LIVEWELL TEAM

Hello and welcome to Livewell Dental! I have the pleasure of being the first face you’ll see when you visit our clinic. I was born and raised in El Salvador and have been living in the beautiful Lorton area since 2010. I am a huge fútbol fan (Hala Madrid!), love traveling and enjoy being outdoors/staying active. Welcoming and assisting patients is something I’m truly passionate about. Working along Dr. Chris and the Livewell Dental team is an incredible experience, we share the same vision and passion for providing genuine care and support to our patients. Together, we strive to create a warm and welcoming environment, ensuring that each person who walks through our doors receives the best possible care and attention. We can’t wait to meet you!

Hello! I’m a dental assistant with a passion for the hands-on and creative aspects of dentistry. I love being part of a team that helps patients feel confident in their smiles while making their dental experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Hi there! I’m Uree, and I’m so excited to welcome you to our office. I became a dental hygienist because I genuinely love connecting with people and helping them feel good about their health — and their smiles! Nothing makes me happier than seeing a nervous patient leave feeling more confident and cared for than when they walked in. I’ve been in dentistry since 2018, working in both oral surgery and general practice, and I’ve found my sweet spot in creating gentle, thorough care that feels personal. My goal is always to make your visit feel easy, comfortable, and maybe even a little fun (yes, even at the dentist!). I grew up in Lorton and still call Northern Virginia home, so being part of this community means a lot to me. When I’m not at work, you can usually find me exploring new restaurants, planning my next travel adventure, or staying up way too late watching K-dramas. Lately, I’ve also gotten into running — and I’m slowly but surely building up my race medal collection. I can’t wait to meet you, learn your story, and help you smile a little brighter every time you visit!

Hi! My name is Erica, and I’m an Insurance Support Specialist at Livewell Dental. What I truly enjoy about working with Dr. Kim and the team is the constant opportunity to grow and discover new skills. I find immense satisfaction in building systems that help patients feel supported and ensure their appointments go smoothly. Contributing to something meaningful keeps me motivated and engaged every day. Outside of work, I’m a big fan of K-pop idols—especially the group Seventeen—and I love getting lost in Korean movies and music. I also enjoy watching sunsets, being in high places where I can see mountains and city lights, and spending quality time with my family and friends. These peaceful moments help me recharge and stay grounded. Above all, I believe in the power of positive communication and the importance of lifelong learning. I’m excited to be a part of your dental journey and look forward to helping make your experience with us smooth and stress-free!

Hi, my name is Kona, and I am the office mascot! Although you won’t see me during business hours, I work off-hours to make sure every office corner is sparkly clean! To look a part of being the mascot of a dental office, I brush my teeth daily and stay away from sweets. It’s ruff! When I am not busy working, I like to play fetch or take a stroll around Old Town Alexandria with my loving pawrents.
