Chloe Fowler-Chavez
Manager
Hi there, I’m Chloe. I was born and raised right here in Tucson, Arizona! I started my career in dentistry in 2010 as a clinical assistant. As my skill set grew, I found that my calling was in the administrative aspect of the dental office. My passion lies in developing a trusting relationship with our clients and managerial-administrative functions. Getting to know my patients and providing the upmost care is my number one priority!
When I’m not in the office, I’m likely cheering on my daughter at her volleyball games or yelling from the stands at my son’s basketball/baseball games! My husband Jim and I are living out our farm dreams, we have two dogs Darth and Darla, and two goats Bob and Jet! Stay tuned for the next addition!
Cristina Salazar Lopez
Dental Assistant
Hello! I’m Cristina Salazar Lopez, a passionate and dedicated dentist who was originally born in the United States but raised in Mexico. At 28 years old, I have had the privilege of experiencing two vibrant cultures, and my first language is Spanish. I completed my dental studies in Mexico, where I gained extensive knowledge and hands-on experience in dentistry.
Currently, I am based in the U.S., where I am working and transferring my credentials to obtain my U.S. dental license. This transition is an exciting step for me as I strive to combine my expertise from Mexico with the opportunities available here to provide the highest quality care to my patients.
In addition to my professional journey, I value the balance between work, family, and personal growth. I look forward to continuing my education, broadening my practice, and contributing to the community in the years to come.
Erika Haro
Business Assistants
Hi, my name is Erika, and I am a mother/bonus mom to three wonderful kiddos: Amari, Lincoln, and Manny. In addition, I am a Fiancé & Pet mom. I was born and raised here in Tucson, but I am always learning new things about the desert or discovering new places to explore or dine. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family, especially my grandparents. Other favorite pastimes are going to U of A Baseball games and hunting for deals at Goodwill. Here at Buena Vida Dental Studio, I am one of the Business Assistants. I enjoy greeting patients as they arrive at the office and educating them on the wide array of services we offer. We are here to support you and your overall health and help you achieve your dental goals!
