Larissa, Treatment Coordinator

Larissa has been an Orthodontic Assistant for over 10 years. Her favorite aspect of the job is getting to know each and every patient on a friendship level and watching them grow throughout their treatment with us. She strives to provide the highest quality of comfortability and care for every patient she sees and does it all with a smile!

When Larissa is not at work, you may find her walking her pup Lila down PCH and soaking up the sun or spending time with her family laughing and joking until the night is over. Her secret obsession is extreme couponing, so if you see her in the office ask her how you can save!

When Gail is not at work, you can find her spending time with her 4 children and loving husband. They are a family that is full of adventure and enjoy traveling to new places. For any outdoor activities, you can count Gail and her family in! Their favorite places to check out are national parks or anywhere a tent can be set up. Adventure awaits!
