Meet Our New Insurance Coordinator Tasaya

Being an insurance coordinator isn’t for the faint of heart. That’s why our patients can rely on Tasaya to help them navigate the complex world of dental insurance. She’s got your back.

Tasaya considers dental care the underdog of the medical health world, and was drawn to it early on. How early? She completed a Dental Arts program during her senior year of high school. That’s dedication!

Now, 10+ years later, as a seasoned pro, she’s making a difference for our patients every day by being their advocate and liaison with insurance companies, ensuring patients receive the full benefits they’re entitled to, while reducing the financial confusion and stress.
