Alexis

Office Manager

My job is to ensure that Westport Pediatric Dentistry runs as efficiently and smoothly as possible. My daily goal is to make sure that our office continues to deliver exceptional patient care and customer service.

In my free time, I love to ride my exercise bike, try different kinds of foods, enjoy the outdoors and spend time with my rescue dog, Jude, who is a Chihuahua / Jack Russell mix.

Alex

Assistant Office Manager

My role as assistant office manager is to help oversee day-to-day practice operations and to provide support to the families that come in to see Dr. Lee. I have always loved the dental world and take joy in doing my part to help ensure the best experience possible for our patients! With a background in dental assisting, treatment coordinating and orthodontics, I like jumping in to aid both our clinical and administrative team members whenever possible.

When not at work, you will find me rock-climbing, spending time with friends/family or playing music in a local orchestra.

Michelle

Senior Insurance and Patient Care Coordinator

My job at Westport Pediatric Dentistry is to provide all aspects of customer service including helping patients understand and utilize their dental insurance benefits and assisting them with the check-out process. My daily goals are to ensure that each and every one of our patients has a great in-office experience and to help out the team wherever I am needed to allow our office to run smoothly.

I've been in the dental field for more than seven years as a dental assistant and an insurance coordinator. Dentistry is my passion and I plan to eventually become a dental hygienist.

When I am not at work, I can be found on a trail with my dog exploring the outdoors. I also love spending time with my friends and family.

Chelsea

Dental Hygienist

It is my goal to help patients understand how diet can affect dental health, feel comfortable in the dental chair, and enjoy the experience so they look forward to coming back. I love seeing so many different people throughout the day and hearing about their lives. But most of all, I love when my patients leave smiling and happy because they enjoyed their visit.

I enjoy taking my dogs Theo and Levi for walks and hikes. I also enjoy playing soccer and going to the gym.

Katie

Dental Hygienist

Dentistry became a very prevalent part of my life at a young age due to my own experiences with significant dental work needing to be done. I will never forget the cleanings where I was told that I had six cavities. It is my passion to comfort children through the dental appointment and help alleviate any dental anxiety they may be feeling. It is also incredibly important to me to educate children and their parents on pediatric dental care and habits to help ensure a lifetime of dental comfort and happiness.

In my free time, I love to spend time with my pug Theo and hike the great outdoors!

Suzanne

Dental Hygienist

I like to make the dental visit fun and engage with each patient as an individual. I look at the whole patient and customize the visit for their specific needs. I work very hard at earning the trust of the patient and recognize that we as a team are forming a relationship with families (not just the patient). Many parents express that they wish they had dental experiences, like the ones their children are having, when they were little. I like to make sure that the patient knows they are safe and I work at their pace. Education is also very important - I inform each patient that the mouth is connected to the whole body, everything starts with their mouth from nutrition to oral hygiene. Happy and confident smiles along with a better understanding of the importance of home care including nutrition and oral hygiene are my goal for a successful visit.

In my free time, I love spending time with my family and friends. Traveling, walking, hiking, going to the movies and the beach are some of my favorite activities.

Jill

Dental Hygienist

Being a dental hygienist in a pediatric office is so fun and incredibly fulfilling as it allows me to make a positive impact on children's oral health and overall well-being. My goal is to educate patients about their oral health to help instill healthy habits that can last a lifetime. I strive to provide the best care possible while creating a comfortable and friendly environment for my patients so they feel at ease during their dental visits. I like to incorporate the "tell-show-do" method to explain everything in a fun and simple way, using positive language to ease their fears to ensure the experience is less intimidating. It’s been a joy connecting with patients and their families! It’s also very rewarding to see them leave with a big smile on their face and eager to return for their next visit.

Beyond my professional life, I enjoy being with my family, traveling to tropical destinations, going to the gym, and discovering new recipes to try out in the kitchen.

Angie

Clinical Coordinator & Lead Dental Assistant

I thoroughly enjoy assisting Dr Lee to ensure that patients are comfortable and enjoy their visit. As a child, I was very nervous to visit the dentist which resulted in having to get extra dental work done as an adult. My goal is to share the wisdom I have learned and to relate to children. Working with children is something to which I have always aspired. I am forever a "kid at heart" and love chatting with kids about video games and sports.

When I am not at work, I enjoy playing with my two dogs, being a new mom, trying different foods and working out.

Maria

Dental Assistant

Working with children and assisting with needed treatment is the perfect environment for me to help guide both parents and children on how to maintain good oral hygiene. Seeing smiles every day after treatment fills my heart knowing our team is accomplishing our goal of helping kids have healthy smiles.

In my free time, I always surround myself with my family and friends. We love exploring different panoramic viewpoints together. My favorite pastime is to color mandalas (a geometric configuration of symbols) while drinking coffee.
