Meet Our Dental Team Santa Fe
Our Reliable Team
Have you ever visited a dentist and every six months you’re being greeted by new staff members that don’t know your name? That’s not the case at Juniper Dental. Our small but mighty dental team in Santa Fe is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and dedicated to personalizing each of our patients’ visits. We invite you to read a little more about them below.
Iris, Dental Assistant
Iris says that the best thing about her job is that she gets to help others maintain healthy smiles. Her primary goal is to provide top-quality dental care to all our patients and ensure they feel comfortable and at ease during their visits. She understands that going to the dentist can sometimes be an anxiety-inducing experience, and she strives to create a welcoming and friendly environment for each individual who walks through our doors.
Bilingual in English and Spanish, Iris studied at Santa Fe Community College. On the weekends, you’ll often find her playing soccer in a local league, exercising, and hanging out with her family.
Valeria, Registered Dental Hygienist
Valeria recently joined the team! Originally from Nuevo Casas Grandes in Chihuahua, Mexico, she moved to the U.S. at age 11. Valeria brings over four years of experience in the dental field, starting as a dental assistant. She holds certifications in Laser treatment, Local Anesthesia, CPR, OSHA, and HIPAA. She studied at Santa Fe Community College and San Juan College. Passionate about creating smiles and helping people, Valeria finds her role profoundly fulfilling. Outside work, she enjoys soccer, hiking, and watching NM United and the Isotopes games. She loves animals and values time with her family and friends.
Alyssa, Patient Care Coordinator
Alyssa joined our practice in summer 2025, and she’ll be the friendly voice you hear on the phone as well as the smiling face that greets you in our office. She loves how her position allows her to meet so many patients, answer their questions, and take advantage of their insurance.
Originally from Hobbs and raised in Santa Fe, Alyssa spends most of her free time with her large, loving family. Otherwise, you might find her taking her two dogs for walks or relaxing on the couch watching a crime documentary.
