Hi, I’m Omayra. I have been working with Dr. Cardenas since 2010 and have worked in the dental field since 2006. I started off as a Certified Dental Assistant, followed by continuing my education for Orthodontics and grew my knowledge into becoming the Office Manager bringing a diverse work background to the practice. I am fluent in both Spanish and English. I love working with patients and their parents to help achieve their dream smile. I was born in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. I love spending time with my family on the weekends. My kids Ali and Tani are a very important part of my life.

Hi, I’m Kim, and I have worked in the orthodontic field since 2005. I enjoy playing a role in creating beautiful smiles. My primary goal is to make the first visit as enjoyable and informative as possible. I strive to make every patient smile and laugh, and go above and beyond to ensure that all new patients have a clear understanding of the value of orthodontic treatment. I was born in Hudson, NY and grew up in Germantown, NY. In my spare time, I love to travel and to spend time with my family and friends, and also my labradoodle Zambo.

Hello, my name is Roza and I have been in the orthodontic industry since 2003 and with Dr. Cardenas since 2007. I am the clinical coordinator of the practice.

Hi, I’m Rebeca, I was born in Detroit, MI. I speak Romanian fluently and have 6 brothers and a sister. I’m married to my wonderful husband Stefan and we have a beautiful daughter, Josephina. I enjoy being with my family and friends, especially with my daughter. I enjoy outdoor activities, going to the beach, and traveling. I have been working as a dental assistant since 2012. I graduated from Everest Institute. I started at a pediatric dental practice and worked my way up to an orthodontic assistant. I chose orthodontics because I became inspired to make positive changes in people’s self esteem and that all started with a smile! I want to be part of that positive encouragement to smile. I have been working with Dr. Cardenas since May, 2018. Dr. Cardenas is an amazing orthodontist and I continue to work with him on creating beautiful new smiles and positive attitudes to the practice!

Hi, I’m Milo. I was born in Detroit, Michigan on May 20th, 2019. I flew from Detroit on August 2019 to meet my forever family who I love immensely. My sister’s Camila and Laura spoil me all the time. My brother Santi loves to play catch with me. My favorite pass time is to chew on my Mommy’s shoes. Mommy and daddy make sure I have eaten all my food every day! This is not a problem for me because I love to eat! My favorite fruit is blueberries! In my free time I get to spend time with my cousin Teddy Bear and we have lots of fun together. I speak both English and Spanish. I am very lucky to have such a great family. Please remember to always SMILE!

Hi, I’m Kobi. I am a proud second generation Asian- American. My dad immigrated from Nepal and my mom, from China many years ago. I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. I joined the practice of Dr. Cardenas in 2017 because I love to communicate and make people smile! I love to travel the world, learning new languages, reading, running and hiking. My favorite food is my mom’s bamboo salad and all kind of fruits, but berry biscuits are my weakness. I would like to visit some relatives in the Himalayan Mountains in the next years to know more about the culture of my ancestors.
