She’s also met another wonderful, caring gentleman, and they enjoy traveling, dining, and entertaining together. Some of her other personal hobbies include gambling in Atlantic City and playing games like mahjong and poker.
Tanya, Front Desk
Tanya is originally from East Brunswick. In her time in the dental field, her favorite part of her job has remained the same: interacting with each patient. She attended Rutgers University and is currently working on getting her BSN, RN. In fact, she would love to be a NICU Nurse Practitioner one day! In her free time, she likes spending time with her parents and sister, writing, painting, and keeping saltwater fish tanks.

She has two adult sons and loves spending her free time crocheting, reading, biking, and getting involved in church.

Brittany, Dental Assistant
Brittany was born and raised right here in Edison, New Jersey! She chose to complete her studies at the American Institute of Dental Assisting, and she joined our team in 2022.
