Our front office personnel are always ready to assist in any way they can.

Her knowledge and ability to explain insurance problems can make everyone's life easier. Scheduling Coordinator Lynn McCrosson has not missed a beat since joining our team and former full-timers Denise Gutierrez and Chris Terranova have cut back on their hours since motherhood has beckoned, yet remain a part of our family and can fill right back in and help our patients as they always have in the past.  Bonnie Brennan is our most recent addition as Hygiene Coordinator.


Assistants
Our assistants Renee Woods and Yvette Rodrigez make you feel welcome from the moment they greet you. Renee has over 20 years experience and a laid back attitude that puts people at ease in the most stressful of times. She is Dr. Eric's main assistant.
