Judy
New Patient Treatment Coordinator
Hi, my name is Judy. I was born in Mexico and raised in San Jose. I am married and a mother of two wonderful boys and one beautiful girl. I have been a registered dental assistant (RDA) since 1995 and worked in orthodontics since 1999 with Dr. Rafati. It has been a pleasure to work with Dr. Rafati and learn from her.
What I love most about orthodontics is seeing our patients developing a beautiful smile. Orthodontics has been great to me personally and I can see how great it is for our patients. I hope to see you soon!
