Staff

Hi, my name is Mary and I am the office manager for Dr. Cristoforo's practice. I have been working for Dr. Cristoforo for nine years. I thoroughly enjoy working with the patients and try to answer their questions pertaining to their insurance benefits, arranging financial plans, questions regarding their periodontal or dental implant treatment, and also stress the importance of taking care of their oral health. If I cannot answer a question regarding the patient's treatment concerns, I will refer it back to Dr. Cristoforo, who is always available to answer questions regarding treatment.

I enjoy working in Dr. Cristoforo's practice because Dr. Cristoforo is caring and genuinely concerned about all of his patients and their needs. He does his best to make sure that they are comfortable with all aspects of treatment. The staff is also very caring and very friendly. We enjoy working together and always get the job done together. It is truly a pleasure to go to work each day and be in such a nice environment.

My hobbies include spending time with my husband, our two children, our families and our two golden retrievers, Taylor and Dakota. I also enjoy playing tennis (very much!), walking, gardening and entertaining.

Hello, my name is Kathy and I am a Patient Care Coordinator. I have been working with Dr. Cristoforo since 1999. As a Patient Care Coordinator I am here to greet you in person and on the phone. I will ensure that your treatment from start to finish is a smooth one, from scheduling appointments to answering any questions you may have.

Outside the office, I enjoy playing golf and watching various sports activities on TV with my husband and chauffeuring around my two children ages 9 and 5. I also like to curl up with a good book when I have some "quiet time."

What I like best about working with Dr. Cristoforo is the way he promotes a very nurturing and family-like atmosphere making anyone that comes into our office feel right at home.

My name is Terry. I am a dental assistant in Dr. Cristoforo's office. I have been in the dental field for 12 years, and have been exposed to the dental field my whole life. My father owned one of the largest dental labs in New York may years ago, and my brothers now own a large dental lab in California. I have been married for 20 years and have two children and a dog (Chewie). I have been working for Dr. Cristoforo for one year, as his chairside assistant. I have to say that I love what I do. By assisting the doctor in different procedures, I find it is a constant learning experience plus it gives me a sense of closeness with each patient.

From the first day that I started working in Dr. Cristoforo's office, I have felt at home, because of its warm and friendly atmosphere. When I'm not working in the office, I enjoy going to the gym and being with my family.

Hello, my name if Jean, and I am a Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH). I have over 30 years of periodontal experience, the last 2-1/2 years with Dr. Cristoforo.

I enjoy working with my patients, individualizing treatment for their specific needs and seeing them respond to it. It is gratifying to see patients master their home care and how much better people feel when they have healthy gums and a brighter smile.

I like working for Dr. Cristoforo very much. He is an excellent clinician and he really cares about his patients and his staff. We are all taking various courses to update our knowledge and keep apprised of current technology.

I have been married to my husband, Richard for 30 years and we have 3 grown children. I enjoy reading, walking and traveling.

Hi, my name is Dana. I am one of four dental hygienists in our office, and a member of ADIA (Association of Dental Implant Auxiliaries). I have been working in the dental field for 19 years and the last 1-½ years with Dr. Cristoforo.

I enjoy meeting new people and helping them achieve a happier, healthier smile. Working with Dr. Cristoforo' office has energized me because the entire staff takes pride in each of their jobs and that is shown in the quality work they do.

I am married to my best friend, Marc for the last three years. Together, we have a wonderful (and active) 13 month old son, Bryce. I enjoy bike riding, baseball, hockey and crocheting.
