Meet the Team

Colleen

Certified Dental Assistant

I stay busy each day by assisting our hygienists and doctors with whatever they need. I often take X-rays, handle charting, and assist our practice in whatever way is needed. I love interacting with and catching up with our patients; they are all so interesting!  In my spare time, I enjoy relaxing with my husband and daughter on our boat, love taking trips to the islands, and also spending time in the gym. I consider myself a true foodie!

Montie

Expanded Function Dental Assistant

I assist our doctors with whatever they ask of me while maintaining all office procedures. I joined the dental field in 1987 and have been with this practice since 1990. I absolutely love helping people, and this job is such a rewarding way to go about doing that! My goal is to give our patients nothing but the best each and every day.

I love my family, and I have been married for over 25 years. We have three children. Our family enjoys the outdoors and wide open spaces. We are active in sports, and we love spending downtime by our pool or the lake.

Erin

I've had the pleasure of being a dental hygienist since 2005. In 2007, I joined the Stefano Dental team where I provide gentle and thorough cleanings. What I love about this office is our passion to give each and every patient an incredible experinece. I take pride in helping our dental family get quality preventative care. Along with building new relationships with great people!

My husband and I have been married since 2006. Jon and I are proud parents of two beautiful girls. They keep us on our toes with sports, outdoor activities, and 4H. I also enjoy cooking for my family and OSU Football! Go Bucks!!!

Cyndi

Patient Concierge

I help out at the front desk by welcoming and checking in patients, answering phones, filing, and handling patient correspondence. I joined the dental field in 1977 and have loved being with this practice since 1995. Patient interaction and working with such a great group of people are my favorite parts of my job.

At home, I am married to an incredible man. We have a few outside kitties, too. I enjoy cooking, sewing, bicycling, and motorcycle travel. My husband and I are avid National Drag Racing fans!

Janet

Billing Manager

As our billing manager I go above and beyond to make sure our patients can comfortably afford their treatments and care. I also do my best to ensure that our patients receive the most out of their insurance benefits. Seeing the amazing smiles when our patients finish their treatment is my favorite part of my job, and I feel very lucky to work for highly driven and dedicated doctors who demand the best for their patients and staff.

I have relocated to South Florida in 2012 and feel very grateful to continue to work with the practice remotely. Outside of the office I enjoy spending time outdoors, relaxing by the pool, boating, traveling and best of all spoiling our 2 Australian Shepherds, Beanie and Boomer.

Melanie

Insurance Coordinator

As Insurance Coordinator, the tasks I perform are mainly done behind the scenes. I work to ensure our patient's insurance eligibility and dental benefit information are obtained and verified. To achieve the best results, the Front Desk team & I work closely together. In doing this, we strive to help our patients receive and maintain their best oral health care needs. Other responsibilities I have include assisting our Business Administrator, with duties such as assembling accounts payable, insurance explanations and benefit remittances. I also help Dr.Stefano & team to organize and prepare the agendas for our weekly Team meetings.

I've been in the dental field since 1997 and have been part of the Stefano Dental Team since 2006. Outside of work, I really enjoy spending time with my husband, Donny and our seven wonderful children. I also like reading, dancing and dominoes.

So you have a great dental experience, I will continue to assist our dental team, and look forward to helping you in anyway that I can.

Amy

Financial Administrator

My position as Financial Administrator is to help each one of our patients achieve their dental needs and goals. Once, you have seen Dr. Stefano, I will help you find a way to obtain your dental care. I work closely, with the doctors to help provide you with affordable dentistry. I love interacting with our patients and getting to know you better. I enjoy being a part of this incredible team of fun, caring professionals. Our vision is to partner with our patients as a dedicated, highly skilled team.

My free time is spent with husband Tim, children Michelle and Aaron and their families. We have six wonderful grandchildren. We enjoy spending time with family, friends, boating, and traveling.

Deb

Registered Dental Hygienist

As one of the team of hygienists, I help keep our family of patients’ teeth sparkling clean. I like working for Stefano Dental because it gives me a change of pace and a stream of new faces, and keeps me on my toes. I LOVE dentistry for the diversity of people, which means a diversity in teeth: not one mouth is the same. I love challenges, and when patients return for preventive maintenance, their teeth are in better health from what I have done.

I am happily married to my husband Corey since 2007, and we have two beautiful children. I like to garden, run, work out, and be outdoors.

Kathy

I have been in the dental field for 22 years. Twelve years were spent in an orthodontic office. I'm happy to be back at this office working with an incredible team that creates beautiful smiles every day!

I have been married to my husband, Mark for 28 years. We have three children and three grandchildren. We love to travel and spoil our grandchildren.
