Dr. Neda Setareh grew up in Westlake Village, California. As an undergraduate student atUCLAshe studied biology and was a Regents Scholar. Here, Dr. Setareh developed a keen interest in the health sciences, as well as arts and aesthetics. Her decision to pursue a career in dentistry came naturally, as the field perfectly combines her academic and artistic interests with her desire to serve and help others live happier and healthier lives.
Upon graduating from the UCLA Dental School in 1998, Dr. Setareh was recognized by theAmerican Association of Women Dentistsfor her outstanding leadership and academic excellence. Since that time, Dr. Setareh has not stopped learning and growing within her field, and she has committed herself to building a wide repertoire of experience while performing all aspects of general and cosmetic dentistry.

Outside of the office, Dr. Setareh enjoys yoga, hiking, and spending time with her husband, two daughters, and extended family and friends. She teaches classes for the spiritual education of children based on the Baha'i Faith. It is her belief that children should have a moral education, along with education in the arts and sciences, so that they can grow to serve and benefit mankind. Daily, she finds inspiration in this quote:
Strive that your actions day by day may be beautiful prayers. Enrich the poor, raise the fallen, comfort the sorrowful, bring healing to the sick, reassure the fearful, rescue the oppressed, bring hope to the hopeless! Abdul-Baha

My experience with dentistry began in 2004, when I graduated as a dental technician. I joined the Stars Dental team in 2008. As an office manager my responsibility is to make sure that the office runs smoothly. My goal is that the doctors, staff members, and especially patients are well taken care of. I enjoy helping people and seeing the beautiful smiles that we create every day. Seeing the faces of relief after the doctors treat our patients is the best feeling. Knowing that we did something good for someone is priceless. Everyone knows that the best moments are spent with family, and I can say that I am blessed to be surrounded by an amazing team that I consider part of my family. We are a great team!
In my free time, my husband and I enjoy camping and hiking. Last summer we camped at Yosemite National Park. Our plan was to hike the famous Half Dome, but unfortunately, it rained so much that we werent able to hike it. We will try to go back to Yosemite and hike the Half Dome next year!
Whether Im taking care of a patient's needs, helping the doctors, or making sure the office runs smoothly and keeping everyone on their toes, Im glad to be a part of this office. My journey at Stars Dental started in 2009 and I still love it! The doctors are great people and I consider them to be my friends. We share our professional and personal lives together. We are a good team. When Im not in the office, I love being a mother, wife, and grandmother. I enjoy the outdoors and love to have fun!
I completed dental assisting school in 1995 and received my RDA license in 1997. In 2010, I joined the team at Stars Dental. As an assistant, I work alongside Drs. Neda and Adib Setareh with patient care and X-rays, and I help out at the front desk when needed. I love getting to know our patients; they are all wonderful and make working at Stars Dental a joy!
I have been married to my husband, Jeff, for 17 years. We have two kids, Brittney and Madison, as well as two dogs (my other children) Harley and Daisie, both German shepherds. In my free time, I enjoy going to concerts and the beach.
I began working at Stars Dental in October 2014. For the few months that Ive been with Stars Dental, I can gladly say that I am thrilled to be a part of this great team. It has been a joy meeting and interacting with our wonderful patients, especially when seeing them come in with a smile and comfort. I have enjoyed bonding with the doctors and the rest of the team members. The devotion and dedication of making our patients feel secure and at ease is one of the reasons why I love working at Stars Dental.
I am the fifth child of seven and enjoy spending quality time with my family and friends. The best part about living by the coast is our beautiful weather and being able to do plenty of activities out in the sun. I definitely adore the outdoors; hiking, camping, fishing and the beach are some of my hobbies. I am always looking forward to spring and summer.
Hi, I am one of Stars Dental's assistants. My job is assisting the doctors in every procedure from root canals, crown extractions to genral check-ups and cleanings. I also help to ensure that patients are comfortable and happy with their treatments. My favorite part of my job is interacting with patients and working in a positive environment. The Drs. and staff are amazing people to be around, and along with the modern office I enjoy my work everyday.
I was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco and raised in Oxnard, CA. I work full time here at Stars Dental and am a part time musician on the weekends with a local group called Mariachi Aguilas. Hobbies include spending time with loved ones and friends, watching movies and practicing violin and my voice as a singer.
My favorite part of being a dental assistant is working with people on a one-on-one level. From teaching them things about caring for their teeth to easing their fears, my job is to make them feel comfortable. Working with doctors and staff is also a real pleasure. I think teamwork is important, and it plays a big role in everything I do. Working together to produce great results gives a great positive outlook to clients who come in and it makes them feel comfortable.
