Welcome to Riverwalk Dental!
My name is Claudia Quan. I was born in Miami, Florida, and moved to Santa Fe the summer after 7th grade. I graduated from St. Michael’s High School and went on to receive a Bachelor of Science from The University of New Mexico. In 2014, I graduated from the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine. After dental school, I moved back to New Mexico to complete a postdoctoral Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency at UNM. After living away from home for so many years, I am blessed to be back and honored to serve patients from Santa Fe and surrounding areas.
My love for dentistry became a reality after I graduated from college in 2006. I started working as a pediatric dental assistant and immediately fell in love with dentistry. From my first day as a dental assistant, I knew I wanted to become a dentist. My favorite aspects of dentistry are working with my hands and educating patients on the importance of a healthy mouth and the connection between oral health and a healthy body.
When I’m not at the office you can find me at the park with my daughter, running outdoors with my fiancé, grabbing a cup of coffee from a local coffee shop, and enjoying family time.
I invite you with an open mind to explore all your dental possibilities. Allow us to gently ease any dental anxiety you are holding on to and help you heal from oral disease. With you in control of your dental health and the help of our wonderful team at Riverwalk Dental, the possibilities are endless.
Hi my name is Brenda Caracheo. I graduated from the University of New Mexico in 2016. I am bilingual. I have had the pleasure of working in both private and public health settings. I am a dedicated dental hygiene clinician and passionate about helping patients with their oral health. I truly enjoy educating patients about proper oral hygiene, preventative care, and the connection between oral health and systemic diseases. I strive to provide individualized, and compassionate care.
Outside of dental hygiene, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, traveling, dancing, new restaurants, and participating in school activities. I also like learning new things and meeting new people!
I look forward to welcoming you to River Walk Dental and allowing me to help you maintain a healthy smile!
I’ve been a dental hygienist for 7 years and have had the privilege of working in various dental backgrounds such as holistic dentistry, public health, clinical education, and am certified as an orofacial myofunctional therapist. I am very passionate about the dental field and always aim to deliver the best services and care I can for my patients. I was born and raised in Las Cruces, New Mexico and just recently moved to Las Vegas, New Mexico. My family and I have fallen in love with northern New Mexico. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with family where we do lots of fishing, exploring, and traveling.
