MEET THE DOCTORS

Two dentists, one office! Far from corporate dentistry! We became friends on the first day of dental school. Similar education, backgrounds, moral values, and priorities in two very different personalities. This is why we work so well together! We believe that our four eyes together benefit our patients. That being said, we don’t mind if you have a preference, we are never offended, just let our team know. We look forward to taking care of you, Dr. Linda Martin, and Dr. Esmeralda Munoz.
