Meet Our Team

Riad is our business guru. On-site and off, he is the backbone of the practice’s efficiency and business health, working to ensure everything runs smoothly so dentists can focus on clinical care. His goal is to make our patient’s visit worry-free and positive.

Riad graduated with a Master’s Degree in International Business while living in Beirut, Lebanon. After returning home, to the Bay Area, he has taken on professional positions in finance,

corporate monitoring and bio pharma. For over a decade, he’s had the pleasure of working for the fine patients of Dr. Skeie; developing streamlined processes to treatment plans, helping patients navigate insurance and overseeing daily office operations.

Outside of the office, Riad enjoys the great outdoors – be it adventuring with his 4 legged companion or coaching youth soccer at the local club.

Kayo is our Office Manager and ensures things, onsite, run smoothly. He is a practiced civil engineer and naturally handles engineering/maintenance of the technical equipment.

He has been married to Dr. Skeie for more than 40 years and has been a true “partner” in the practice since retiring from civil engineering when their children were very young. This “Super Dad” loves being around his boys and is always ready to watch a soccer game or hang out with other car enthusiasts. On a sunny day, you may find him on the back roads driving his Shelby Cobra or his Porsche Carrera 4s.

While other staff oversee scheduling, billing and insurance, Kayo is always happy to help you with these and other questions or concerns you may have.

With nearly a decade of experience at a dental front desk, Miriam brings a calm and friendly presence to the office. In pursuit of expanded knowledge, she is working toward a master’s degree in psychology, which will reinforce her understand and support of our patients and team.

Miriam will help you with making appointments, filling out your paperwork, and assisting you to understand the nuances of your insurance plans and benefit programs. If you need credit assistance, Miriam will help you with a convenient plan for your particular needs. Stop by, sit down, and have a cup of coffee with Miriam.

Outside of work, Miriam spends time with her family — life with a toddler and a teenager keeps things fun and unpredictable! In her free time, you will usually find Miriam reading or listening to podcasts.

Alondra, our resident Dental Assistant, prides herself on service with a smile! She enjoys generating smiles and ensuring those smiles are well taken care of.

Outside of work Alondra enjoys going on walks, reading, cooking with her family, and cuddling her cat.
