The Amazing and Caring Team at Advanced Smiles by Dr. Sood
Maritza
I’ve worked with Dr. Sood as a dental receptionist since 2015 and love being part of Dr. Sood’s team, where I developed a passion for helping patients feel comfortable and cared for. As a dental receptionist, I enjoy building relationships with patients.
I’m a proud parent of three amazing kids who keep life full, busy, and exciting. When I get a quiet moment, you’ll usually find me enjoying a good TV show and cheering on the New York Yankees.
Vanesa
I have had the privilege of working alongside Dr. Sood as a dental assistant since 2011 when I started my dental career. One of my favorite parts of my job is connecting with patients and helping them feel confident, relaxed and at ease throughout their treatment. I especially enjoy working with Invisalign and cosmetic dentistry. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a smile transform and watching a patient’s confidence grow.
When I’m not in the office, you can find me spending quality time with my family and making memories with my son. I’m a big Chicago Cubs fan and I’m always up for a good concert.
