Claire Dizon Level II Dental Assistant

Originally a psychology graduate in her native Philippines, Claire switched to studying to become a dental assistant because of the difficulty to get dental care access in the region where she grew up. She hopes to one day return to her stomping grounds and help the community by educating and providing treatment to those that can't afford it.

Now a fully certified level II dental assistant since 2022, Claire joins us here at PA and we couldn't be happier. Her understanding of the different personalities of our patients has proven to be a great asset when it comes to providing the best treatment for anyone that walks through our practice's doors.

"Every day is a learning process and I love it" Claire has said about the ever-challenging environment of a multi-disciplinary dental practice.

In her spare time Claire loves to cook, spend time with her kids, play volleyball, and is an avid fan of podcasts.
