About Stacy Sandoval
Business Coordinator  

I was born and raised in Northern Georgia up until 2021, where we decided to move here to California. After graduating high school in 2014, I started to continue my education in becoming a vet technician as I’ve always had a passion for animals and being able to help them in any way possible. I became a first time mother to a beautiful daughter in 2016 where I then decided I wanted to put all my time and focus towards her. I have an absolutely wonderful family of 4 now. I still plan on continuing my education in the future to where I can one day own my own animal clinic/shelter in Mexico. Until then, you can find me working with one of the best teams here in Yuba City, Smile Zone Dental! I look forward to seeing your child(rens) face soon.
