Office Manager
Christal Jephson
Hi, I’m Christal! I was born and raised in Toronto, with roots in both Canada and the Philippines. I’ve always loved animals and nature — camping with my family every year is one of my favorite traditions, and in the winter, I enjoy skiing whenever I get the chance.
After graduating high school in 2019, I completed the Dental Assisting program at Durham College in 2022. I'm currently continuing my education to become a Dental Hygienist, as I’m passionate about oral health and helping people feel confident in their smiles.
In addition to being a certified Dental Assistant, I’m also the Office Manager here at Maxome Finch Dental Care. I love working in a place where we treat each other — and every patient — with respect and kindness. It’s rewarding to be part of a team that truly cares.
Saba Behzad
Office Administrator
Hey there! I'm Saba, your friendly Dental Office Administrator. I originally immersed myself in the world of Architecture and Project Management but took a turn a few years back toward the vibrant realm of dental care. I thrive on connecting with people and making new friends. Being the go-to person in a dental office isn't just about paperwork and appointments for me – it's a chance to spread good vibes and make everyone's visit a positive experience.
Let's keep those smiles shining!
Gissle Fostanes
Dental assistant
Hello! My name is Giselle. I was born in the Philippines and moved to Canada when I was 8 years old. I graduated from the Level I & II Dental Assisting program in 2024.
Dentistry wasn’t my original career plan — it wasn’t until a friend introduced me to the field during the final month of college applications that I decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did, because I have absolutely no regrets!
Outside of work, I love thrifting and "thrift-flipping" — transforming second-hand finds with my sewing machine is one of my favorite creative outlets.
I feel truly fortunate to be part of the Maxome Finch Dental Care team. It’s a blessing to work in an environment filled with love, support, and respect.
Dana Suarez
Dental Assistant
Hi, I'm Dana Suarez. I was born in the Philippines and moved to Canada when I was 15. I dreamed of becoming a flight attendant and even studied Flight Services at Seneca College. But life had other plans, and along the way, I discovered a strong interest in healthcare, especially in the dental field.
I followed that passion and completed my Dental Assistant Level I and II certification, graduating in January 2025. Outside of work, I enjoy going to concerts whenever I can—it's one of my favorite ways to unwind and feel inspired. I'm also a big dog person! I have a cockapoo named Sevi, who brings so much joy and energy into my life. I truly enjoy being part of Maxome Finch Dental, a clinic that values teamwork and patient-centered care.
