Dr. Jan Gabus

Dr. Jan Gabus practiced dentistry for more than 36 years in Menlo Park. He retired in March 2018 and established two scholarship endowments, one in honor of his dental assistant, Marisol Lopez, and one in honor of his dental hygienist, Yelena Chianurov. Marisol was his right hand woman for 28 years and Yelena took care of his patients for 15 years. Both of these woman were an essential part of his practice and he couldn’t have been as successful without their dedication.

Dr. Gabus recognizes the struggle of immigrants and those who are first generation in obtaining their college education. This scholarship is intended for those immigrant/first generation students who are pursuing their dental assisting degrees.
