Office Manager

Meet Our Experienced Office Manager for Your Dental Needs!

Hello there! I'm Franceska G and I'm thrilled to be the Office Manager at Diamond Dental. With over a decade of dedicated experience in the dental field, I've had the privilege of witnessing the transformative power of healthy smiles and exceptional patient care. For the past year, I've had the honor of managing our dental office, ensuring that every aspect of our practice runs seamlessly.

My journey in the dental world began over ten years ago, and I've been deeply committed to providing top-notch administrative support ever since. My extensive experience has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the unique demands of a dental office, from appointment scheduling and patient coordination to billing and insurance claims. I take pride in my ability to create a welcoming environment for our patients, where their comfort and care are paramount.

In addition to my professional achievements, I'm a proud parent to two wonderful kids who constantly remind me of the importance of patience, empathy, and effective communication – qualities that translate seamlessly into my role as an Office Manager. Being bilingual allows me to connect with a diverse range of patients, ensuring that everyone feels valued and understood.

Outside of the dental office, I lead a fulfilling life as an avid reader and a devoted partner to my loving husband and two kids. I believe that balance is essential, so when I'm not immersed in the world of dental management, you'll often find me engrossed in a captivating book or cherishing quality time with my family.

My goal at Diamond Dental is to create a seamless and enjoyable experience for both our patients and our dedicated dental team. I'm here to ensure that your visits are efficient, comfortable, and well-organized, allowing our skilled professionals to focus solely on your dental health.

Thank you for entrusting us with your smiles, and I look forward to welcoming you to our dental family at Diamond Dental

Warmly,

Franceska G, Manager

I wish I had found this place a long time ago. I have such anxiety of going to the dentist due to past experiences. They made me feel so comfortable from the moment I walked in. Dr. V and George are such caring and compassionate people. I left feeling great and can’t wait till my next visit.
