Nate Duran

Hygienist

My name is Nate, I graduated in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Dental Hygiene here at the University of New Mexico. I have enjoyed working with ABQ Gentle Dentistry and helping patients over these past years. I always strive to provide my patients with a friendly and positive dental experience. In my spare time, I love doing anything outdoors ranging from hunting, mountain biking, and snowboarding with my wife and our four-legged pal, Chevy.

Lisa Montoya

Lead Assistant

My name is Elysia Montoya, but I go by Lisa. I grew up here in ABQ NM and graduated from Sandia High School in 2011. I went to PIMA for Dental Assisting and graduated in 2013. I have worked in the dental profession ever since. I love helping someone gain confidence and remember the joy of smiling. I have specialized in making crowns for about a decade. In my spare time, I drive fast, and slide down mountains. When I slow down I like to watch a good cheesy rom-com. 

Caressa Goodman

Dental Assistant

My name is Caressa. I am originally from Durango, CO. My early education was in American HomeSchool/Durango High School. I have worked in the dental industry for over 20 years. I love helping people overcome their fears and have fun coming to see us. Some fun facts about myself are I love my family (husband of 25 years & two great kids). I also love camping in my teepee and snorkeling.
