Elizabeth Grillo, RDH, works in two dental offices in the San Francisco area. For almost 10 years, she has worked for Glen Park Dental for three days week. The dental office is across the street from a subway (B.A.R.T.) station just off Interstate 280 in the south part of San Francisco.

“Glen Park Dental is amazing as far as the architecture of the office. It is the only bi-level office I know of in San Francisco that has a waterfall in the office,” she said. “They have a laser, intraoral camera, digital x-rays, and they are a completely paperless office.”

She also works one day a week at the Pacific Sky Dental office in Daly City. She recently started the position at Pacific Sky, working there on Saturdays.

“It is a pretty new office with incredible equipment to use,” Grillo said. “I wanted to work on Saturdays for half a day just to pick up extra cash. I didn’t get the job initially. So I temped for them for a while. They have at least four hygienists working for them.”
