Suzette Almazan is a dental assistant at the Salt Lake City location (Wasatch Perio) and brings a thoughtful, patient-focused approach to her role. With experience assisting in general dentistry and a growing interest in periodontics, she enjoys being part of procedures that improve patients’ oral health and confidence over time.

Suzette values creating a comfortable and supportive experience for every patient. She is especially appreciated by Spanish-speaking patients for helping them better understand their treatment and feel at ease during their visit.

If a patient feels anxious, Suzette takes the time to listen, offer reassurance, and ensure they feel supported—whether through clear communication or simple comforts during treatment. She believes it is essential for every patient to feel heard and confident in their care decisions.

Known for being kind, empathetic, and attentive, Suzette enjoys working alongside Dr. Thunell and the team, where a calm environment and strong communication contribute to a positive patient experience.

Outside of work, she enjoys building terrariums, rescuing betta fish, going to the gym, and spending time with her siblings.
