Jean S.
Hygiene Coordinator
I have spent my working career in the customer-centric industry, helping to make life better for people just like you. I found Dr. Colleran’s office as a new patient when I moved to Avila Beach from Salt Lake City, last year. My experience with him and the team was beyond exceptional so when I was asked to join the practice as a team member, I said YES, and I am so glad I did.
When I’m not at work, you can find me exploring the central coast with family and friends, riding my beach cruiser, on my paddle board and reading a good book in the sunshine.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you take excellent care of your dental health.

Denisse R.
Registered Dental Hygienist
Visiting the dentist was one of my favorite things when I was a little girl. I know, right? Who enjoys the dentist? I do! I graduated from dental hygiene school in 2020, I thought it would never end having to go through school through a pandemic was tough. These days I am committed to providing a positive experience for patients and spend a life long journey of learning about the oral cavity so that I can always accommodate treatment to each patient's needs.
When I am not at work I enjoy beach days, playing soccer, reading, hiking, and going to the gym. I was born and raised on the central coast and I am looking forward to meet locals and those who arent local but have chosen the beautiful central coast as their home. Come see us!

Mikaela R.
Dental Assistant
I have lived in San Luis Obispo since 2018, and I am proud to call SLO-CO home. I was a Stay-At-Home-Mom for three years, but I have worked in the dental field since 19, starting as Dental Sterilization Technician while going to school. I moved to Santa Barbara and worked front office presenting Treatment Plans and Coordinating times for future treatment. I enjoy all aspects of my job as a dental assistant, but the most rewarding thing is sharing empathy and compassion with my patients. It brings me joy to give our patients confidence and educate them on why it is essential to keep a healthy smile. I enjoy interior decorating in my spare time and spending time with my family on the beach.
