Raime graduated from the CSN Hygiene Dental Program in 2008. She has been a part of our practice for ten+ years. Raime is a proud mom of two boys, she’s got an amazing sense of humor and loves sharing with her patients that one of the best things about being a mom is letting the boys dress up as superheroes just to go to the grocery store. She currently resides in Birmingham, AL. Since most of her family and friends still reside in Las Vegas and due to high demand for her, she comes into work for us 2 weeks at a time every few months. We truly enjoy having her as part of our dental family.
