I would like to introduce you to Dr. Monique Guraya. Dr. Guraya joined our practice in December, where she kindly covered my maternity leave. We are delighted that she has decided to continue with us on a permanent basis, working two days a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Dr. Guraya earned her Bachelor of Science degree from the College of William & Mary in 2017, followed by her dental degree from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Dentistry in 2021. She further advanced her training through a General Practice Residency at the West Los Angeles VA Hospital in California, where she gained extensive experience in surgical and comprehensive dentistry. Her calm demeanor and gentle, reassuring approach help patients feel comfortable and at ease during their visits.
Please join me in welcoming Dr. Guraya to our team!
On a personal note, I am happy to share that I have returned from maternity leave and am now in the office three days a week, which also allows me to spend time with my newborn son, Ario. He was born on January 7 and is already smiling, showing a big personality, and getting ready to join the team soon!
