Sabrina Barillas
Financial Administrator
As the Financial Administrator, I help make dental care more affordable by maximizing insurance benefits and offering flexible payment options. My goal is to make your experience stress-free and ensure you get the care you need.
Fun fact: I once planned to work for an airline and travel the world, but I wasn’t old enough to serve drinks! I took a job in dentistry just to pass the time, but I fell in love with it and never looked back.
Suzanne Adams
Patient Care Coordinator
With over 32 years in dentistry, my journey started in Tucson in 1993 with Dr. Harvey and later continued in California, where I worked in pediatric dentistry for 23 years. Returning to Tucson in 2019, I was honored to rejoin Dr. Harvey’s team before his retirement and now proudly work with Dr. Patel.
As a Patient Care Coordinator, I ensure smooth communication and a welcoming experience for every patient. Outside of work, I love traveling, hiking, dancing, and capturing heart-shaped cacti in the desert.
Amy Yates
Dental Hygienist
I’ve been a dental hygienist for over 20 years, and I love helping people keep their smiles healthy. Working in a periodontal office, I focus on gentle, thorough care and teaching patients how to improve their oral health.
I appreciate the little things in life (like a beautiful sunrise on my way to work!). Outside the office, I enjoy riding horses, reading, and spending time with my family, friends, and dogs. I also love being outdoors and getting creative.
Lara Acosta
Dental Hygienist
I’ve been helping people improve their oral health for over 25 years. I believe small changes in dental care can make a big difference, and I love teaching patients how to protect their smiles.
I grew up in Yuma and married my childhood sweetheart 33 years ago. We raised three wonderful daughters who are all proud Wildcat fans. Outside of work, I enjoy swimming, walking my dogs, and refinishing furniture. I love Tucson’s beautiful sunsets, starry skies, and purple mountains… It’s the perfect place to call home.
Eva Reyerson

Hi, I’m Eva! I’ve been a dental hygienist for over 17 years, and I love helping patients take care of their smiles. My goal is to make every visit comfortable and give patients the knowledge they need to improve their oral health. The best part of my job is building relationships with my patients.
When I’m not at work, I volunteer at my kids’ school and stay involved in their marching band. I also enjoy traveling, photography, and figuring out how to garden in the desert. Fun fact: I’ve lived in four countries and visited 16!
Elizabeth Valenzuela
Surgical Dental Assistant
I’ve always been fascinated by how oral health affects overall health, which led me to a career in dentistry. As a dental assistant, I help patients with gum disease by assisting with deep cleanings and teaching them how to care for their teeth.
I love making patients feel at ease and confident about their smiles. Fun fact: My birthday is on the 4th of July, so I always get fireworks on my special day!
Melissa Lopez
Surgical Dental Assistant
I’m a Tucson native and started my dental career at Carrington College. After working in general dentistry for five years, I discovered my passion for periodontal assisting in 2014. I first worked with Dr. Harvey and now proudly continue with Dr. Patel.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my four kids. I’m a soccer mom to three boys (including twins!) and support my daughter in Judo. Fun fact: I love designing fun nail art every month — our patients enjoy seeing the new designs!
