Meet the Team

We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.

We are pleased to welcome you and your family, and we look forward to working with you.

Susan

Office Manager

As our office manager, I make sure our office stays on track each day by overseeing our staff, scheduling patient appointments, filing insurance claims, processing payroll, and patient billing. With this practice since 1992, I have built a great rapport with our patients and their families. Like the rest of our doctors and staff, I am compassionate, organized, and great with the patients.

I am married with two children. In my free time, I love to read, walk, and vacation at the beach.

Zandra

Lead Dental Assistant

I completed the dental assistant program at Valley Medical Institute in 2003 and joined West Side Dental a year later. I take care of a bit of everything, from assisting both dentists in the office to answering phones and checking inventory. The best part of my job is interacting with our patients and helping to give them a positive dental experience.

I currently live in Wolcott and love my peaceful nights at home.

Laurie

Registered Dental Hygienist

I am a registered dental hygienist who has helped to meet our patients’ dental hygiene needs since 1998. I work very hard to make our patients feel comfortable while giving them the best care possible. My favorite part of my job is making our patients feel happy and encouraging them to keep their smiles healthy. I am anesthesia trained and enjoy continuing education. 

When I am not at work, I love spending time with my husband Jaime and my two children, Nicole and Jason. I enjoy reading, cooking, photography, and vacationing at the beach!

Irsida

Registered Dental Hygienist

I graduated from Lincoln College of New England with my Associate of Science degree and joined this practice in 2017. I strive every day to improve the health of my patients, educate them about their oral health, and provide dental care in a comfortable setting. I feel blessed to be a member of West Side Dental team. Everyone here is very professional in their field, caring, and respectful toward each other and toward their patients.

I have been married for 15 years to my husband Ardi and we have three daughters. I love spending time with my family and visiting attractions in Connecticut and other nearby states. I also enjoy volunteering in Mission of Mercy dental clinics and am a member of the American Dental Hygienist Association.
