Elaina
FAADOM, Practice Administrator and Study Club Coordinator
I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Alijanian since 2005. I began as a certified surgical assistant and quickly found myself cross-trained in both the back and front office. Now as our practice administrator, I am fulfilling my passion for improving patient’s dental health through personalized care and education. In 2016, I became a fellow of the American Association of Dental Office Managers, which is the nation’s largest educational and networking association dedicated to serving dental practice management professionals. I feel privileged to be a part of such an amazing office that strives to provide patients with the best surgical care possible and with a doctor who continues to motivate and support our team.
When I am not in the office, you can find me spending time with my husband and our two children, taking trips, camping, or helping coach my son’s baseball and daughter’s softball teams.

Paula
FAADOM, Implant Treatment Coordinator
I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Alijanian since 2011. Starting as a scheduling coordinator and moving into the position of a treatment coordinator, I strive to provide the highest quality of care available for our patients and to make each visit comfortable and pleasant. Dr. Alijanian has encouraged me to fulfill my passion for improving patients’ dental health through personalized care and education. In 2016, I became a fellow of the American Association of Dental Office Managers, which is the nation’s largest educational and networking association dedicated to serving dental practice management professionals. It is an honor to work with such an amazing doctor and team. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling with my fiancé and spending as much time as I can with family and friends.

Jessica
Treatment Coordinator
I started in the dental field in 2013. I began as a scheduling coordinator and found my passion as a treatment coordinator after more education and training. Taking care of patients and fulfilling their dental needs has always been a passion of mine. I am honored and proud to work with Dr. Alijanian and our team, who motivate me every day. I could not have achieved great success without their support and help.
When I am away from the office, I love spending time with my fiancé and kids, going on trips or to the beach, and helping with my son’s football team. I became a member of the American Association of Dental Office Managers, in 2022 which is the nation’s largest educational and networking association dedicated to serving dental practice management professionals.

Keiara
Patient Care Coordinator
Unlike many of my colleagues, I started in the dental field fairly recently, and so far, I am enjoying every second of it! I am currently one of the patient coordinators, with a goal of expanding my knowledge in the dental field. I cannot thank Dr. Alijanian enough for giving me this opportunity. It is truly amazing to work for a doctor who cares about his team, patients and family, while doing it so effortlessly. I learn something new every day with the support of this amazing team, and it is a pleasure working with his patients.
When I am not at the practice, I enjoy reading and photography, as well as spending time with my partner, family and friends.

Katrece
Marketing & Training Coordinator
Katrece has had the pleasure of working with Dr. Alijanian since January of 2021. Joining the dental industry was a leap of faith after her hotel closed due to COVID-19. It has been an honor for her to join a team with such excellence in the dental and oral surgery community. She is excited about her new opportunity as training coordinator and public/guest relations. With more than 30 years of hospitality experience (27 years in leadership and 25 years as a general manager for a major hotel chain), Katrece looks forward to bringing her customer service skills and hospitable demeanor to our practice.
Katrece serves as Dr. Alijanian’s marketing and training coordinator for the practice, helps to plan and facilitates our SPEAR meetings and runs the Centurion Dental Practi(CE)nter. Continuing education is an important part of the industry, and she is ecstatic to be a part of the teaching/learning experience for doctors who choose to accept learning experiences from Dr. Alijanian. She is extremely passionate about great customer service and is excited to learn more about the dental industry. Katrece looks forward to working with all doctors who will learn, observe and partner with Dr. Alijanian for All-on-4® implant procedures and cases.
When Katrece is not in the office, you can find her walking with her two dogs, spending time with her family (especially her daughter and granddaughter), attending church and serving as a member of the usher ministry. She loves to serve the Lord alongside the patients at our practice. Katrece looks forward to serving you as well. Katrece became a member of the American Association of Dental Office Managers, in 2021 which is the nation’s largest educational and networking association dedicated to serving dental practice management professionals.

Leah
Certified Oral Surgery Assistant
I initially joined Dr. Alijanian’s team in 2012 as a sterilization assistant and was inspired to further my education in the dental field by attending Loma Vista Dental Assisting Program. I graduated in 2015 and had the opportunity to return to Dr. Alijanian’s team as a surgical assistant. I am blessed to have a wonderful husband, a beautiful daughter and an awesome family that keeps me grounded.

Racquel
Certified Surgical Assistant
I have been with Dr. Alijanian since 2021. I am lucky to have met a doctor who motivates me to achieve my goals. I am honored to be part of a team that strives for excellence and has fun while doing it. I enjoy caring for our patients and seeing them walk out with a smile on their face. When I am out of the office, you can find me at Target or Home Goods, going for walks, and spending time with loved ones.

Ashley
Certified Surgical Assistant
I am very fortunate to have started my journey in such a prestigious office. My experience in this office has been nothing but good! One of my goals, along with the rest of the Dr. Alijanian team, is to make every patient feel welcomed, safe and heard. During my free time, I enjoy playing soccer and spending quality time with my loved ones.

Alyssa
Certified Surgical Assistant
I have had the privilege of working with Dr. Alijanian since 2016, fresh out of my dental assisting program. I knew how great of a doctor he was, so I made it my mission to be a part of the practice. During my almost five years with him, I learned so much and being a part of this practice has helped me grow as an assistant and person. I left the dental field to pursue schooling in a different field. Recently though, I am now back as a part of the A team. Nothing made my heart quite as happy as doing what I love here as an assistant and I am thankful to be back. I look forward to assisting you!
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my daughter, going on road trips, and being in nature.

Jada

I greatly appreciate him and our team for not only how genuine and caring they are, but also how passionate everyone is. I love an environment where people can leave with more confidence and feel better about themselves. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with loved ones, being active, and shopping.
