Leslie Duong - Patient Care Manager

My name is Leslie.  Going from engineering field to dental profession is a drastic change in my career.  I have been working at Sun Orthodontics as a Patient Care Manager for the past decade.  Our facility is located in the heart of Rancho Bernardo with wonderful doctor and staff.  I feel fortunate to be a part of the team.  It's very fascinating to see how orthodontics with the innovation of technology can transform the people's lives physically and psychologically.  It's magic!  After each busy working day, I usually reserve some quiet time for myself either reading, listening to music, or thinking.  The sounds of the ocean, the running water in the river, the beautiful scenery inspires my deepest thought and transforms me into a poet.  Working with flower arrangements or creating artworks are my favorite hobbies.

 

Danielle Lowe - Amazing Assistant

Hi, My name is Danielle Lowe, I am a southern California native and have lived in Escondido for most of my life. I’m a recent graduate of UEI college where I obtained my Dental Assisting Certification. In addition to being the Dental Assistant here at Sun Orthodontics, I am also a former patient of Dr. Duong’s. I am so pleased to have the opportunity to learn and grow in the office that gave me my beautiful smile. Dr. Duong is the best at what she does because in addition to her vast clinical skill, she truly wants every patient to love their smile! When I’m not working I love to take walks with my 2 great dogs or take a relaxing jog after a long day.

 

Mica Coburn - Dental Assistant

My name is Mica Coburn and I have been a part of the Sun Orthodontics team since 2006 as a student intern.  I am responsible for assisting the team in whatever they may need in order to render the most dedicated patient care.  Transitioning from patient to intern has given me an interesting look into orthodontic care and had inspired me to go into dentistry as well.  Currently, I attend the University of California Irvine in the school of Biological Sciences.  I plan to graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Science and a minor in Film in hopes of continuing onto post-graduate school for dentistry.  When not studying or working at the office, I enjoy making films, meeting new and interesting people, as well as getting involved at my school and in the community.
