Hi there! I am a hygiene coordinator in our practice, and I am in charge of all phases of coordinating hygiene and treatment planning. I also schedule patient appointments, take radiographs, and assist the hygienists when needed. I have been working here since 2005, and love getting to know our patients and their families. When I am not at work, I love visiting with my grown son, Ryan. I also enjoy traveling, baking, and spending time with family and friends.

As a dental assistant, I get to work side by side with the doctor, delivering the best dental care possible to our clients, while ensuring their comfort. I have been working with Dr. Oyangen since 1998, and I love everything about my job! I always enjoy the people who come to see us for their dental needs, and always treat them like part of my family. Outside the office, I enjoy spending quality time with my teenage daughter, Kennedy.

I am one of Dr. Oyangen’s dental assistants and joined the team in August 2011. I became a dental assistant in 2006 and have worked in various offices in the capital district.
In my time away from the office I enjoy playing with my Chihuahua, Monkey, and spending time with my family at our camp in the Adirondacks.
Dr. Oyangen has been very gracious to teach me all about the State-of-Art equipment and techniques used in our office. The team helps me keep up in this fast paced atmosphere. I enjoy meeting so many new people and look forward to learning so much more.
