I have been working alongside my wonderful husband for the past 33 years. Even though we spend most of our day in the same location, we still find plenty to talk about in our off hours.
Being involved in the office is incredibly rewarding, and I continue to marvel at the amazing dentistry we constantly perform. Our team truly feels like an extended family.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my children and granddaughter, and I also find great enjoyment in yoga, Pilates, and strength training.
I am thrilled to be part of the team at Smiles 4 A Lifetime. My journey in the dental field began more than two decades ago. Having explored many facets of dentistry I was thrilled to find my home at Smiles 4 A Lifetime with caring colleagues who share my values and vision.
I am married with two wonderful children who bring energy to my life outside of work. Balancing a busy family schedule along with work, I understand what it means to dedicate oneself wholeheartedly, whether at home or at work.
What brings me the greatest joy, both professionally and personally, is seeing the transformation in our patients. Watching smiles bloom—knowing our team has made a genuine difference. Every patient is unique, and every story matters. My goal is to ensure each person who walks through the doors at Smiles 4 A Lifetime feels welcomed, cared for, and supported on their journey to best dental health.
Hello, my name is Gina, and I’ve been proud to be part of the Smiles 4 A Lifetime team for more than 30 years. Whether I’m reaching out to schedule your appointment or greeting you at the front desk, I truly enjoy assisting you with all your dental needs.
My husband and I are blessed with three wonderful adult children. Outside of work, I cherish time spent with my family. I also love traveling, crafting, and getting lost in a good book. It’s a joy to help our patients in any way I can, and I look forward to seeing you at your next visit!
Hello everyone! My name is Aurora (uh·raw·ruh). If you’ve called to make an appointment, there’s a good chance we’ve already spoken—or we will soon.
I’ve explored diverse areas such as business, management, and dental assisting, and even pursued college studies in Forensic Science. I thrive on learning new things and am always eager to expand my horizons.
When I’m not in the office, you’ll likely find me cherishing time with my family or traveling. My maltipoo, Daisy, is never far from my side—whether we’re relaxing at home or embarking on little adventures together.
I look forward to reconnecting with familiar faces and welcoming new ones.
Hi I am Jess and I’m a Registered Dental Hygienist and the newest member of the Smiles 4 A Lifetime staff! I’m super excited to be on board! Here's a little bit about myself, I went to St. John’s University where I received my bachelor’s degree in biology. After, I went to Farmingdale State College where I received my associates in Dental Hygiene.
I have now been a hygienist for 3 1/2 years. Prior to being a hygienist I was a dental assistant, so I have been in the field for about 11 years. Can you tell that I love cleaning teeth? Making my patients happy and comfortable is my number one priority!
My name is Chodren, and for as long as I can remember, I have been passionate about working in the dental field. I am thrilled to have found my ideal role as a dental hygienist and to now be part of the full-time team at Smiles 4 A Lifetime. At Smiles 4 A Lifetime, our team takes periodontal health very seriously, and I am proud to contribute to such a dedicated group. I strongly believe in preventative dentistry and strive to ensure my patients are well educated in their home care routines. For example, I regularly demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques, offering personalized tips to help patients maintain their oral health at home. Outside of work, I value spending quality time with my family, and I also enjoy traveling and exploring new places.
I have been a dental assistant for 40 years, so basically most of my life! I have worked at Smiles 4 A Lifetime for thirty of those years. I love what I do and am grateful that I have gotten to do it with the best doctors and staff. I find it rewarding working with the patients whether it is simple procedures all the way to assisting Dr. Neil in creating beautiful new smiles. The office is my second home, and I strive to make our patients feel comfortable and cared for as I would want for myself and my family.
When not working I enjoy spending time with family. My children live out of state, so I enjoy visiting them in Miami and North Carolina. I also feel fortunate to be called Mimi by my stepson's children, who bring immense joy into my life.
I am Zmira and I am thrilled to have joined the Smiles 4 A Lifetime team. I have been working in dentistry for over 10 years and I love helping patients. It is especially gratifying when patients leave smiling and say that they had a great experience. I have a beautiful daughter and I love spending time with her playing basketball.
With nearly 30 years of experience as a dental assistant, I have found true joy working in general dentistry. For many years I worked in a pediatric dental office, where I loved helping children feel comfortable during their visit.
Throughout my career, I have been passionate about my work, always eager to meet new people and make each patient’s experience positive and welcoming. Outside of work, my passion for caring extends to my family life as well. I cherish time spent with my two amazing sons and enjoy taking my dogs for walks around the neighborhood
Patients often comment on the upbeat atmosphere in our office, and you might even catch me humming or singing a tune—especially when my favorite music is playing.
