Meet the Team

Kelly, Dental Hygienist

For over 20 years, Kelly has offered our patients excellent and detailed care. She loves working with people, building relationships with her coworkers and patients, and helping everyone achieve their smile goals. Kelly studied at the State University of New York in Brockport and Onondaga Community College. She was certified in dental hygiene by the North East Regional Board of Dental Examiners and also maintains certifications in CPR and OSHA safety standards.

Originally from Syracuse, Kelly is happily married with two wonderful children and two dogs (Labrador retrievers). She loves spending time with family and friends and traveling to warm, sunny locations with them. Their favorite destination is Aruba, but they also enjoy Disney vacations, family weekend trips, and golf outings. Kelly was once a level 10 USAG gymnast who went to the AAU Junior Olympics, but her kids have no interest in gymnastics!

Gia, Hygiene Assistant

Gia joined us in 2023, and she loves her coworkers and the fact that no two days are ever the same in our practice. She graduated from SUNY Oneonta and likes to relax at home by making art, cooking, and cuddling her three cats.

Patti K, Registered Dental Hygienist

Patti has been a hygienist for more than 30 years and remains as passionate about helping her patients as she always has been. She previously studied at SUNY Canton and SUNY Onondaga Community College. Patti and her husband have four children together, and when she’s not at the office she enjoys skiing, reading for her book club, sewing, and rollerblading. She also enjoys cooking and creating new recipes.

Since joining our team in 2018, Emily has played a crucial role in helping our patients achieve optimal oral health. She studied at the Dental Assisting School of Syracuse and has undergone advanced training in infection control with the Dental Assisting National Board. Today, her favorite part of her job is helping patients feel genuinely confident about their smile! Outside the office, she enjoys spending time with her loved ones, especially her gorgeous little girl.

Emily has over 10 years of experience in the dental field, and she says her job is all about helping people become more confident in their smiles. Originally from Syracuse, she graduated from Hudson Valley Community College before joining our team. Outside of dentistry, she likes to go shopping and work out at the gym.

Courtney, Dental Assistant

Courtney says that her primary focus is helping our patients feel comfortable while she educates and empowers them to take care of their teeth between appointments. She received her certificate in dental assisting through OCM Boces and comes from Munnsville.

At home, Courtney has a young daughter and son waiting for her, and when she isn’t spending time with them, you’ll usually find her journaling, writing, seeing live music, or enjoying the outdoors.

Christine, Front Desk/Receptionist/Scheduling Coordinator

Since 2001, Christine has offered patients a friendly smile and made everyone she sees feel welcome and comfortable at their dental appointments. She loves getting to know our patients, meeting new people every day, and serving them alongside our awesome team members. She studied at Onondaga Community College and grew up nearby in Solvay, NY.

Christine’s family is very close-knit, and she loves spending time with them, especially her young son. When she has the opportunity, she enjoys cooking, reading, and watching Netflix while surrounded by her “small zoo” of animals.
