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.

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.

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.
