Tabatha Gallegos, DA

Tabatha (Dental Assistant/Front Office)

I became interested in dentistry because my smile has always been my favorite feature and you’ll always see me wearing one.  It is also very important  to me as I saw the dental work completed on my family members that made an enormous impact in their lives. I plan to complete my dental assistant studies by the end of 2021.  When I am not working I love to spend time with my friends and with my family. I enjoy roller skating, biking and reading in my free time
