 My name is Debbie and I am the office manager/financial coordinator.

Our friendly staff and caring doctors will quickly make you feel like part of our family.
I am here to help you with any concerns you may have and to help you with our financial policies, payment options, and insurance issues. It is rewarding to help patients find a way to get the treatment they desire and deserve.

I am glad you are joining our family of patients. I know you will be very happy here.

 My name is Colleen. I have been in the dental field for 30 years. I am a graduate of St. Mary's High School, class of 1976. I attended Lynn Tech Vocational School Post Graduate Course for Dental Assisting in 1977. As a child I always knew that the dental field was something I wanted to be involved in. I am a people person and love to make people feel good about themselves. It is very important to me to have happy patients who are completing the dental work they need to become healthy, as well as being well educated about their dental health.
