Marissa , DA

Dental Assistant

Marissa has been a patient of Dr. Nuttle for over 15 years now-she practically grew up with us. She is currently attending DVC, studying Physical Therapy.  She is a smart and independent thinker.  We are very proud of all of her accomplishments so far.

Marissa initially joined us to help out with a minor role, but she proved to us that she is a major player in our office. Her upbeat personality and strong reliability make a perfect dental assistant for our office. 

When she is not working, Marissa enjoys 80’s music and traveling.  She is also an avid sports player in soccer, volleyball, and swimming.  

Dr. Nuttle is perhaps the most hidden gem in the Bay Area Dental scene. She and her staff provide the best dental experience imaginable. Dr. Nuttle takes the time to explain in detail each step and the reason for it. Her hygenists corps are delightful and follow up with extreme friendliness and courtesy. But the best part is, Dr. Nuttle is avaialble on Saturdays.

Dr. Nuttle has been my children's dentist for several years. She and her entire staff is simply EXCELLENT, very kid-friendly, thorough and easy-going. Her office is immaculate - a kind of place that is hygenically picture perfect. She provides such a great experience that my 5 and 6 year-olds LIKE going to the dentist! Dr. Nuttle explains her entire process, step-by-step, to her patients in a manner that even her youngest ones understand. I recommend her to all of my friends and family, and to any stranger who is looking for quality, safe, clean dental care for their little ones. I am EXTREMELY picky as to who cares for my precious cargo, and am completely at ease with Dr. Nuttle ( and you will be, too)!

We have had a wonderful long relationship with Dr. Nuttle and her staff. From the front office all the way back to the dental assistants to Dr. Nuttle, they are all so caring and take whatever time is necessary with my daughter (and me). They have not only taught my daughter about good oral hygiene, they also have shared with me what I can do to help my daughter at home to make sure she will have strong, healthy teeth now and in the future. It's been a true blessing that Dr. Nuttle not only provides dental care, but also provides orthodontics. The trust of Dr. Nuttle and her staff was solidified immediately so many years ago and continues as strongly as ever today.

Dr. Nuttle and her wonderful staff have continually made our visits pleasant and accomodating. My children have been patients of hers for more than 9 years. The staff's professionalism is a real treat, and although we live in Fairfield, we still and will continue to cross the bridge for their services. Thank you, Dr. Nuttle and caring staff!

We don't mind driving 30 to 45 minutes for my children's appointments. Dr. Nuttle and the staff keep us on our toes with appoitnments, hygiene and recommendations. It's very important for all children to feel comfortable with their dentists. See Dr. Nuttle if you can!
