Lyla Jeltycheva, RDH

Hi, I am Lyla. I started working with Dr. Benyammi’s team in September 2000 as her dental assistant, while going to school in the evening to get my pre-requisites to attend dental hygiene school. I graduated from Western Dental in San Jose, CA in 2007, as a Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH). I am Diode Laser and Biolase certified. I enjoy working at Dr. Benyammi’s office because the atmosphere is upbeat, exciting, and fun, and at the same time, our team strives to provide quality oral health to our patients. When I’m not working, my husband Serguei and I are traveling and camping.

Hi, I am Maria. I am a mother of 2 beautiful daughters and am engaged to my prince charming. My family has taught me to be brave and to love life.  I have been a Dental Assistant for about 4 years.  I really enjoy the skill I have chosen as my career path.  When I joined Dr Benyammi and her team, I felt as if I had walked into a gold mine!  Dr. Benyammi has been an excellent teacher and a great inspiration to me.  The staff and patients are priceless.

Hello, I'm Michaela, and it's likely that my voice is the first one you'll hear on the telelphone when you call our office.  I've been with Dr. Benyammi's team since March of 2007.  I am committed to creating a welcoming, comfortable and efficient environment.  I will help you schedule your appointments and answer your questions regarding office policies and/or procedures.  The Bay Area has been my home for the last twenty years, along with my husband and two children.  In a previous life, I was a newspaper editor, and still love to know what's happening in the world right now.  Besides current events, I am also an amateur naturalist and will welcome news on the latest whale migration or bird sightings.  I look forward to meeting you.
