Beautiful Smiles
in Rochester, MI

Hi! My name is Melvina and I am a dedicated dental assistant with a passion for oral health care and a goal of becoming a dentist. I enjoy working closely with patients, ensuring they feel comfortable and well-cared for during their visits. Outside of work, I stay active by playing volleyball. I am committed to furthering my education and skills in dentistry, aiming to make a positive impact in the field.

I’m Magdalena: I have had the opportunity to meet and assist the oral health needs of many patients over 15 years. I feel accomplished when I can change a previous negative experience into a comfortable one! When I’m not at the office, I enjoy family time with my husband and two kids. Our team at Dr. Channo is very excited to meet you!

With over 15 years of experience in the dental field, working in both the United States and France, I am passionate about providing exceptional patient care and helping people feel confident in their smiles. My background in dental assisting and front office administration has given me valuable experience and a deep appreciation for every aspect of dentistry. I take great pride in making patients feel comfortable, welcomed, and cared for.
