Meet the Team

Ariel - Registered Dental Assistant

staff I love helping our patients with all their dental needs. Even the most fearful patients soon learn that this is an office where they have nothing to worry about. Dr. Cheong is so gentle and patient with each person he treats, talking with and reassuring them that they will feel nothing during the process. I assist Dr. Cheong chairside while he’s caring for patients. I make sure he has everything he needs at hand. I am always focused on our patients, checking in to see that they are comfortable, and explaining what the doctor is doing as well as how much progress has been made. I’m always available to answer patients’ questions about their dental care. I educate our patients about the different dental procedures, how they work, and why they are important in terms of restoring great oral health. When I’m not at the office, you’ll find me spending time with my family, including my husband, Angel, our two sons, and two daughters. I love sports and enjoy outdoor activities.

Martha - Insurance & Billing Coordinator

staff

I have been with the practice for 18 years and have had the opportunity to really get to know those we care for and serve. I am in charge of all billing matters, perform the record keeping, and schedule appointments. My banking background enables me to bring a wealth of knowledge in record keeping to our office. I am the back office receptionist and also assist our team members with all insurance issues pertaining to our patients’ care and treatment. I am also bilingual and assist our patients and team members with translating information to keep our office running smoothly and patients feeling at ease. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, son, grandchildren, and family.

Ariana - Registered Dental Hygienist

I am a resident of Visalia, Ca and graduated from San Joaquin Valley College in 2003 with an Associates Degree in Dental Hygiene. Years later I decided to further my healthcare education, and received my degree in Registered Nursing from College of the Sequoias in 2010. After obtaining my license, I worked briefly at a convalescent home. Helping patients achieve and maintain an optimal level of oral health has always been my passion, which is why I decided to work full time as a hygienist. In my spare time, I hit the gym and spend time with my pit bull baby. I'm so thankful for my second family at Dr. Cheong's office, and love seeing new faces in our office.
