Hi my name is Vivilyn. I am an administrative assistant at the most wonderful dental office that I ever had the pleasure of working at. The Doctors and staff have become my second family after moving from Jamaica 13 yrs ago and became a part of this family in 2002. The best decision I ever made for my career. The staff here are highly trained, very informative, professional and extremely caring. I believe that educating some one and helping them to make an informed decision is the best thing that I could do for them. I spend most of my time away from the office working out, playing tennis, partying with family and friends.
