Sara Battaglia, RDA

Sara Battaglia, RDA

Sara adds so much to our team. She is sweet, always has a smile on her face and is very quick-witted and funny. She was a patient in our neighboring pediatric/orthodontic office as a teenager and came back years later to work there as a Dental Assistant. She then became a Registered Dental Assistant since she has always been fascinated with general dentistry and the rest is history! She has been working with us since 2017 and we are so grateful to have her in our office. She is considering furthering her career and going back to school to become an RDAEF2. Her daughter is the love of her life and they love hanging out together. Sara enjoys the beach, baseball (Go Dodgers!), chocolate chip cookies and her tuxedo cat, Miss Molly.
