Dr. Patricia Claeys-Schmidt first learned the prosthetic side of dentistry. She graduated from programs in Aarschot, Belgium and Riverside, California as a Certified Dental Technologist. She then focused on preventative dentistry and received her Bachelor of Science in dental hygiene from the University of California San Francisco. Dr. Patricia’s first job as a dentist was as clinic director of the Pit River Indians for the Indian Health Service in Burney, California. She served as a staff dentist for Seton Hospital for 15 years, providing dental care for patients on a sub-acute ward. She taught dentistry at Columbia University and dental assisting at Mandl College in New York City. When she's not in her trademark purple gloves, she's probably out hiking or putting together a 10,000 piece puzzle.

Ursula Tumath has been a Registered Dental Hygienist since 2011. She received her Master’s Degree in Dental Hygiene in 2014 from UCSF. When she isn’t working, she is wrangling her three children, curating her Instagram @ursulabythebay, or riding her bike that goes nowhere.
