Ivette Morales

I have been in the Dental field for many years. It has always been a very rewarding and humbling experience for me. My favorite part about being an assistant is comforting people who are nervous or are doubtful. I have twin teen girls that I adore. I was fortunate enough to take a few years off to be with them. Gaining a patient’s trust is my ultimate goal. I enjoy being outdoors, especially being near any water and taking road-trips.
