Our Difference-makers
It is very rare to find a team with so much experience and such a passion for dentistry. Our ambition is for each patient to view dentistry in a positive light (and not just from the dental lamps) whenever they visit our dental family.

Esther Sonnenburg
Front Office / Insurance Coordinator
My husband Dennis and I, along with our children, have lived in San Diego for over 24 years. I have enjoyed working with Dr. Joe and his professional team for over ten years now.
Working in the front office gives me the opportunity to greet you and help you with any questions you may have. My goal is to make sure your visit is a pleasant one. I look forward to helping you keep your smile beautiful.
On my free time I enjoy outdoor activities, especially biking in Europe, indoor spin classes and walks with my dog, but most of all being a grandma!
