Dr. Diana Vazquez
The dentist who asks first.
Ask her patients what she's like and you'll hear the same thing: she listens. Dr. Vazquez takes her time, explains your scans in plain language, and never makes anyone feel bad about how long it's been. She treats kids, grown-ups and everyone who's a little scared of the chair.
Why dentistry
It started in high school.
As a high school student, Diana joined a program that let her shadow and assist in a local dental office that treated elementary school kids: cleanings, fillings, lots of nervous little faces. She loved how a gentle, patient approach could turn a scary visit into a good one.
That's still how she practices. She went on to Southern Methodist University, then Baylor College of Dentistry, met Dr. Aldana along the way, and in 2021 the two of them opened Soleil.

Off the clock
Walks, audiobooks and Emma.
Diana met her husband, Joel, in college, and the two are parents to their daughter, Emma. Free time means long walks, a good audiobook, and planning the next trip somewhere with a culture she hasn't explored yet.
