Krystle Chester - Practice Manager

Krystle was born in New Mexico and moved to Phoenix, Arizona, with her mother at a young age. After graduating from Greenway High School in 2003, she attended Apollo College and earned her certification as a Veterinary Assistant in 2004. Krystle’s career began in 2005 at a busy five-doctor general practice in central Phoenix. Just a year later, Krystle joined the team of Dr. Chris Visser, a renowned veterinarian and Diplomate of the American Veterinary Dental CollegeTM. Over the 16 years dedicated to her role as a veterinary dental technician, Krystle has gained extensive experience, with career opportunities spanning dentistry training and practice management. Outside of work, Krystle enjoys natural light photography, hiking, and cheering on her favorite football teams. She treasures time spent with her three children—Natalaie, Adrien, and Ysobel—and their beloved cats.

Ricardo Perez - Practice Manager

Born and raised in South Phoenix, Ricardo is an Arizona native who has always had a passion for learning—especially in math and science. After graduating high school in 2017, he explored different paths, taking classes at Arizona State University while considering his options. His career direction became clear when a friend, a certified veterinary assistant, shared how rewarding the veterinary field could be. After hearing that, Ricardo knew that was what he needed to do. 

Ricardo quickly jumped on the opportunity to earn his Veterinary Assistant Certificate from Carrington College and began his career in general veterinary practice. Two years later, Ricardo was introduced to the specialty field of veterinary dentistry. Seeing firsthand how dentistry and oral surgery could dramatically improve animals’ health and quality of life sparked his passion for the field, where he has been dedicated ever since.

Outside of work, Ricardo is an avid fan of playing and watching sports. He’s a proud supporter of Arizona teams, especially the Arizona Cardinals and Phoenix Suns. He enjoys attending live games whenever he can. At home, Ricardo loves spending time with his three pugs—Enzo, Ellie, and Petunia—while relaxing with movies and TV shows.
