One of her favorite places she has traveled is the state of Maine with all its varid seasons and so many trails to walk, no mosquitos, colorful flowers, and beautiful weather. She loves reading, thrifting, and being with her family. When you meet her, you might hear about her two cats named Isla and China who are very different in personality but loved just the same.
She says, "I want to agree with everyone that going to the dentist is not a fun activity to do. However, it is my job to help it be less stressful and intimidating. Please let me know any questions, or anxieties that you may have and I will help you during your appointment."
Dr. Daniela loves serving her community here in Tyler with excellent and compassionate dental care.
