Im from Wisconsin and moved to California in 1983. I worked in banking for 10 years before entering the world of dentistry. I was one of Dr. Maseks patients for several years when he offered me the position of receptionist in 1991.

I am very knowledgeable about dental procedures, insurance and financial arrangements. I am x-ray and CPR certified and do some chairside assisting. I was promoted to Office Manager in 2000 because of Dr. Maseks confidence in my exceptional customer service skills to ensure that the office runs smoothly for the benefit of our dental friends. I am married with 2 sons and enjoy Chloe, my English Bulldog.

I have been providing excellent patient care along side Dr. Masek at Dental Expressions since 1999. I graduated in 1988 from Madison Area Technical College in Madison, WI. I started my career working in various offices until I decided to follow my heart and move west. I am married and have a wonderful teenage daughter. My work ethic and values reflect my mid-west roots.

I am Laser, Ozone and CPR certified, and through continuing education, I keep up with the latest periodontal procedures. These include Dental Ozone Therapy, HIPPA and OSHA standards, so I can provide you with the best periodontal care available. I look forward to helping you attain and maintain optimal dental health.

Dental Expressions is a high quality dental office. Dr. Masek is a consummate professional. His staff is excellent. I always feel secure in the knowledge that I will get great care without unnecessary procedures being forced on me. All treatments are explained in detail so that I understand what is being done. I especially appreciate the 'comfort in the chair' which he and his staff provide.

I had the pleasure of being treated by Dr Masek in 2013. He treats you with care and gentleness and he uses the latest technology where he was able to do crowns for me in one visit! From the entrance of the office to the dental chair, the decor is beautiful and welcoming. His staff helps you feel at home. I consider him one of the best dentists I've ever been treated by!
