Dr. Mariscal’s office is very high-energy. There’s always something spirited happening among her staff, whether they’re wearing bedazzled T-shirts or making watermelon slushies — and patients notice.
Comfortable dentistry. “The new topical anesthetics are fantastic,” Dr. Mariscal says, “but patients really love our massage chairs.” They also surely enjoy the office’s free Wi-Fi and the entertainment system that streams Netflix during treatment.
Pandora’s glorious mishmash: country Monday, classic-rock Tuesday, Pink Floyd Wednesday. . . .
“Go for it!” she enthuses, adding, “I think dentistry is a great career for women. I can have a thriving practice and still spend time with my kids.”
