Meet the Team old

Christine Paulino: Patient Services Manager, RDA (Registered Dental Assistant)

I graduated at the Dental Assisting Program at College of Alameda in 2008 and started working here at Piedmont Dental by Design right after graduation. I worked as an assistant for many years until recently I have transitioned up front to work as Patient Services Manager. My many years in the back caring for patients chair side has helped me in my new role of Patient Services Manager in helping educate patients on their oral health and I have a better understanding of how the practice works together front and back. When I am not at work I enjoy spending time with my husband and kids at family get-togethers, camping, and visiting fun places.

I began working at the front desk in January 2012 as the Patient Services Manager and transitioned to the Financial/Business Manager August 2014. I have over 20 years of front office experience in the dental field . I enjoy working with patients and helping them in anyway that I can. I have been married for many years and we have a young daughter, Angelina.  When I'm not in the office, I take my daughter to her sporting events and play dates with her cousins. I love spending time with my large family, taking photos of them, and visiting fun places.

I am a registered dental hygienist and have been working for Piedmont Dental by Design since 1999.  I truly have a passion for my profession and love educating patients about their oral health. On my time off I enjoy spending time with my husband and two sons . We enjoy outdoor events such as boating , swimming  and  hiking. My sons play sports such as soccer , basketball and baseball so we spend a lot of times at games and practice .  I also enjoy kickboxing and working out.

I have been a Registered Dental Hygienist for twelve years. Throughout those twelve years I have had the pleasure of working with Dr.Herrero and Dr.Martenson here at Piedmont Dental by Design and plan to continue for at least another twelve.  Everyone here is a loved member of my second family.  I suppose you could say it’s my home away from home.  I have been married to my wonderful husband, Ron, for 6 years.  We have known each other since we were teenagers and actually dated for a few months back then.  Ron is a Team Lead/PC technician for Blue Shield of California and the owner of Pacific Coast Computer Solutions.  Together we love outdoor activities such as hiking, jet skiing, 4-wheeling and taking road trips and camping with our 40ft 5th wheel.  We’ll leave the tent camping to the younger crowd!!   We share 6 children together; 3 girls and 3 boys.  It’s kind of like “The Brady Bunch” except there are 5 grandchildren in the mix of this menagerie too!!  What a family!

I'm a Registered Chairside Dental Assistant since 1976. I have been working for Piedmont Dental By Design since 1982. I've enjoyed my career in Dentistry and love giving people warm happy beautiful smiles. I plan on continuing my journey through Dentistry. It's such an amazing reward for me to give back a smile.

I am a graduate from the College Of Alameda Dental Assistant School. I have worked at Piedmont Dental Dental by Design since 1999. My goal as working chairside of Dr. Herrero and Martenson is to make patients feel at ease during dental treatment as well as to educate patients on their oral health. I like being a team leader and motivator.
When not at work I enjoy spending quality time at home with my husband and my loving, adorable sons. I also enjoy camping, family outings and spending time with family and friends.
