Meet Heidi
Our Dental Assistant
20 years ago, I was Dr. Vaziri’s patient, and like everyone else, I didn’t find partials to be the most comfortable. I wanted something better and longer lasting. I found Dr. Vaziri who not only finished my dental work, he also gave me back my self-confidence. After I finished my treatment, I talked with Dr. Vaziri about my dream as a young girl of being a dental assistant and he gave me the opportunity to fulfil that dream. I love the work I do and the patients we see on a daily basis.
When I am not camping or watching Gator Football, I’m hanging out with friends living
