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.

Claudia Jimenez, R.D.H.
Hello! My name is Claudia Jimenez. I was born in Caracas, Venezuela. I come from a big family of six brother always very closed even the distance between the different places we live. Everyone in my family has different professions, and since my first visit to the dentist when I was young, I knew that this was what I wanted to be. I studied and graduated from the leading dental college Central University of Venezuela in Caracas and was very proud and please to be became a dentist, then I started to work as a general dentist in Caracas. Shortly after, I received a grant for postgraduate studies in Europe. Thus, my husband and I moved to Madrid, Spain, where I received my Master degree in Prosthodontics from the Complutense Universtity de Madrid and also studied at the University of Granada to receive the license to practice dentistry in the European Community, which I achieved in 1999. My husband's company decided to open a regional office in Miami, so we moved here in 2000. Once we were established here, I took all the exams and provide all requirements in order to become a licensee Dental Hygienist in Florida. Now I have realized how special and important this area of dentistry is. Since 2006 I have been working with Dr. Neuwirth, and during these years I have been continuing attending to different training seminars and conferences for being updated on the latest techniques and equipments. In 2007 I became a busy proud mother and that is why you will not see me in the office some days of the week. I enjoy being able to work closely with people and help them to improve their oral health. I am very pleased to be part of a very excellent professional team. I offer you professional, updated therapies in a caring manner. My aim is your complete satisfaction with my therapies.
