Esla Oral & Facial Surgery

Hello my name is Maria, I am currently with Oral & Facial Specialists since 2014, I was born and raised in El Paso, TX. I moved to Bakersfield, CA from Colorado Springs, CO. My husband is in the Army and we have two awesome teenagers. We have traveled the world and have lived in multiple states.

While stationed at Ft. Carson, CO I received my Dental Assisting Certification. Fresh out of school I was hired by an oral surgeon that gave me the opportunity of a life time. He showed me the ropes of Oral Surgery and received my IV certification. Working in oral surgery made me realize how much I love my job and the passion I have for my patients. My patients are my top priority and hope to ensure they have the best services provided.

I am excited and thrilled to be given this opportunity to work with Dr. Esla, our team and able to continue my experience and education as a Surgical Assistant. I look forward to meeting you.

Hello! My name is Drew, I graduated from Centennial High School in 2015 and I joined Dr. Esla and his team in 2016. Working with Dr Esla, and his team has given me an incredible opportunity, I have learned many new aspects of Oral Surgery including dental implants.

Our office is an exciting place to work, from our amazing décor to our dedication to every patient we see, this is my favorite part. I want to make sure that every patient that walks into our office is heard and understood. I want to insure that your visit with us is above your expectations and that all your Oral Surgery needs are taken care of in as few appointments as possible because we all understand life keeps us busy. You can find me working in our Bakersfield office and our newest location in Visalia, I will be helping patients in consultations, assisting in surgery and helping to insure your loved ones feel safe and comfortable when leaving our office.

When I am not working, I love to spend time doing a little weekend traveling with my boyfriend, we like going to the beach or going hiking we also like to hang out with our close family and friends. I look forward to growing with the practice and getting to know our patient on a first name bases.

My name is Eva I have been a part of Dr. Esla’s team since February of 2016. I was born and raised in Oakland, Ca. I have three wonderful children. We moved to Bakersfield from Issaquah, Washington in 2013 and have been here in Bakersfield since.

Previously before working at Oral & Facial Specialists I had taken a break from the dental field to raise my children. I had six years of dental experience prior to my absence. I feel extremely fortunate to be a part of a team who will go above and beyond for their patients in every aspect of oral surgery.

When I have time away from the office I love to spend time with my three children. I enjoy hiking and listening to music. As a family we love traveling and exploring new cities and cultures. It’s always nice to have a little “get away” even if it’s just for the weekend.

When you walk into our office I will be there to greet you and walk you through the registration process. I will help you complete the necessary forms for your consultation appointment and answer any questions you may have before you see the doctor. I am bilingual so please feel free to ask me any questions you may have in either English or Spanish. I look forward to seeing all our current patients and all our new patients, please let me know if there is anything I can help you with when you come in.

My name is Margarita and I am the treatment plan and billing coordinator for Dr. Alan Esla. I have been with Dr. Esla and his team since 2012. I can honestly say that I consider this practice to be my second home. You can always find me here working on claims and calling insurance companies on our patients behalf.

I love helping people and for that reason it is my priority to help Dr. Esla’s patients in any way that I can. I like to help patients understand their benefits and how we can maximize their benefits as much as possible to ensure we get them the lowest possible out of pocket cost for treatment. If there is a billing issue I will work with your insurance and you to get the matter resolved.
