Jose
Office Manager & Treatment Coordinator
I like the friendships that grow between the patients, their families, and me. I look forward to their visits as a time to see how their smile is progressing and hear the latest news. Witnessing the changes in a person’s self-esteem and watching their confidence grow never gets old. I love seeing the final, beautiful smiles, and each patient’s excitement.
I have a beautiful wife named Lissette. We have four kids, three daughters and one son. We spend most of our weekends at the soccer fields all over Southern California. If you see us, say hi! I also have a pack of beautiful show Rottweilers that keeps our daughters busy as well.

I love orthodontics! It has been a pleasure to be a part of Apple Valley Orthodontics for the past ten years. Our patients’ happiness is what matters most to each and every one of us. Every day, we get to help improve our patients’ smiles, help build confidence, and elevate their overall oral health. It is so rewarding to give these patients the smiles they want and deserve. Their smiles are my inspiration!
Being with my family and friends is my priority when I’m not working. I have two wonderful sons and a pet named Misty. I enjoy taking my kids to their sports activities and doing crafts, as well as spending time with my friends and family and traveling.

I decided to work in orthodontics because I enjoy working with kids and I love seeing the joy patients get when they see their new, perfect smile! I work hard to build a relationship with our patients and help them to be more confident in themselves.

What I love most about orthodontics is the bond created with our patients. The opportunity to help build confidence is my top priority. Being able to witness our patient’s full start to finish with their braces or Invisalign journey is truly rewarding.
Spending time with my family on my days off is my favorite thing to do.
