OUR HYGIENISTS
The dental hygienists at Amanda Farley, DDS are dedicated to ensuring our patients’ oral health and well being. When you visit our Modesto dental office for a professional cleaning, your dental hygienist will review you medical history, take any necessary X-rays, clean your teeth, provide fluoride if necessary, and offer education on the best ways to care for your teeth and gums at home.
CLAUDIA
I earned my AS in Biochemistry and AS in Dental Hygiene, and began my career in dentistry in 1977. I joined Dr. Farley’s office in 2000. In the past 18 years, I’ve enjoyed giving quality care to our patients and getting to know their families. I love the team approach here at Dr. Farley’s office, and the ladies who are wonderful to work with.
I have been married for 40 years to my husband Wayne. We have a son David and a daughter Emily, and two grand dogs Tyson and Joy. I enjoy water aerobics and the elliptical machine for exercise and fun. In my spare time, I am a consultant for Mary Kay cosmetics and volunteer with Soroptomist, Community Christmas tree, and Dream it, Be it for high school aged girls.
ERIN
I started working at a dental office at age 19 making hygiene appointments. From there, I went to MJC for my prerequisites and then onto Chabot College to achieve my RDH. I became a part of Dr. Farley’s team in 2007. My favorite parts of each day are the relationships I establish with my patients. Sometimes we have too much fun during our visits!
I have been married to my husband for 20 years! I have three children ages 18, 15, and 13. I love to hang out with my friends and laugh, and dancing is a must of course!
SARAH H.
I began my career in dentistry as an assistant in 2014 before continuing my education at Carrington College to become an RDH in 2017. I love meeting new people and getting to know each and every patient. I’m also fortunate to work with such an amazing group of people. Dr. Farley is the best doctor to work with! She genuinely cares about her staff and her patients and goes above and beyond to make you feel appreciated. I feel at home in this office, with this staff.
I am engaged to my wonderful fiancé Steven. We are getting married in Maui in 2019! We live in Modesto with our three cats and I am hoping to get a French bulldog soon! I love going to concerts, camping, hiking, working out, and playing soccer.
SUE
I had wanted to be a hygienist since I was 11 years old. My hygienist at that time was very kind and friendly and talked about her job. I thought I would like to be just like her, and her name was also Sue! I completed my dental assisting program in 1976-1977 and continued on to Chabot College from 1977-1981, graduating from the hygiene program. I’ve been a part of Dr. Farley’s team since 2003. I enjoy seeing my regular patients and catching up on their lives, and I love meeting new people too! It’s gratifying to see my patients improve on their oral health.
I am married with two grown children and am a grandmother to a six-month-old. I also have three dogs. In my free time, I like to read.
SOFIA
I graduated in 2018 from San Joaquin Valley College’s dental assisting program and joined Dr. Farley’s team shortly after. I love learning new things and helping people feel better about going to the dentist. Everyone here is helpful and understanding, and has made me feel at home in the office. It is a happy work environment and I feel like I have a second family.
At home, I have two dogs. In my free time, I like going to the gym, shopping, and watching movies.
OUR DENTAL ASSISTANTS
Our dental assistants can be found assisting with patient care alongside Dr. Farley, assisting the hygiene department, doing sterilization, taking impressions, and ordering office materials. They are here to make sure you are comfortable and have an excellent dental experience at our office.
TINA
I completed dental assisting school at Gayland College in Modesto in 1991 and finished my RDAEF training at UCSF in 1997. Since joining Dr. Farley in 2002, it’s been my pleasure to build relationships with our patients and work with the wonderful women on our team. They are like my family and awesome in their own individual ways.
I have been married for 24 years to my husband, Keith. I have two children Justin and Serra, and two beautiful grandchildren Kara and Hunter. I love spending time with my family and going out to dinner or a movie, but most of all, I love hanging out at home. I enjoy gardening, raising chickens, and canning, all with the help of my two dogs Dobby and Jack.
REBECCA
OFFICE MANAGER
I help patients receive the dental care they need by explaining treatment to patients, looking up their insurance benefits, providing the best treatment options, and helping guide them in maximizing their dental benefits. Dental insurance is always changing so my favorite part about my job is educating patients as much as I can about their insurance. I also enjoy building relationships with the patients and their families.
I was born in the Bay Area and raised in Turlock. In 2017, I married my high school sweetheart on our ten-year anniversary. I just became a first time mom to an adorable little boy and I love watching him grow every day. On my free time, I enjoy CrossFit and running.
OUR ADMINISTRATION TEAM
LADY
Lady is our office mascot and can be heard welcoming you in with a bark most (if not all) days. She has three loves in life – Food, Pets and her People. In that order! Dr. Farley rescued her in 2014 at 2 years old and they have been inseparable since! Lady is well traveled herself and has taken trips to Seattle, Tahoe, Monterey, San Diego and Scottsdale. She is half Cocker Spaniel, and parts Shitzu, Poodle and Super Mutt. Feel free to ask for pets anytime you come in, she loves to lick and get attention from patients!
