Staff
Office Manager / Patient Coordinator
Yisel grew up in Southern California and moved to the PNW in 2013. She joined our office group in 2017. Her dental career began at the age of 19 working as a chairside assistant. She has since spent many years learning all aspects and roles of a dental office. In 2008, Yisel took a break from dental to pursue another passion as a licensed Esthetician. Both careers have many similarities in that, to be successful, they both require the personal gift of compassion. She shines, professing that the best part of her job is building trust, building confidence, making people feel good about themselves and assuring they are receiving the best care possible. When she is not working, you will find her doing makeup artistry, fashion modeling and working on her personal blog. Thank you Yisel, for bringing your positivity to our caregiving arena!

Alicja Bae
Registered Dental Hygienist
I moved from Poland in 1996 to pursue my version of “American Dream.” I graduated from Lake Washington Institute of Technology with an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Dental Hygiene in 2013. Since then I am working as a dental hygienist providing gentle, yet effective treatment in oral health. I am certified in local anesthesia, administration of Nitrous-Oxide as well as CPR. I volunteer at Seattle King County Clinic to give back to community by helping those in need and I am very thankful for this experience. In my spare time I love traveling domestically and internationally, playing chess or watching movies. However, most of all, I cherish spending time with my two children, boyfriend and two dogs.
