Elizabeth graduated from Woodland High and has been in Woodland almost her whole life. She is the youngest of 8 children. She is the proud mom of Celeste, and can't believe that her daughter is already in high school! They just got an adorable yorkie puppy named No'ee. When Elizabeth isn't answering questions, or helping our Spanish speaking patients, she enjoys being our work out motivator, going to the movies, or taking her daughter out for sushi!

Carolina is our Treatment Coordinator. She has been with the office since 2006. She also grew up here in Woodland, and graduated from Woodland High. Carol is married, and has 3 children, Andres Jr., daughter Alexis, and her 1 year old son Johan. When Carolina isn't helping our new patients get acquainted with our office, or planning our next patient party or contest, or helping our Spanish speaking patients any way she can, she loves to spend precious time with her family, and she loves to shop!

Virginia has been with our office since 1997. She is a very passionate RDA, who loves what she does! She was born in Jalisco, and was raised here in Woodland, where she has been most of her life. Virginia graduated from Woodland High, is married and has 2 beautiful girls, Bianca and Alyssa. She is a very proud and active mom at her daughters' school, Holy Rosary. When Virginia isn't helping our wonderful patients, translating for our wonderful Spanish speaking patients, or helping her girls with their numerous homework projects, you can find her working out as early as she can, spending time with her family, or her specialty....crochet!!!

Pauline has been with Dr Portalupi's office since 2005. This RDA loves being part of her team, and has been in orthodontics for 13 years! She grew up in the Bay Area, but relocated to Esparto.

She's the creative one!
