Meet Our Team

Anna - Copper Basin OMS

Anna

Since 2023, I’ve been assisting in oral surgery alongside Dr. Zuniga, gaining hands-on experience in patient care and surgical procedures. I hold associate degrees in Science and Arts, and I’m on track to complete an Associate in Business by Fall 2025.

Outside of work, I’ve been happily married since June 2023. I love spending time with my husband, family, and friends, as well as watching movies, thrifting, and traveling. Some of my favorite places I’ve explored include Greece, Norway, Italy, Turkey, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

Rebecca

Rebecca loves her Copper Basin Team! She loves spending time with family and friends and meeting new people. She loves pickleball, paddle boarding, good conversations and eating good food.

Daniela

I’m Daniela, a Surgical Dental Assistant at Copper Basin OMS. I work alongside the surgical team to assist in procedures, support patients through their treatment, and help keep everything running smoothly.

I’ve also volunteered abroad, which gave me a new perspective on dental care and made me love what I do even more. People I work with would probably say I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and easy to get along with.

When I’m not at work, I’m usually spending time with my family and pets. I care about what I do and always try to make people feel comfortable and cared for.

Olivia

I am a dedicated oral dental assistant and proud single mother, passionate about helping patients feel comfortable and confident in the dental chair. Having experienced dental anxiety firsthand, I strive to create a calm and supportive environment for everyone I care for. Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my daughter and family, as well as relaxing with music and getting creative with crafts.

Abigail

I’m a dedicated Surgical Assistant with a passion for patient-centered care and a strong commitment to excellence in the operating room. Currently preparing to start nursing school, I’m excited to expand my skills and deepen my impact in healthcare. My favorite part of the job is making sure every patient feels safe, cared for, and receives the highest quality treatment. Outside of work, you can usually find me at a music festival, Pilates class, or hunting down the best new food spots in town.

Lisa

I’m Lisa, I was born in New York and I am a proud Italian girl! I also lived in Colorado for many years and then followed my sisters to Arizona. I have two beautiful daughters . I am happily the receptionist at Copper Basin and love working for Dr Zuniga! We have the most amazing team that I am so grateful to be a part of. I have been in the dental field for 4 years and really enjoy it!

He completed his dental assisting training at the American Institute of Dental Assisting and received his certification in dental anesthesia assisting (DAANCE) through AAOMS. He has also earned multiple certificates through the Dental Assisting National Board.

Always eager to grow, John actively seeks out continuing education opportunities and enjoys connecting with others in the dental field. He loves meeting new people, working with patients, and keeping things fun while staying focused on excellent care.

Outside of work, John is a proud foodie who takes dessert seriously—and it’s no secret that Chipotle is his love language.
