Her dedication to personal growth and her enthusiasm for teamwork help make her an important part of the Oak Ridge Dental family.
Liz, Treatment Coordinator
One of Liz’s favorite things about her job is being able to meet so many of our amazing patients while helping them achieve their healthiest and brightest smiles. Originally from Concord, she went to study at Los Medanos College and has undergone extensive training in various areas, including dental administration, managing patient scheduling, verifying insurance eligibility, and billing processes.
Whenever she isn’t at the office, Liz loves spending time with her family and loved ones. Her hobbies involve shopping, playing video games, and traveling around the world, especially Japan! One interesting fact about her: she prefers enjoying a home-cooked meal rather than going out.
Sadaf, Registered Dental Hygienist
Sadaf attended dental school in Pakistan (where she was a dentist) and has been working in the profession for over 15 years. She loves meeting and helping people every day and considers herself to be a perfectionist when it comes to our patient’s teeth.
Sadaf is the proud mom of three children as well as a beautiful cat. When she isn’t relaxing with them, you’ll often find her organizing her home or decorating!
Linda, Registered Dental Assistant
Linda has been an important member of our team for over five years now, and she has over 30 years of experience in the dental field overall! In addition to earning her registered dental assistant license at Alameda College, she obtained her extended functions license at the University of Pacific in 2016. For her, the best thing about her job is educating patients on how to take care of their teeth and being a part of creating beautiful smiles.
Linda is married and has four children. As a family, they love hiking on trails and going to the beach. She also uses her time outside the office to shop, sew, and arrange flowers!
