My name is Claudia Quan. I was born in Miami, Florida, and moved to Santa Fe the summer after 7th grade. I graduated from St. Michaels High School and went on to receive a Bachelor of Science from The University of New Mexico. In 2014, I graduated from the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine. After dental school, I moved back to New Mexico to complete a postdoctoral Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency at UNM. After living away from home for so many years, I am blessed to be back and honored to serve patients from Santa Fe and surrounding areas.
My love for dentistry became a reality after I graduated from college in 2006. I started working as a pediatric dental assistant and immediately fell in love with dentistry. From my first day as a dental assistant, I knew I wanted to become a dentist. My favorite aspects of dentistry are working with my hands and educating patients on the importance of a healthy mouth and the connection between oral health and a healthy body.
I invite you with an open mind to explore all your dental possibilities. Allow us to gently ease any dental anxiety you are holding on to and help you heal from oral disease. With you in control of your dental health and the help of our wonderful team at Riverwalk Dental, the possibilities are endless.
Hello, my name is Naomi. I was born and raised in Santa Fe. My interest in dentistry began in high school when I had braces. Having braces made me think how cool it was to work with teeth, and be able to have an ideal smile and overall health. Ive always had good memories as a kid going to the dentist. I hope comfort is something I can bring to our patients.
I have an Associates degree in dental science and recently graduated from the dental assisting program at Santa Fe Community College. Im an artsy person that enjoys drawing and getting creative with any type of art. I like going to the gym, staying active, being outdoors, riding my horse once in a while, and helping others in any way I can.
