Karen
Registered Dental Hygienist
Before joining Dr. Buzza's team in 1994, I graduated from the University of California San Francisco Dental Hygiene program in 1990. To provide the highest level of care for all our dental office patients, I'm soft tissue laser certified and regularly take advanced courses to keep up on the latest dental techniques and therapies. I'm also an instructor at Santa Rosa Junior College where I teach clinical Dental Hygiene. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my boyfriend Keith, and my dog Josie. I play competitive soccer and enjoy golf, camping, and travel.
Renee
Registered Dental Hygienist
First, I was a patient at Dr. Buzza's office. My family started coming here in 1996 and we immediately felt confident that we were receiving superior dentistry and a superior amount of compassion. When I chose a career in dental hygiene, I hoped to work at an office with the same quality of care. I'm very proud and fortunate to be a part of Dr. Buzza's team. I strive to offer personalized care in a warm family environment. When I'm not working, I enjoy the outdoors. I love cycling, backpacking, camping, and travel. Although I was born and raised here in Santa Rosa, I've traveled all over the world. And every time I return home, I'm even more grateful to be able to live and work in such a beautiful part of the world.
Kerri
Registered Dental Hygienist
We are so thrilled to have Kerri as a part of our hygiene crew! With being a Sonoma County native and involved heavily with the community, Kerri already knows so many of our patients. She brings the perfect can-do attitude to our practice and knows how to make all our patients feel right at home. She has a very caring, considerate nature. Kerri enjoys local hangouts and socializing with her friends, she enjoys the outdoors, and country lifestyle.
Lindy
Registered Dental Assistant
As a recent graduate of the Santa Rosa Junior College Dental Assisting Program, I had the opportunity to intern in several dental practices. I have always had the desire to work in the dental field, but it was also important to me that I work in a great environment. Dr. Buzza made me feel at home and I see that same approach with everyone that walks through our door. I'm proud to be on this team! When I'm home, I love spending time with my husband and three wonderful children, Bailey, Chloe, and Wyatt. I enjoy working out, running, playing softball, camping, and anything outdoors.

Francisco
New Patient Back Office Coordinator
My friends call me Pax, my nickname was given to me when I started working in the dental field in 2015 as a sterile technician. As a New Patient Coordinator, I’ve found my niche. I love helping patients get the smile they’ve always wanted and assisting the doctor in new patient exams. When having complex treatment plans, I really listen to what the patient’s expectations are. Dental is not first nature to most people, so it is my goal to make patient experiences as easy and comfortable as possible. In my spare time I enjoy being out in the fresh air on adventures with my friends and spending quality time with my family.
