About Us

Dr. Amy Hao, at the helm of our distinguished dental team, brings an exquisite blend of rich educational background and a passion for promoting all-encompassing health to bear on her role as a dentist. Holding pride of place in her credentials are her Doctorate from the prestigious Loma Linda University School of Dentistry, as well as an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from the revered University of California, San Francisco. Her professional affiliations are broad and impressive: she is an esteemed member of the American Dental Association (ADA), the California Dental Association (CDA), the Tri-County Dental Society, and the American Association of Oral Systemic Health. Moreover, she enjoys the distinguished honor of being a fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD). Dr. Hao’s mission is to engage and inspire patients to understand and embrace the profound link between oral health and overall wellbeing.

Away from her professional arena, Dr. Hao immerses herself in the dazzling world of flora; her passions are gardening and floral arranging. She is happily married and is a proud mother to two delightful children. Like all those at Bear Valley Dental Care, she’s not just part of a team; she’s part of a family.

With over a quarter-century of dedicated service under her belt, our Registered Dental Assistant, Joanne, has been an undeniably vital part of our professional dental team. For 25 years, Joanne has been passionately using her expertise to foster a warm, welcoming environment for our patients, ensuring they feel completely comfortable throughout their visit. Her cheerful disposition and patient-centered approach have considerably contributed to the overall success of our practice, thus setting us apart as a leading dental center. Outside of our practice, Joanne immerses herself in the therapeutic hobby of rock painting. Her collection of painted rocks, often customized to reflect the favorite football teams of our patients, has brought smiles to many faces. These hand-painted tokens of appreciation reflect Joanne’s embodiment of our core values – care, comfort, and personalized dental service. In every interaction, Joanne truly enriches our practice’s commitment to cultivating lasting relationships with our patients.

Claudia’s journey with us as a dedicated Registered Dental Assistant started two years ago. Since then, she has been offering excellent dental care to our patients, treating them as if they were her family. Her professional approach combined with her warm and caring nature has been instrumental to our success. Outside of her dedicated career in dental assisting, she relishes the joy and relaxation that comes with hiking often with her two wonderful children. Her unwavering dedication to delivering superior dental service, coupled with her personal commitment to family and the great outdoors, makes her a caring and outstanding member of our team. Her greatest reward in the profession stems from the relationship she establishes with patients, treating them like family – a belief that remains at the heart of what makes Bear Valley Dental Center special.

Meet our highly skilled Dental Hygienist, Michelle. Guided by an unwavering commitment to delivering outstanding dental care, she effortlessly blends clinical expertise with personable patient communication to transform the oral health landscape of our practice. A fundamental part of Michelle’s role is educating patients on the importance of oral healthcare. Equipped with an intricate eye for detail, she simplifies complex oral hygiene practices into easy-to-follow, impactful instructions designed to elevate your dental health to new heights.

Beyond her professional responsibilities, Michelle plays the role of a nurturer, wife, and mother. She is happily married and is the proud matriarch of an energetic quartet of boys. Even with the fast-paced demands of her family life, Michelle continues to make a tangible difference in the lives of our patients by making sure they feel comfortable and well-taken care of during their visits. Her dedication lies in the intersection of her passion for family, and commitment to the betterment of oral health for all patients.

Meet Amber, one of our fantastic Dental Hygienists at Bear Valley Dental Center. A compassionate professional, she’s been defining new standards of patient care with her cheerful and gentle demeanor for more than two years. Graduation from Moreno Valley College cemented her foundation in dental hygiene, but she’s not satisfied yet – Amber is ambitiously pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in the field to further her skill set. Patients frequently comment on the relaxed and comfortable environment she creates, which is a testament to Amber’s commitment and immense contribution to our center’s success. Outside her workspace, Amber cherishes bonding moments with her husband and their two adorable French bulldogs. She also loves to soak in the joys of life’s simple pleasures – camping at serene destinations, venturing to the lake, or hopping in for exhilarating off-roading adventures. Amber is not just a crucial member of our dental team, she’s part of our family, guiding our practice’s journey in creating bright smiles every day.
