Our Team

Natalie

Patient Care Coordinator

With over 16 years in healthcare, I’ve had the opportunity to work in both the medical and dental fields. After a decade in medicine, I transitioned to dentistry, where I’ve spent the last six years focusing on patient care. Outside of work, I’m an avid reader, enjoy traveling, and love spending time with my family. I also have a deep appreciation for animals, crafts and flowers, which always brighten my day!

Mary

Hygienist

With over 20 years of experience in dental hygiene, I am passionate about providing excellent care and helping patients achieve and maintain healthy smiles. My expertise in preventive care is matched by a commitment to making every visit a positive and educational experience.

When I’m not in the office, I love to explore the world. Traveling to different countries and sampling new cuisines is one of my favorite pastimes, as I’m a true foodie at heart. I also enjoy spending time in nature, especially hiking in our beautiful national parks. An animal lover through and through, I consider my pets to be an important part of my family. In the summer, you can often find me at the beach, relaxing with a good book and soaking in the sun. I also love to bake, especially around the holidays, when I get to share my treats with family and friends!

Brittany

Dental Assistant

Hi, I’m Brittany, and I’ve been a dental assistant for over 5 years, having graduated from the New York School of Medical and Dental Assistants. With hands-on experience in various clinical procedures—from taking X-rays to assisting in treatments—I’m passionate about making sure every patient feels comfortable and at ease in the dental chair. When I’m not helping people smile, I enjoy bowling nights, discovering new adventures every month, and binge-watching TV shows in my downtime. I also love making new connections and building friendships along the way!
