Paulette | Patient Care Coordinator
I have been in the dental field for 26 years and absolutely love it. I have always enjoyed working with patients, and I feel that having a friendly face to greet them puts the patients at ease. I love learning new things in dentistry and enjoy branching out and expanding my knowledge to help educate our patients with new technologies. I cannot express how much I love this team; they are wonderful and are more like family than coworkers. In my free time, I love spending time in my garden tending to my roses and watching the San Francisco 49ers and Giants. I also love cooking and enjoy learning new recipes and spending time with my family.
Jessica | Front Office & Insurance
I was born and raised in Sacramento and forever the place I will call home. 🏡
Dentistry has always been a passion of mine due to my enjoyment with working with people and my love for customer service. My experience has been mainly in pediatric dentistry.
After two years of being home taking care of my 2 boys , I decided to jump back into the work field and have been loving it since.
On my spare time, I enjoy having a cup of coffee while reading a good book, spending time with my husband of 9 years , two boys and our cat Cola - at the age of 32 I am learning to embrace the beauty of the present and I’m reminded every day that life’s true treasures lie in the little things

I have been a hygienist with Dr. Kujiraoka for over 20 years. I graduated way back when from Loma Linda University. I’m grateful to all our wonderful patients who help keep this job fun. When I have free time, I like to binge-watch “TV” or listen and move to music—not sure if you can call my moving dancing, lol. I try and get my kiddos out hiking or canoeing once in a while. Please, when you come see me, bring your streaming recommendations and your favorite hiking destinations.

I have been working for Dr. Kujiraoka since 2021. I graduated from Loma Linda University in the same class with our other hygienist, Jenni, back in 1996. I love catching up with what’s going on in our patients’ lives whenever they come in. When I’m not at work, I love spending time with my son, my husband, and my wonderful friends and family. We love to go adventuring in our 4x4 with our Labradoodle, Gemma.

Over the past 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of working as a dental assistant, with extensive experience in pediatric dentistry. I am also cross-trained in both front and back office roles, allowing me to contribute to all aspects of the practice. What truly makes my day is meeting new people and providing a high level of care that’s reflected in bright smiles and warm hugs. I take great joy in building personal connections with each patient, ensuring their experience is both comfortable and memorable. Dr. Kujiraoka is an exceptional dentist whose passion for his work is truly inspiring, and I’m grateful to be part of his team. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities, with Monterey Bay being one of my favorite places to visit, as well as traveling to new destinations.

My journey with Dr. Kujiraoka began in my senior year of high school, and it’s been an incredible experience. Something I’m very passionate about is helping patients feel comfortable and well cared for during each visit to our office; it gives me a sense of purpose. One of my favorite things about the team is our friendship. When I’m not assisting, I enjoy spending time outdoors. Whether it’s hiking, stargazing, or just soaking up some sunshine.
