Oscar Patzan, RDAEF

Registered Dental Assistant

Our Lead Dental Assistant. Oscar is passionate about dentistry and is very skilled in many areas. His favorite thing about dentistry is the diversity of specialties he’s been able to work in. Outside of work, Oscar spends his time with his wife, Jessica, and their adorable maltipoo, Nene who keeps them busy! They have two children- Stephanie and Oscar. He is an artist and likes to sculpt, paint and draw, and grow bonsai trees. He also surprised us when he told us he is a tattoo artist! If he could have any superpower it would be healing. We are grateful to have such a talented and kind assistant!

Outside of work, Christy enjoys walks, hydrating (ask her about her water bottle!), and travelling around the Bay Area in search of the best food. Her favorite quote is “Eat cake for breakfast” and she has been known to order her dessert first! We love having Christy here- she is an incredibly caring individual and works tirelessly to help everyone’s day go as smoothly as possible. She brightens everyone’s day with her thoughtfulness and bubbling laughter.
