Suzie

Office Administrator

Hello, I'm Suzie Dr.Wernick’s Office Administrator. I am a California native originally from Sacramento. My family relocated to Orange County where I received a Chairside Dental Assisting Certificate and x-ray license, prior to graduation from high school. With over 20 years of combined dental office and dental chairside experiences, I have a strong passion to help others achieve optimum dental health efficiently and affordably. “The way I would want to be treated.”, “ It’s been a blessing to find such a great employer with the utmost morals and integrity!”

I live in Temecula with my best friend and Husband John and our three rescued Dachshunds. I love taking long walks with John and enjoying life with the rest of my family. Like many of the customers that travel further than 30 miles to see Dr. Wernick for treatment, I feel that the commute is so worth being part of Dr. Wernick’s team.

North county has been my hometown ever since 1984. I attended Palomar College where I earned my associate degree in Dental Assisting. I have been in the field of dentistry as an Registered Dental Assistant for over 10 years and I enjoy working in different aspects of dental assisting. In my free time I am usually with my family camping, biking and hiking. We also love eating out and trying all the diverse eateries here in San Diego.

Working with Dr. Wernick is a great opportunity and I am so excited to be a part of his Team. My primary goal is to provide the best dental care and to create long lasting relationships with all the patients.
