Ynah Refuerzo
Registered Dental Assistant
The illustrious Ynah got her first college degree at age 22, where she graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. She then later got her Masters in Education at 26 years old (after having two sons).
It wasn’t until she was 41 when she went to dental school (in the Philippines) and graduated with a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at 45 years of age.
She originally came to America in 2005 because her husband wanted to be a Methodist Minister here in Los Angeles. She sold her practice and moved to America to support her husband and also brought her daughter.
Ynah has been with me since 2012, but she had been working as a Registered Dental Assistant since 2005.
She is terribly loyal, and for that, she operates essentially like my personal assistant in the office as well.
Years ago, it was just Ynah and I working together in a small office.
Ynah is specific and methodical – everything has a place, and she is as organized as can be.
Ynah speaks English and Tagalog.
Jenny Kozlova
Registered Dental Assistant
In October of 2020, Jenny began working for me. At that time, she was used to the extreme stress levels that are typical in a “normal” dental office.
Even some VERY high-end offices that she had worked in were highly stressful.
It took her some time to calm down and realize that dental offices don’t have to be a completely insane mess all the time.
She’s worked as a dental assistant all over the place for OVER 30 YEARS. Her experience is terrifically expansive.
She was a instructor as a dental assistant – she trained other assistants. She helped open an entire school and created an entire curriculum for training assistants.
She really enjoyed teaching.
She’s worked with endodontists, oral surgeons, anesthesiologists, endodontists, and orthodontists.
Now she is quite happy and enjoying being a backbone element of the office: helping to handle patients in each and every way possible.
Jenny speaks Russian and English.
