Sandi Woods, Receptionist: Running the front office for thirteen years, she became a dental assistant at age 16. She was born in Ft. Smith, Arkansas and resides in Eustis. Her interests with her husband and grandson are baseball, fishing, horses and collecting dolls, cardinals, bells and plates. Her most recent milestone was to fly on an airplane by herself. What she truly enjoys about her work is meeting and greeting our patient family and working with the team members at Dental Associates of Maitland. If Sandi won the lottery, she would "share all with my family, making sure they would be taken care of." Her philosophy is "to live each day to the fullest, thanking God everyday for everything."

Maryam Rahbari, registered dental hygienist, began at the Dental Associates of Maitland in 1999, with a break for the birth of her wonderful children, Ryan and Laila. She is a Floridian, having lived and visited family around the state. In her free time, she reads ands enjoys working out with weights and outdoor sports. Her first employment was an activity organizer at a daycare center. Her most recent milestone was patenting an idea! She enjoys the fact that she receives gratitude from her patients as she is able to witness the results of communicating home care techniques and providing care to them. If she won the lottery she would buy a big house to hold all the children that need a home, hire the most caring and, genuinely, kind people to help her care for them, and then, give them all the hugs, kisses, and love that the children need. Her philosophy on life is to not be angry, for anger ruins your day. “Love yourself and others, accept them for what and who they are. Life is too short not to enjoy every moment.”
