Isaac: Lead Assistant
Isaac is Dr. Panucci’s lead assistant and the go-to person for all your treatment questions. Isaac’s knowledge and amazing orthodontic experience brings to our team the enthusiasm, professionalism and expertise that the Beach Braces Team stands for and delivers. Since 2001, Isaac and Dr. Panucci have worked side by side in various orthodontic environments. Isaac also told Dr. Panucci, “When you open your practice, I am going to come and be part of this team!!”. Well- he is here and we couldn’t be more excited!! Isaac resides in the South Bay with his wife Jennifer- and when not taking amazing care of our patients, you can find him working out, biking, and anything to keep him active. Isaac comes to the Beach Braces team with over 12 years of experience in orthodontics and dental and is currently a Dental Professor for a career college in LA County. “Isaac knows his stuff!!!”

Tami: Appointment Coordinator
That friendly voice answering your phone calls is our appointment coordinator, Tami. She’s born and raised in Southern California and has now started her family roots here. As you may have noticed- Tami has braces, yes, she is one of our amazing patients! We were so excited to hear that Tami finished her dental assistant training and wanted to become part of our Beach Braces Team! What a great addition she is proving to be! When Tami is not making appointments for our patients, you can find her being a happy and dedicated Mom to her young daughter- reading books, watching movies and simply enjoying those early years of growing up! Tami is a beach girl and loves to relax when possible! When asked about the future, Tami says with a smile, “I love the dental industry, and plan on growing with my skills and education.”
