening to music, and re-watching Marvel movies and TV shows. Kids are full of energy and fun to work with especially when they share their special interests with us. I am so proud to be part of Clover Kids! I love working with an awesome team whose energy contributes greatly to the positive experiences our patients and their families have at Clover Kids.

Hello! Im Noemi and I am a dental assistant at Clover Kids Dentistry. I was born and raised in Fort Morgan, CO. My family means the world to me! Im one of out of seven kids: five boys and two girls. I am a bonafide dog person and love Alpha, my Husky-German Shepard. I love spicy food and of course working with kids! Every time I mention that I work with kids, I always get quizzical looks and the usual: Why do you like working with kids? I could never! My immediate thought is: Why wouldnt you like working with kids?! Every child is wonderfully unique! All the funny personalities keep my team and I on our toes during the exciting work day. Although working with children is not easy, it is unbelievably rewarding. Nothing is more gratifying than getting to know a child, forming a connection, building trust, and making them feel at ease in an unknown environment. Our greatest reward is helping these children get the best, healthy smiles in a fun and comfortable space!

Hi! My name is Maggie and I was born and raised in Colorado. One magical thing I love about Colorado is seeing the beautiful mountains that surround us every day. One of my favorite things to do is to go on scenic walks and enjoy nature. I also spend a lot of time volunteering and leading youth events at my church. I love working with children because its more than just getting the job done. Its about making connections, creating wonderful experiences, and seeing happy smiles. Teaching children about taking care of their teeth and seeing how enthusiastic they are in learning new skills is extremely rewarding. I love working at Clover Kids Dentistry because coming to work is exciting!

Hello, my name is Kate! I am a Colorado native, hailing from Golden and Arvada. I love babies and kids! Growing up, I was always the one holding the babies and taking care of the kids during social and church gatherings. Growing up in Colorado, I spend a lot of time outdoors with my large family. I enjoy going for walks along Clear Creek in Golden, hiking to St. Marys Glacier, camping, dirt biking, and riding my longboard. We have two dogs, Bentley and Kona. I truly enjoy the positive and fun work environment at Clover Kids. One of Dr. Bettys goals is to create an environment that makes children look forward to coming to the dentist. Whether Im writing new patient cards, or counting how many candy corn we can fit into a jar, there is always something new to look forward to and something that will help the kids leave with a smile.

Hello! My name is Dr. Kristopher Mendoza and I am a Board Certified Dentist Anesthesiologist. I attended UCLA School of Dentistry for dental school and residency in Dental Anesthesiology. Following residency, I moved to Colorado in order to spend as much time in the mountains as possible. I decided to become an anesthesiologist because I love to work with kids and help them to get the care they are otherwise unable to receive. Since moving here, I have been lucky enough to work with Dr. Betty Yip and I love to help facilitate her work of creating beautiful smiles for the Clover Kids!

Dr. Betty and her staff are so kind, welcoming, and patient. I enjoy seeing the connections she has with all of her patients, and truly look forward to the days I work at Clover! Outside of work, I am a full-time professional trail runner for Salomon and have a puppy named Mowgli. I have lived in Colorado for 6.5 years, and could not see myself anywhere else.
