Meet the Staff

---

Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience.

Elizabeth is our Director of Customer Relations and Billing Coordinator. She serves as a liaison between patients, clinical and support team, and the billing department. Her passion comes from a family full of dental techs. She explains that she remembers family dinner conversations were never like any others, and how hers consisted of oral surgery, orthodontic, and general dentistry treatment stories. When she was finally old enough, she was excited for her first summer job in a dental office, and has enjoyed the dental industry since. She has a bachelor’s degree in business and, upon graduation, she was recognized by the International Honor Society in Business. We are honored to have Elizabeth’s talent, knowledge, and sincere passion as an essential component of our team’s approach to excellent customer relations.

Sarah is our Front Office Manager. Her objective is to provide the dental office with extra support as needed. With a bachelor’s degree in computer science, she plays a key part in tech support, marketing/advertising, and managing patient accounts. She works closely with Elizabeth to answer any patient questions about billing, financial payment options, and scheduling. 

Victor has been Dr. Agarwal’s Orthodontic Registered Dental Assistant for nearly a decade. As the doctor’s right-hand man, Victor is very detail-oriented, time-efficient, and an essential part of our team. He is also fluent in Spanish to help translate for those in need.

Hope is our wonderful Registered Dental Hygienist from Texas! As a professional, her objective is to serve people and to promote the health and wellness of her patients through dental hygiene. Hope’s core belief as a hygienist is: If the patients do not understand what is causing the problem, then how can they determine how to stop it? The average person has not been educated to understand their own mouth; only told what to buy, don’t eat sugar, and that they need to floss. Patients find themselves confused about what products to use and feel guilty after being scolded in the dental chair. The problem hasn’t gotten any better, so let’s change it and actually let our patients know what is really going on in their mouth. She takes great pride in her gentle patient care and creating a relationship with each of her patients. Her beautiful smile and empathetic nature make it easy for patients to feel comfortable and at ease building confidence, trust, and friendship. She can be flexible with her patients by being available for earlier and later hours to help them with the busy-ness of life.

As a team, we feel that our time here at Newport Mesa and Family Dentistry truly gives us a purpose and allows us to see improvement in the lives and smiles of our patients. We are pleased to welcome you and your family, and we look forward to working with you!
