Robin runs our front office. She took a turn into dentistry from Opticianry where she is a licensed Optician and contact lens technician. She is the Opticians Association of Alaska vice president. Robin is a "lady McGyver," we joke she can build a mall out of paper clips and duct tape. When she's not fixing things around the office, you can find her on a 4-wheeler, sewing, reading or tending her Icelandic horses.

LeOna, one of our two assistants, is our newest team member. She is a life-long Fairbanksan and graduated from Lathrop High School. In true Alaskan style, she enjoys hunting and fishing as well as spending time with her family. We're excited to have her with us as she keeps everyone laughing.

Heidi has been Dr. Barrera's assistant for over 5 years. Our patients love how she makes them feel instantly comfortable. In the summer you'll find her cruising town on her Harley-Davidson. She has the cutest Shih Tzu named Lyca.

Shannon, our office manager enjoys the behind-the-scenes bookkeeping office work. Shannon has been with us since we first opened and moved to part time work when her daughter was born a year ago. She enjoys being a mom, likes to travel, play racquetball, scrapbook, bake and did we mention, travel?
