Stefani
Dental Assistant
Hello, my name is Stefani Ann Murguia. I am 23 years old. I was born and raised here in Santa Maria. I am a mother of two girls, Layla and Lavette. I was working as a customer service representative for about 5 years and I absolutely love helping people.
I am fairly new to the Dental Industry, being an assistant here for almost a year now. Doctor Baldiviez has allowed me to spread my wings and expand my knowledge here at her office. In a short amount of time, I have learned both the front and back of the office.
My goal here is to make sure our patients' questions and concerns are met in a professional manner. I look forward to expanding my knowledge even more throughout the upcoming years here at Park Avenue Smiles.
