I graduated from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley with a Bachelor’s degree in Integrated Health Science in Medicine. Over the past few years, I’ve had the opportunity to leverage my degree in multiple sectors of the healthcare field. I look forward to helping patients maintain their oral health and enhancing their overall experience through patient care coordination.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy traveling, exercising, and spending quality time with my family and pets.
Abigail studied dental assisting at the College of Healthcare Professions and has been working in the field for five years. She enjoys helping patients understand any treatment they need as well as helping them understand their insurance policies.
Outside of the office Abigail spends most of her time with her family and loved ones.
A McAllen native, Diane completed her Bachelor of Dental Hygiene at Baylor College of Dentistry. She also has a Bachelor of Arts in English Literate from Pan American University. Today, her career in dentistry spans over three full decades! She loves having the wonderful opportunity to share her dental hygiene skills and heart with each lovely patient, as well as working alongside such a talented staff.
Diane’s family consists of her spouse Justice Jamie Tijerina, her daughter Katie, and her beautiful toddler grandson Dominic. She also has a Terrier mix named Benny. In her free time, she enjoys golfing, walking/jogging, reading, hiking, cooking, playing games, spending time on the beach, and traveling just about anywhere with her husband. She’s also an avid amateur bird watcher.
I was born and raised in McAllen, but left to College Station to complete my Bachelor’s Degree in Biomedical Science from Texas A&M University. Whoop! I graduated in 2010 and moved back to the valley to complete my Associates of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene in 2014. For nearly a decade, I’ve been striving to provide quality care and comfort for my patients. I love building new relationships and my goal has always been to keep everyone smiling!
I was born in McAllen, TX, and attended STVT for assistant school. My goal in life is to continue my education in dentistry one day. I love dentistry; it’s something I’ve been passionate about since childhood. I have two boys, Ian and Liam. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, baking, and reading books.
I received my dental assistant certification from STVT in March 2023. I enjoy communicating and interacting with our patients in a positive manner. In my free time, I love spending time with my daughter, hanging out with friends, and learning new cooking recipes.
