We have a very young team at Desert Valley Dentistry & Spa, because we partner with local high schools to offer externship opportunities for students pursuing careers as hygienists and dental assistants. These high school students are gaining valuable hands-on experience as they learn to become professionals in these fields. Our dentist and team are heavily involved in training various high school students and are the only dental practice in Glendale, Arizona, that offers this type of medical assisting program.

When you visit Dr. Julie Benjamin Hodge, you are not just another patient — you are a part of our family. Our team is committed to making your experience as comfortable and personalized as possible. We take the time to get to know you, listen to your concerns and make sure you feel heard and understood. With a blend of skill, compassion and communication, we will ensure your visit is stress-free and that your smile is in good hands. Call us at 480-448-0888 to schedule your visit with us today!

Dental Assistant

I’m Thanh Dao, a dental assistant and dedicated pre-dental student with a strong passion for dentistry. Working as a dental assistant has given me valuable hands-on experience and deepened my commitment to patient care. I’m deeply committed to patient care, always striving to create a positive, comfortable experience for every individual. As I continue studying dentistry, I’m focused on expanding my knowledge and skills to provide the highest level of care and compassion to those I serve. Outside of the clinic, I enjoy arts and crafts and staying active.
