Wendy Lara, DDS – “I love being able to take people out of pain, seeing them hurting when they first come in, then seeing their face change when they have relief and feel restored.
“My mom is very nervous about dental care and I would never want anyone to hurt her or make her feel badly. So I treat my patients as I want my mom to be treated. I hope to give them a comfortable experience that increases their function and esthetics. If patients feel comfortable, everything is easier. So I use my ability to put people at ease to enhance their dental experience.”
