I will like to introduce myself. I am a licensed / registered Dental Hygenist in the state of Florida. I was born in Cuba and consequently moved to florida with my family at a very early age. In 1983 I graduated from the University of Miami with a Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry. From there, I went to Philidelphia to attend Dental School at Temple University. After successfully completing the dental program I practiced in New Jersey and New York for 10 years. In 1999 I returned to South Florida with my husband of 21 years and have settled and become part of the community. My first priority is my family and I spend most of my free time with them. I enjoy Tai Chi, bicycling, shopping, watersports and just being outdoors in the garden. I look forward to meeting you and assisting you with your dental care, making it as comfortable as possible.

Hello! My name is Claudia Jimenez. I was born in Caracas, Venezuela and I am the youngest of six children. I am the only girl!.

I studied and graduated from the leading dental college, Universidad Central de Venezuela in Caracas and was very proud and pleased to be become a dentist. During my years at the college I met my husband. We dated for seven years before we were married.Shortly thereafter, I received a grant for postgraduate studies in Europe. Thus, my husband, Javier and I moved to Madrid, Spain. Then, I received my specialty degree in Prosthodontics and also receive my license to practice dentistry in all of the countries belonging the European Community. In my spare time I enjoy travelling, reading, going to the movies and helping my friend with their interior decorating.
