Alejandra
Clinic Coordinator/Dental Assistant
Welcome to our practice! I love working with such wonderful patients and a truly talented dentist. I will be happy to help schedule your appointments, speak with you on the phone when you call, and greet you as you enter the reception area. I want to make sure every patient feels right at home here, and that every appointment is a positive experience. One of my greatest parts of the day is helping our Spanish speaking patients coordinate every aspect of their treatment. I joined the Desert Sun team in 2008, and I enjoy working with Dr. Klingel because he is easy to talk to and very comprehensive in his work. My husband Manuel and I are blessed with two beautiful little girls. In my spare time I enjoy reading, shopping, scrap-booking, and spending as much time as possible with my friends and family.

Our practice is a wonderful part of our community, and I want to make sure everyone has a positive dental experience. Dr. Klingel is great at what he dose, and is always teaching us new and emerging dentistry to better serve our patients. My husband and I have three wonderful children and four beautiful grandchildren. On the days that I am not greeting patients at the reception desk, I can be found having a grandma day once a week or mentoring the youth in my church.
