Lani Guillermo Lead Treatment Coordinator
I was born and raised on the island of Kaua’i and have called O’ahu home for many years. I have an extensive background in securities trading and marketing. I totally love my job! Our team works diligently to provide our patients with the highest quality of orthodontic care. It’s about creating genuine relationships and beautiful smiles that will last a lifetime. My greatest rewards are the hugs I receive from our patients and their families who love the final results. I enjoy spending time with my family and close friends, hula dancing, traveling, shopping and working out.
Saidee Orthodontic Assistant
I’m so grateful to receive training from Hawaiian Smiles Orthodontics and truly love my job! We all share such a deep passion for learning and growing together while providing the best care for our patients. I was born and raised in Hawaii. In my free time I love to spend time with my family and friends, challenge my creative side, and go on adventures!
Shireene Roque Lead Scheduling Coordinator
I am thankful to have been able to join the Hawaiian Smiles ohana after being in general dentistry for over 15 years. Witnessing the expression when our patients see their final results, helping to create beautiful smiles and creating relationships with our patients is the most rewarding part of my job! I was born and raised on the Big Island and am thankful to call Kamuela my home. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, dancing hula, relaxing at the beach, shopping and traveling.
Maribel Bazell Clinical Assistant
A smile is the prettiest thing a person can have! Creating beautiful smiles has been my passion for the last 11 years with this practice. Before moving to Hawaii from Arkansas where I graduated from Eastern College of Health Vocations, I worked in general dentistry for four years. I enjoy helping our patients achieve their best smiles!
Tiana Jaquis Scheduling Coordinator
I was born and raised on the island of Oahu. My previous work experience was in general dentistry, now being in Orthodontics there is a little bit of a change but knowing general dentistry has helped. Outside of work I love to spend time with my family and children, going shopping and surfing.
Kylie Amarino Clinical Assistant
I always loved going to the dentist and since intermediate school have been interested in teeth. My training at the Hawaii School of Dental Arts prepared me for working in dentistry, and I am also a pharmacy technician. I love spending time with my family and friends on Hawaii Island, trying new things and going out of my comfort zone.
Tihani Medeiros Clinical Assistant
I was born and raised here in Hawaii and have been working for Dr. Yim since 2013. I have over seven years of experience working with my orthodontic family! I love spending any free time with my family, especially my three year old daughter, Akira. We love to spend our time together going to the beach, fishing, traveling, hiking, and–my personal favorite–gardening.
Kary Medina Clinical Assistant
The greatest reward of my job is being a part in creating beautiful smiles. Born and raised in Kailua Kona, I stepped into the dental field in 2009 with a fascination in the industry. Fast forward to present day, I’m driven with the same desire and passion for the trade. My background consists of experience in general dentistry, endodontics, orthodontics, as well as oral and maxillofacial surgery. When I’m not living in scrubs, I practice muscular massage therapy. My days are spent raising my beautiful children, enjoying our island and all its beauty, and growing our love for Hawaiian language and culture.
Mary Claire Orthodontic Assistant
After being an orthodontic assistant in Austin, TX for the last three years, I decided to move to Oahu and start a new journey here at Hawaiian Smiles. Seeing a patient’s confidence skyrocket after treatment is what drives my passion for this career. In my free time I enjoy hiking, hanging out at the beach and traveling the world.
Janine Financial Coordinator
After working in town for most of my career in medical billing, coding and practice management, I finally came back home to the Windward side. I feel so blessed to be with such a wonderful, positive and caring group. When I’m away from my work ohana, I enjoy time with my boyfriend, family here and on Maui and our two furbabies.
