We have been serving the dental needs of our community since 1972. Our practice has grown exclusively through the referrals and kind words of our patients.

At the conclusion of this visit, we will discuss your treatment options and formulate a treatment plan. This appointment takes about an hour. The next step is normally an appointment with one of our Registered Dental Hygienists for a complete periodontal (gum and bone) evaluation. A dental cleaning is usually a part of the plan unless periodontal issues are noted that this visit. We have found that this is the best way to get to know our new patients, what they want and need, and how we can best provide treatment.

Marla has been instrumental in designing our home-like atmosphere as well as setting up the systems that keep our office running in an efficient manner. If ever a problem arises that our patients or staff need extra help with, Marla is the person to go to.
Marla has been married for fourteen years to her high school sweetheart, Eric. She and Eric have two daughters. Allie is four years old and Lauren, who is two. They are the love of Eric and Marla's lives. Marla has been actively involved in Allie's preschool and when not working enjoys cooking, baking, decorating, gardening and general homemaking. Marla and her family moved to a new home in 2005 and have been busy remodeling it to fit their needs.
Terry Carter, Patient Coordinator
Terry is the first person that you meet when entering or calling our office. She has been working with us since 2000, but worked with Dr. Dale Glasco prior to our purchasing his practice, for over 20 years. Terry has two grown children and one brand new granddaughter. Her daughter, Kristie is a dental hygienist in Monterey and is married to a General Contractor. Kristie and Bret are thrilled with the arrival of their first child, Delaney Catherine, on April 7th. Terry's son, Mark married his long time sweetheart, Hillary last summer. Mark works in the technology field at the Naval Post Graduate School and Hillary works in the produce industry. When not working, Terry enjoys spending time with friends and family, hiking, shopping, dining out, going to the movies or just generally enjoying life. Terry is one of the most energetic, positive and enthusiastic people that you will ever meet. We are very fortunate to have her as our "office concierge".
Nicole Echeverri, Financial Coordinator
Nicole has been working with us since 2001. She started working in our office as a registered dental assistant and then in 2004 moved to a position at the reception desk and has come to be in charge of handling all patient insurance issues and financial matters. Nicole is very detail oriented and excellent at helping our patients make the most of their dental insurance benefits, while offering creative financing options. Nicole met her husband, Allan in 1986 and they were married in 1990. Nicole and Allan have one daughter. Nichelle is fifteen years old and is a freshman at Salinas High School. She absolutely loves all things volleyball. When not working, Nicole enjoys spending time with her family, RVing, water-skiing, riding quads and generally enjoying the outdoors. Nicole is one of the most versatile people that you will know and has done a great job of educating herself on dental insurance and finance. We are very fortunate to have her as a key member of our team.
