Gina

Front Office/Patient Care Coordinator
I have lived in Humboldt County most of my life and enjoy many of the outdoor activities our area has to offer. I love hiking, fishing, camping and am also a Zumba fitness instructor with two beautiful daughters. I enjoy meeting all our wonderful patients and getting to know so many great families in our community. It's a pleasure to help make it possible for them to get the dental care they need. I coordinate patient benefits, billing matters, schedule patients, and am otherwise here to make sure everything runs smoothly in the financial aspect of the practice.

Eva

Registered Dental Hygienist
I enjoy working at Growing Smiles Dentistry because it is important to me that children get early dental care. My hope is to motivate children through education and demonstration thereby leading to good oral hygiene practices that result in healthy teeth and gums throughout their lifetime.
