Meet the Team at Image Dental & Orthodontics

Phillip Devore, DDS

I have enjoyed the privilege and challenge of practicing dentistry since my graduation from UCLA in 1980. My career has basically been devoted to three elements of practice; patient care, teaching students in the dental schools, and consulting work for colleagues. While my life’s work has always involved all three of these areas of my specialty, I have been more or less involved with these aspects at different times during my career.

Rana Faranesh, DMD

Finding the ideal balance between professional life and personal life can often be precarious, especially for such professions as dentistry that demand incredible commitment. For Dr. Rana Faranesh, walking this wire is made less problematic by the genuine enjoyment she derives from refining her technique.

Gizelle Lyoubi, DDS

Dr. Gizelle grew up in South Lake Tahoe, California. As a young child, Dr. Gizelle enjoyed skiing on the mountain slopes and making snow angels, often returning to visit. She attended the University of Nevada Las Vegas where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Afterwards, Dr. Gizelle was accepted into the Loma Linda School of Dentistry and began her adventure into dental school.

When asked what other adventures she partakes in she said “I am guilty of having a sweet tooth and enjoy baking on my time off. I’ve also recently started taking salsa lessons to improve on my dancing skills.” Travelling and visiting different countries happens to be another of her favorite pass times, especially in the company of her family as she is the eldest of four siblings.

Looking ahead, Dr. Gizelle aims to give the best care she can to as many people as she can reach.
