About Svetlana S. Yesin, DDS
Svetlana Yesin was born and raised in Pervomaisk, Nikolaev Region of Ukraine to parents who were dental technicians. Growing up, she spent countless hours in her parents’ laboratory, observing the creation of crowns and dentures. From a very young age, Svetlana developed an interest in art and science and passion for helping people. She wanted to become a dentist, but it seemed like an unattainable dream at that time. She finished youth art school and later on obtained her nursing degree. Working in the hospital as a nurse started her career in healing. In 1993, Svetlana and her family immigrated to the United States. They arrived in San Francisco and have called the Bay Area their home ever since. After qualifying for her license as a Registered Nurse, Svetlana began to work as a neurosurgery/orthopedics clinical nurse at UCSF Hospital.
