Jenny
Office Manager/Dental Hygienist
I have been working as a registered dental hygienist for AFO for over 20 years. I am married and live on Long Island with my wonderful husband and my three beautiful kids. When I’m not helping to create beautiful smiles at AFO I enjoy vacationing, shopping and watching my kids play sports.
Johanna
Dental Assistant
Johanna has been working with AFO for over 10 years. She enjoys coming into work and being able to serve our patients and address all of their needs. Seeing them walk out satisfied with our service really makes her day! Her days usually start with a nice BIG cup of coffee :). This is her fuel to jump start her day and help her get through any obstacle that’s put in my way.
Priscilla
Dental Hygienist
Priscilla has been in the dental field for over 10 years. What she loves about working at AFO the most is the diversity of our patients, and watching them evolve from their first visit. She enjoys going to sporting events, but unfortunately for her, she's the only yankee fan on staff!
Leticia
Sterilization
One of the reasons why Leticia loves working at AFO is that it feels like home. The doctors and team are awesome! What she enjoys the most is helping others. And in this field, she has the ability to bring that alive. On her days off, she loves listening to music.
Odalys
Treatment Coordinator
In the short amount of time I've been working at Astoria Family Orthodontics, my interest in the dental field has grown significantly. When I'm not working, I'm taking selfies, doing my makeup or shopping. I love to make jokes and spread good vibes.
Yami
Insurance Coordinator
I have been working at Astoria Family Orthodontics for about 2 years now, and the girls have become like a second family to me. In my free time, I enjoy going to the movies, reading and traveling. I love learning about different cultures and traveling gives me the chance to do that.
