Meet the Team

Ariel - Registered Dental Assistant

I love helping our patients with all their dental needs. Even the most fearful patients soon learn that this is an office where they have nothing to worry about. Dr. Cheong is so gentle and patient with each person he treats, talking with and reassuring them that they will feel nothing during the process. I assist Dr. Cheong chairside while he’s caring for patients. I make sure he has everything he needs at hand. I am always focused on our patients, checking in to see that they are comfortable, and explaining what the doctor is doing as well as how much progress has been made. I’m always available to answer patients’ questions about their dental care. I educate our patients about the different dental procedures, how they work, and why they are important in terms of restoring great oral health. When I’m not at the office, you’ll find me spending time with my family, including my husband, Angel, our two sons, and two daughters. I love sports and enjoy outdoor activities.

Ariana - Registered Dental Hygienist

I am a resident of Visalia, Ca and graduated from San Joaquin Valley College in 2003 with an Associates Degree in Dental Hygiene.  Years later I decided to further my healthcare education, and received my degree in Registered Nursing from College of the Sequoias in 2010.  After obtaining my license, I worked briefly at a convalescent home. Helping patients achieve and maintain an optimal level of oral health has always been my passion, which is why I decided to work full time as a hygienist. In my spare time, I hit the gym and spend time with my pit bull baby.  I'm so thankful for my second family at Dr. Cheong's office, and love seeing new faces in our office.

Litzy - Registered Dental Assistant
I am the newest edition chair-side to with Dr. Cheong. I graduated from San Joaquin valley college. I am enthusiastic about dentistry and thrilled to contribute my knowledge and skills to all of my patients, as well as being bilingual. I have a warm heart for everyone that walks through our office doors. I love being able to connect with all our patients, helping them maintain a healthy beautiful smile, and making it a happy experience for everyone. When I'm not at work I enjoy spending time with my dog Chanel, traveling, and spend time with my family.

Diana - Receptionist

I love giving our patients a reason to smile. I have been in the Dental profession for 8 years with experience as a former chair-side assistant and billing, and now I have moved to the front office with Dr. Cheong. I love greeting and interacting with our patients in office and over the phone. Helping them feel comfortable and relaxed so they have a positive experience. Also being able to answer questions for all upcoming appointments. I am also bilingual. I am married, and have a daughter and a son. In my spare time our family travels and participate in family fun activities.
