Debbie

Office Manager

My dental career began when our family dentist in New Jersey hired me right out of high school to be his son’s Chairside Assistant. Following my move to California in 1980, I spent a few more years as a Registered Dental Assistant before making my way to the administrative side of things.

It is such a pleasure working here with such a caring team of dental professionals. Besides spending time with my daughters, grandson and doggies, I enjoy tennis, gardening, and traveling to Reggae Festivals with my partner, Glen.

Deanna

Treatment Coordinator

I have been on the clinical side of dentistry as a Dental Assistant for many years. I now have the pleasure of working in the front office as a Treatment Coordinator, to bring you ease while scheduling your appointments and coordinating your treatment plan, all while maximizing your insurance benefits. We have fun every day at San Clemente Smiles and I am grateful that my coworkers are my great friends. I also really enjoy interacting with patients and answering any questions or concerns they may have so that they can have a relaxing, enjoyable experience at our office. I’m married and have two beautiful grown daughters. On the weekends, you can find me water skiing on the Colorado River, chasing after our little Aussie named Cody, or planning our next big travel adventure!

Kelly

Registered Dental Hygienist

I love our team and enjoy working with people who love what they do. I’ve been working as a dental hygienist for over 28 years and love working with Dr. Curfew. I have confidence in his clinical skills and I know our patients will be treated with the most advanced care in a compassionate, professional manner.

Married with 4 children, I enjoy spending time with my family, serving in church, and tackling projects around the house. In my spare time, you will find me at the stables taking care of my horse, riding & hiking our local hills.

Lacey

I have been a dental hygienist for 8 years and am a graduate of Cypress College. Working at San Clemente Smiles has been a dream. I love how we treat all our patients as family and have a great bond with each of them. I have lived in San Clemente my whole life! My husband and I are both Alumni of SCHS and we have been married for 7 years. We have a yellow lab named Bailey and love to travel, go to the beach, and enjoy concerts.

Jaclyn

Registered Dental Hygienist

I have been in the dental field since I was a senior in high school near Sacramento. Starting out as a dental assistant for 12 years, I had developed a love and passion for helping individuals in need. I pursued my career in dental hygiene at Santa Rosa Junior College in 2015. Soon after, I met my husband and we moved to Orange County. Recently, I had two amazing daughters who keep me very occupied. In my free time, I love to be outdoors in the sunshine! We love taking our travel trailer out to go camping throughout the year and exploring new places. I am also a huge foodie and enjoy cooking and having family and friends over! San Clemente Smiles has been the absolute best, most authentic and kind office I’ve ever worked in. It’s a blessing to be a hygienist here and hope to meet each and every patient.

Lisa

Registered Dental Hygienist

I have been in the dental field since 1978, taking 4 years off to raise my children. I have been very fortunate to have been working in our office for 17 years. I really enjoy coming to work and helping patients with their dental concerns. It is such a pleasure when patients are finished with their treatment and leave with a smile. The biggest reward is providing comfort to those patients that have had unfortunate dental experiences growing up and helping them build trust in our office. I have seen that happen here many times and it is a tribute to our team for their compassion and loving support. I couldn’t be happier than to have Dr. Curfew’s excellent dentistry and wonderful personality to make our team as strong as it is. I have been fortunate enough to live in San Clemente since 1976 and raise my children with my husband of 40 years. Our family has experienced many fun activities during the growing years such as camping, boating, hiking, and traveling. Our household has quieted down now that my daughter is married and my son has his own apartment. I have been blessed with 3 beautiful grandchildren: 1 grandson and 2 granddaughters. We are all enjoying life in San Clemente.

Stephanie

Dental Assistant

I have been fortunate to have worked alongside doctors for 16 years. I enjoy working more on the clinical side, ensuring patients are made as comfortable as I can. I am grateful to work with coworkers and patients that are like family.
In my time away from dentistry, I enjoy taking my two kids on adventures and eating at new places. We are always at the beach.
