Marcela has been in the dental field for over 15 years. Making a difference in her patients’ lives by helping improve and maintain their smiles is what drew her to become a hygienist.

Growing up, Marcela lived in a small country in Eastern Europe named Moldova. She lived in Romania for about 9 years, then moved to Bellevue in 2000, which has now become home. Marcela spends her free time with her family, gardening, cooking, reading, and traveling.
