Erin is married and has one daughter, a standard poodle, as well as a horse. Her weekends usually involve watching her daughter compete in horse shows, visiting antique shops or flea markets, or reading out in the sun.

Alyssa, Dental Hygienist

Alyssa believes that if a dental visit is fun, it will be a much smoother experience for both the child and our team, so she always goes out of her way to make sure this happens. She grew up in Connecticut and attended Tunxis Community College for her hygiene training.

On the weekends, Alyssa likes to visit museums, go to concerts, take day trips, and try new restaurants.

Corinne currently lives in the Pioneer Valley and is an avid music lover who enjoys listening to and discovering music from other countries. She is also an animal lover and hopes to add another cat to her family soon.
