Marijane
Operations Director

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. My name is Marijane. I started out as a dental assistant and navigated my way through the front office. I have been in the dental field for over 30 years. Becoming the Operations Director has been the most rewarding position that I've held. I have the opportunity to see beautiful smiles from our patients and I get to lead a dynamic team. In my free time, I love spending time with my close knit & loving family. I also love attending sports games and concerts. "Embrace Obstacles to build the resilience required to live a purpose driven life"

Amayajade
Assistant Office Manager

My name is Amayajade (Amaya) and I am the Assistant Office Manager here at W&B Dental. I really enjoy my career in the dental field because my mother was an RDA all of my life and my step-dad is also an orthodontic assistant. I have always been comfortable in the dental chair even before I had teeth or before I could walk. My goal is to help our patients receive the best dental care possible, and also help any patient with overcoming dental phobia. I truly believe that it starts with being welcomed with a warm smile and being cared for by all staff members. I have full confidence that our team will make your visits to our practice the very best. Outside of the office, I often enjoy spending time with my loved ones, taking trips to Disneyland, and exploring the beautiful views and landmarks in my old hometown of San Francisco. You can ask me any questions pertaining to dental, and also any questions about the best food in Disneyland and San Francisco! I truly look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our wonderful dental practice.
