In the ongoing effort to increase access to care, CHC Dental continues to grow. We have added a provider and a new office in San Luis Obispo, along with three new employees!CHC is thrilled that Dr. Paul Walker has decided to join our staff. Dr. Walker attended the University of Florida Dental School in Gainesville, FL. After graduation in 2001, he joined the Air Force and completed his General Practice Residency at Vandenberg Air Force Base. Following starting a private practice in Arroyo Grande, Dr. Walker now cares for our patients at CHC Santa Maria II and CHC Lompoc.
ATTENTION Employees: We now have dental care in San Luis Obispo! My dental practice at 878 Boysen Ave. (near New Frontiers Grocery) is the newest addition to the CHC network. This is a private office, and offers our employees a relaxing place for treatment.
Also joining the fold are Office Manager Teryn Kelley, Dental Assistant Nancy Jordan, and Dental Hygienist Mandy Daniels. Teryn has managed the SLO office for the past two-and-a-half years. Call her at (805) 544-9440 to make an appointment. Nancy has been my assistant for over a year-and-a-half. Nancy is a career dental assistant, and her welcoming smile and friendly personality will help put you at ease. Mandy is our newest hygienist, and a recent graduate of Carrillo School of Hygiene.
Dr. Malia Johnson is now available at CHC SLO Dental on Thursdays and Fridays. Any employee that makes a new appointment with Dr. Johnson in SLO will be entered in a drawing for a free teeth whitening!
Nipomo Dental Assistants Patricia Hernandez and Mia Valdoz recently attended a “1st Smiles Training” in Santa Ynez. Under the direction of Dr. Johnson, and with help from Dental assistant Dora Gallegoes, the group began Fluoride Varnish Training. They will be participating in the Pediatric F Varnish Campaign throughout SLO County. The Dental Department hopes to have all CHC Pediatricians participating in the fluoride varnish program for their young patients.
Finally, we wish to welcome Hygienist Esthela Castro in Santa Maria and Dental Assistant Josh Mendivar in Templeton. Recent hires Esthela and Josh wasted no time getting started by participating in the Oceano Health Fair. Esthela and Josh teamed up to provide hygiene instruction and Fluoride varnish to almost a 100 youngsters.
Please help me in welcoming our newest members to the CHC Dental team!
