Hello, my name is Cristian Diaz. I am a resident of Novato. On my free time I enjoy playing soccer and hiking. I chose to become an RDH because I enjoy seeing others flourish in oral and general health.

Marco attended Diablo Valley Community College. He worked as a dental assistant for 5 years before earning his degree in Dental Hygiene. When asked what he enjoys most about his position, Marco says, “Sharing my knowledge & educating patients on the importance
of Oral Health and seeing the difference this can make in a patient’s life.” In Marco's spare time he enjoys being with his family and traveling.

I started working for Dr. Yang a little over a year ago as the receptionist and I was always curious to see how each procedure went and the outcome of it. I then told Dr. Yang I would like to Assist and in December I started assisting. I love seeing the patients smile on their face after a smile transformation. On my free time I enjoy spending time with my 3-year-old son and 1 year old daughter.

In 2020 I decided it was time for a career change and started the RDA program at COM. Dr Yang hired me as a DA while I was in school and has taught me so much in these past 4 years.

I think a smile is the best accessory anyone can have! There is nothing better than seeing a smile on your patient's face after doing a complete smile transformation. I love that a smile can build so much confidence!

When I am not working, I am usually home chasing after my 2-year-old twins or shopping with my older daughter.

I joined Dr. Yang’s practice in 2020 and have enjoyed every minute of it! Being a part of a team that always strives to keep patients first has been very fulfilling. My favorite part is watching patients’ smile transformations from start to finish and leave with the smile of their dreams.

When I’m not working, I love spending time with my husband and 1 year old son, gardening, and snowboarding around Lake Tahoe.

After two years of working in the medical field, I made the switch to dentistry in the summer of 2024, and I couldn’t be happier! Dr. Yang and his team are great, and I am so excited to have the opportunity to learn alongside them.  

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, reading, and driving around the bay with my boyfriend. I am excited to be a part of this team and cannot wait to continue learning!
