Dr. Bob Stewart(Dentist and Owner)

From childhood, Dr. Bob Stewart set his sights on being dentist, and nothing tempted him to follow another career.

Born in Dallas, he was reared in San Antonio where he was an accomplished musician in high school, and president of the National Spanish Honor Society. He also excelled in sports, especially soccer, and acting. He was in two motion pictures in high school, and was featured in a television commercial while attending the prestigious University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, named the best dental college in America. Go ahead, ask him if he has a dollar. The dean of UTHSC did after catching the commercial.

Dr. Bob was selected to work with Spanish speaking patients in a clinic in San Antonio the summer of his junior year in UTHSC.

Upon graduation he worked in San Antonio and Corpus Christi before moving to Houston where he was Director of a large dental consortium. Eighteen years ago he purchased a clinic in Pasadena that he renamed Fairmont Family Dentistry.

Dr. Bob lectures nationally and teaches other dentists a state-of-the-art technique in enthodontics, (root canal). He is considered one of the leading experts in this technique, which not only reduces procedure time, but increases the treatment’s success rate.

He also attends continuing education courses to keep abreast in the latest developments in all areas of dentistry.

“ I take care of each patient that is in my chair as if they were a member of my very own family,” he says.

And family is important to Dr. Bob. He is married to Kim, who handles marketing and patient relations, and they have three teenagers, Christi, Coco, and Bobby.

Busy in his children’s lives, Dr. Bob loves to take his son hunting. Ask him about his latest hunt, he may try to talk you into going with him! You’ll find him watching his daughter, Christi, hone her equestrian skills, three times a week. She recently sold her prize pony to Miley Cyrus's little sister, Noah. Meanwhile Coco keeps him busy practicing her pottery skills or babysitting. Babysitting gives her peace and places her where she loves to be, taking care of children.  She hopes to be a pediatrician one day!

In his spare time he chases his wife around the block, unless she slows down enough to let him keep up when they are out running. Other hobbies include water skiing, racquetball, golf, boating, and soccer. He is very active as a Deacon in his church, Bammel Church of Christ.

Dr. Sayma Memon (Board Certified Periodontist)

 Reared in the lush beauty of Western India, where she played in the cool mountains and lush foothills of her small hometown, Dr. Sayma Memon has discovered a new love in the hot scrub desert and flat plains of South Texas.Weekends find her camping with her husband, a computer engineer, and their two children.

“I get the love of outdoors from my husband. He has traveled to more than 15 countries, “she says. He piqued her interest, when they first met, with stories about scuba diving, jet skiing, “and weird sports I wouldn’t think of doing.” So, traveling in the great outdoors is her hobby. “I especially enjoy nature,” she says, listing Yellowstone National Park, Lake Tahoe, and California as her favorites. “We camp in Austin and San Antonio, and next on our list is Alaska.” She wants her children to come to love the outdoors also.

Dr. Memon enjoys caring for the patients in the Pasadena area.  Currently, she is practicing in this office every other Monday.  In additional to gum surgery, she also places implants for  permanent tooth replacement and stabilizing dentures.

Art Barragan (Dental Assistant)
Art Barragan’s hands gently help you receive the best of care as he deftly assists the office dentist. But, outside the office, one of his hobbies is boxing. That’s quite a contrast for the sweet-natured father of three, who has worked for Fairmont Family Dentistry for ten years.

Married for ten years to Yajaira, the couple has three boys, Giovanni, Jonathan and Chris.  Art is know for his gentle, helpful nature (He often escorts elderly patients to their car, and has been seen crawling on all fours to help find a missing earring.) and fellow employees know his keen sense of humor. You’ll have to ask them about it.

Art was reared in Roma (TX) where he graduated from Roma High School before attending the San Marcos Dental Assisting School.

“I like to care for our patients. I think we have a very caring staff here, and it’s a great place to work!”

Connie Ambriz (Hygene Assistant)
When not working as a dental hygiene assistant, you’ll find fun-loving Connie Ambriz playing with her two sons, Benjamin,  and Brandon. They could be reading books or watching a movie, one of Connie’s favorite pastimes. And that interest leads to another passion, reading celebrity gossip to keep up with her favorite stars. She can tell you who’s dating who.

A party waiting to happen, Connie is especially adept at easing a patient’s fear since her love of fun lightens the office. “We are a happy staff. We love to talk to the patients because we understand that many people are scared. I know that with just talking to them it helps them to ease their fears.”

A Houston native, Connie is a graduate of Sam Houston High School, and has worked at Fairmont Family Dentistry for eight years.

Kim Stewart (Patient Relations)
Kim Stewart was born in Detroit. “But I got to Texas as soon as I could.”

Dr. Bob’s glad she did. Not only is she in charge of marketing and patient relations, but she’s his wife. They have three children, Christi, Coco, and Bobby IV. Reared in Houston, where she attended the The High School for Performing and Visual Arts, she graduated from the University of Houston. She taught kindergarten and gave birth to three children before joining Dr. Bob at the clinic four years ago.

“Our doctors are the best – but I guess I am most partial to Dr. Bob (guess I better be!) They are incredibly gentle and in tune to your comfort. I love working here and taking care of our patients,” she says.

In the middle of raising three teenagers, Kim spends most of her time with her family.  

She is an avid runner and has completed marathons in Houston and Walt Disney World in Orlando. You bet, Dr. Bob ran with her, about two miles behind her most of the way.

Debora Gutierrez (Office Manager & Treatment Coordinator)
Odds are when Office Manager and Treatment Coordinator Debora Gutierrez schedule’s an appointment, she’ll ask you to be a little bit early to keep the day running on schedule.

She knows all about coming early since she was born a month prematurely while her parents were on vacation in Acapulco. Two days later her parents flew back to Houston where Debora joined her five siblings, all boys.

She graduated from Bellaire High School, then attended the University of Houston and San Jacinto College before coming to work at Fairmont Family Dentistry ten years ago.

Her hobbies are her husband, Manuel, and son, Aaron. You bet, she’s willing to share a ton of pictures should you ask.

“I have worked for other dentists and there is no one there like the doctors here! They treat everyone with a caring attitude, genuine smile, and a tender touch. I consider everyone here my second family!” That’s why she’ll probably greet you by name when you enter the office.

Natalie Villareal (Financial Coordinator)
Natalie Villareal is one of the first faces you see when you enter the office. She smiles a lot. Not because it’s her job to greet you, but because she has a zest for life that translates into thousands of hours as a “volunteer.”

You might see her behind the scenes at her children’s school, or working with the March of Dimes, or the United Way, or swinging a hammer on a Habitat for Humanity project. Special Olympics, Christmas food drives, and helping Santa find patients at the hospital round out her busy schedule.

Reared in Pasadena, she is a graduate of Pasadena High School, and attended San Jacinto College. Natalie is the mother of two girls, Ravae and Ralynn.

The newest member of the Fairmont Family Dentistry team, she has been here four years.

“I love how we treat and interact with our patients. We are a very friendly office that makes patients feel very welcome and comfortable.”
