Office Manager, Front Office
I enjoy seeing how happy patients are with the lovely dental results they accomplish by working with Dr. Ramus. I joined the practice in 2007, having started in the dental field in 1991, and love being part of this incredible team. Dr. Ramus is an excellent, skilled dentist with incredible integrity. He sets a relaxed, peaceful tone for the practice and our team follows his lead.
I greet and schedule patients, present and explain treatment plans, collect payments, and process insurance. I also handle HR, including interviewing potential employees and organizing staff meetings.
In my free time, I enjoy hiking the many beautiful trails in Los Angeles. I love to cook when I have time to try new recipes and like going to the movies, too. I have two grown daughters. One is very independent and the other calls me every day, which I love. I am proud of the young women they have become: they both contribute to society with positive attitudes toward life and others.

I enjoy working closely with patients as they improve their oral health and achieve a smile they love. Seeing someone move from being unhealthy and disliking their smile to having a functional smile is inspiring. I started working in the dental field in 1977, graduated as a dentist in the Philippines in 1983, and became an RDA in 1991. I joined Dr. Ramus and our team in 2002 and love working in a cheerful, supportive office. Dr. Ramus is honest, caring, knowledgeable, and always does what’s best for our patient.
I greet and seat patients, preparing them for their procedure. Then I stay chairside, assisting Dr. Ramus. I am also our office supply coordinator.
My weekends are often spent gardening: I love flowers! My husband, Fredy, works as a mail carrier for the post office. I also have two daughters: the oldest is in a doctoral program in Clinical Psychology at The Wright Institute and the youngest is at CSUN studying Kinesiology.

I like seeing patients regain health and smile, confidently, again! It’s fulfilling to help people improve their lives and become their friends in the process. I started working in the dental field in 1999 and found my professional home here in 2012. We have a very happy environment and Dr. Ramus genuinely cares about his patients. He’s an amazing dentist and takes time with each.
I work in the clinic, providing chairside assistance to Dr. Ramus during procedures while supporting our patient.
My high school sweetheart and I married almost 20 years ago. We have four beautiful children and our weekends are centered around the soccer field and enjoying our time together. I also like volunteering at my twins’ school on Fridays.
