Yelena Korotchenko

Registered Dental Hygienist

I was born in Kazakhstan into a dentist's family. When I was 16 years old, I started to work as a dental assistant at my parents’ office. Our family moved to the United States in 1994, and after 5 months started to work as a dental assistant at a dental office in West Sacramento. I got my RDA license in 1996. After my parents opened a dental office in Citrus Heights, I worked as office manager and RDA. In 2009, I got my RDH license and have been practicing ever since. During my time off, I like to spend time with my children. We love traveling, reading, and playing with our three cats.
