Dr. Sandra Vargas
Dr. Sandra Vargas is the owner of North Atlanta Family Dentistry and the founder of Together We Smile, a 501(c)3 nonprofit. As a child growing up in Colombia, South America, Sandra empathized with the struggling communities that were not able to get the support needed for the necessities of life, and generation after generation lived in extreme poverty. Sandra founded the Together We Smile charity to make an immediate impact on these communities and to realize her dream of service to the people of these communities that Sandra carried with her from childhood. The charity delivers medical treatment, supplies and health education. Now that makes us smile! TogetherWeSmile.org
