Stephanie - Office Manager
I have worked in dentistry for 12 years and do not consider what I do a job but rather a career. Dentistry is my passion! I enjoy working in an industry that affords me the opportunity to help others on a daily basis. A big part of what I do is work with patients to help them achieve their dental needs by establishing a financial plan that works for them. We strive daily to ensure that our patients are seen in a timely manner and treated with the highest level of customer service. Our team works very well together and our goal is to give every patient the smile they deserve. I have a wonderful husband and two amazing boys that keep me busy in my off time.

Sandra - Registered Dental Assistant
My goal as a dental assistant is to provide patients with excellent care. I want our patients to know that I strive to provide high quality care and patient comfort. I also want to provide the highest standards of sterilization provided by OHSA, as I feel this is one of the most important areas of the dental office. I would like to educate our patients about their dentistry and for them to understand what treatment we are providing the the benefit to them.

Hailey - Dental Assistant
I am a recent transplant to Houston from a very small town in Arkansas. I knew I wanted to do something bigger and decided to become a dental assistant. For the past three years I have been helping patients with their dental concerns and needs. My main responsibility is to assist Dr. Idriss in providing her with the tools and assistance she needs from start to finish of your dental treatment. It really makes me happy to see our patients with the beautiful smile that they have always wanted. In my spare time I enjoy outdoor activities and spending time with my family and friends.
