Magda
Upland Dental Office Manager
My name is Magda Yacoub, I'm your friendly neighborhood Office Manager! I have various duties at the office, but my number one concern is the patient's overall experience and satisfaction. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family. My kids often tell me I'm too cordial and passionate. If you see me at the office during your visit, be sure to say hi!
Sam
Chino Dental Office Manager
My mother is an RDA so I practically grew up in the dental office. I followed in her footsteps and obtained my RDA license in 2014. Then I spent a few years expanding my knowledge, developing new skills, and evolving as a dental professional. I joined Barsoum Dental in 2018. It is a great honor to work with such an esteemed team of dental professionals that are truly dedicated to providing quality dental care and service. I embraced my new role as the Office Manager in 2021 and am grateful to have a career where I am able to exercise my passion for helping people surrounded by a team that feels like family. I spend most of my free time with my better half. I always have a coffee in hand and like cooking, hiking, and DIY projects. I love trying out Tik Tok recipes and finding new items at Trader Joe's.
Alex
Treatment Coordinator
I am a Treatment Coordinator at Barsoum Dental. I love working here because we have a great family dynamic, and I feel supported. I became interested in the dental field after taking a tour while my sister attended a vocational college. I was seeking a career and fell in love with dentistry. I began working at Barsoum Dental as an RDA but had to pivot into a front-office role due to an ankle injury. My ankle is better now, but you’ll still find me working in the front office because I found a passion for treatment coordinating, and explaining insurance benefits. In my free time, I like going to the gym and hanging out with family and friends. I have a sweet tooth for Raisinets and I love any song by Linkin Park.
Cynthia

I became a Registered Dental Assistant after high school because I liked helping people. I joined Barsoum Dental in 2007 and had the pleasure of watching and contributing to, our growing success. I love working here because the Dentists and Staff genuinely care about the patients. It is very rewarding to help patients achieve their dream smiles. I enjoy spending time with my kids, attending a women's bible study group, eating Mexican food, and listening to oldies.

I continue to work very closely with Loma Linda university and help train and guide new generations of RDAEF2. I love working here because of the team atmosphere and the family feel.

As Barsoum Dental's Specialty Coordinator, I help guests with their specialty care like Endodontics, Periodontics, Orthodontics, and Oral Surgery. I've been in the dental field for over 30 years now, and I fell in love with the industry after putting myself through braces. Having straight teeth really built up my self-esteem, and I wasn’t afraid to smile anymore, which is why I enjoy helping others achieve their dream smile. I consider my coworkers my dental family. My husband and I have three grown sons and one teenage daughter. We enjoy spending time together, especially going on out-of-town adventures.

Nicole

I have been a dental hygienist for 11 years and started working with Dr. Barsoum in 2013. Throughout my education, I realized the importance of personalized care in oral hygiene. I firmly believe that each patient has unique needs, and it's my mission to help them find what works best for them.
What I love most about being a hygienist is the opportunity to build relationships with my patients, assisting them in achieving their individual oral health goals. I'm deeply committed to providing the highest quality of care, ensuring that every patient who walks through our doors receives the attention and support they deserve.
It's incredibly fulfilling to make a positive impact in the lives of those I serve, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue doing so each day.
