Christina Vosburgh

Treatment Coordinator

My name is Christina and have been in the dental field since 2015. What I enjoy the most about my job is seeing all of our patients! I wouldn’t be able to do what I love, without them. It’s easy to wear a smile to work every day when you really genuinely love what you do!

When I’m not at work, my husband and I love to go to the desert or go to dog beach with our fur baby, who always keeps us busy.

Testimonials

I met Dr. Kashou for the first time this week since Dr. Brant retired. He is professional, approachable and has an act for dental education for his patients. I would recommend others to go.

I have been going to this dental office for a decade. Dr. Brant is a solid professional. His dental assistants are all top-drawer, and the office staff is helpful and kind. Would recommend.

I highly recommend. I am very pleased with every aspect of my experience. The Dr. and staff are very professional and friendly. The work they did is beautiful. Dr. Kashou is very knowledgeable and explained each step of the process as well.

We have been taking our large family here for years and absolutely love Dr Brandt and all the hygienists and staff. They keep all appointments on time, are professional and courteous, and are great with kids.
