I’ve been working with Lorena for almost a year, and she has brought so much to the Reno team. She demonstrates warmth, patience, and kindness to every patient in her chair. Lorena is extremely attentive, creating a comfortable, inviting experience for patients of all ages—whether they’re children, teens or adults. Her communication and patient education are greatly appreciated. Above all, she does everything with such compassion, and the patients truly benefit from having her as their assistant. Every time I hear her speaking with our patients, I am reminded of how grateful I am to have her on our team, providing exceptional care. Thank you, Lorena!
