staff

And what a staff it is. From the moment you walk into the office, you feel like you have known them forever. They really make you feel like a part of their family.

The first person you will contact is the receptionist, who, by the way, likes brownies. Her name is Leslie. She will greet you with a smile and talking with with her makes you feel very confident that you have made the perfect decision. She has worked for Dr. Birnbaum for seven years as a dental assistant and receptionist. She says that she enjoys her work at Dr. Birnbaum's and her goal is to get to know all the patients. After working with Leslie, I have learned that she is a perfectionist. I am sure that Leslie will put the same care into your scheduling and contact with the Birnbaum Dental Office. Leslie truly is an awesome coordinator for your dental care.

Juanita Trinidad is an EDDA, (OK, that a very special dental assistant with special abilities) What a neat lady. She has worked with Dr. Anne for a total of 5 years and she says that she loves her job and really enjoys making her patients happy. Juanita is a lady of few words and when asked to write a small biography for this page, she was hesitant to describe herself. After watching her and talking with her, you get a lot from Juanita, ability, caring and thoughtfulness.

My name is Stephanie Nerad. I will soon be graduating from Pima Medical Institute. I have three weeks left to go before I am officially a Dental Assistant. I look forward to being done with school and being part of a preventive dentistry. Dentistry is something I have wanted to do since the time I was three years old. To be able to finally accomplish my goal and fulfill my dreams is more than words can describe. There is nothing better then working side by side with a great dental team, all with the same goal of helping the patient's. The things I enjoy doing with my free time is scrap booking, swimming, and camping. However most of my free time is spent with my family, I am a very family oriented person.

Hello. My name is Ashley Spooner. I was very fortunate to find this office where I could take my passion for dentistry and join a team that immediately accepted me into their family. I graduated from Regis University with an Honors Chemistry Degree in May 2007 and am now taking what I have learned in this office off to the University of Colorado School of Dentistry (yes, to be a dentist) in August 2008. I am very grateful for the opportunity that Dr. Birnbaum has given me in her office and for the warm, welcoming, and supporting environment that this dental team provides. Although I will be leaving this team soon, I consider myself an honorary employee and will be returning whenever my busy schedule allows (with treats of course)! I do love dentistry, however, I also enjoy running, skiing, snowboarding, and on very crazy days, babysitting 2 year old triplets.

The entire staff at this practice actually does make you feel like you are with friends. Their caring, gentle approach to patient care is very rewarding. The entire staff simply makes you proud. You will know that you have chosen the right dental practice.
