Beyond Dental Care Staff
Dariene Lazore, DMD
With over fourteen years of practice, Dr. Lazore comes highly recommended. She is very experienced and knowledgeable in Family Dentistry and is often complimented on her ability to make patients feel at ease. She utilizes advanced technology to provide excellent patient results. The goal in opening her own private practice was to provide patients with a modern, honest, and welcoming dental home.
Dr. Lazore has been involved with numerous organizations, including Mission of Mercy, Give Kids A Smile, World Health Organization, American Dental Association, and Special Olympics/Special Smiles. She has traveled overseas to provide humanitarian care in Japan, Cambodia, and the Dominican Republic. She has been affiliated with two different local academic institutions, as an instructor for dental and dental hygiene students. Dr. Lazore also served as a Naval Officer for thirteen years in the Navy Reserves. She received her Bachelor’s Degree from Ottawa University and then went on to receive two Master’s degrees in Public Health and Health Administration from A.T. Still University. Lastly, she obtained her Doctor of Dental Medicine from the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health in Mesa, AZ in 2012.
When not engaged in dentistry, Dr. Lazore loves being outdoors with her family and dogs. She grew up in Arkansas going camping, hiking, and fishing. Her family’s goal is to visit all the National Parks in the United States- they have been to thirty so far!
Office Manager: Savannah
Savannah started as a dental assistant while living in Chicago fifteen years ago. She worked her way up to the front desk and then eventually to office manager. Working in dentistry allows her to meet new people and witness the personal transformations that patients experience when improving their oral health. She strives to ensure that each patient has the best possible experience in our office.
Savannah moved to Arizona in 2018. She is originally from Fresno, CA, where her family still resides, and she visits often. Savannah enjoys volunteering to rescue stray dogs and feed unhoused dogs. She is very passionate about animal rescue and would love to have her own dog rescue one day!
Team Member: Mr. Woodford
Mr. Woodford is the star of the show at Beyond Dental Care! His calm demeanor and loving personality will put a smile on your face. He enjoys getting attention from everyone, and can often be found snoozing in Dr Lazore’s office.
Mr. Woodford comes to us from Stealing Hearts Rescue in Phoenix, AZ. He was adopted by Dr Lazore a few years ago. Sadly, he had been shot with a pellet gun and left to fend for himself in the Arizona heat. He has several missing teeth so it is thought that he chewed his way out of a fence or cage. But now his days are filled with treats, air conditioning, comfy beds, and tons of love!
