Carli

Registered Dental Assistant

"I assist Dr. Roberto in procedures and I love my job... especially the artistic aspect of orthodontics - from the beginning of treatment, through the entire process, and then the beautiful end result. Seeing a patient's big smile after treatment makes it all worth it. I also appreciate working with my team because they have supported and inspired me as a dental assistant since the very beginning.

I am a mom of 2 and a self-taught artist."

"I have worked in the dental field since 1985, right out of high school. I worked in general dentistry until I began my orthodontic career in 2000. My job as an RDA is very rewarding.There are no words to express the happiness that we all share, creating beautiful smiles. It is a blessing to work with wonderful co-workers as one happy team, with the best boss ever!

I have 3 grown children and 5 terrific grandchildren. I love being a MeMee (grandmother.) I am fortunate to have a family and job that I love."

Practice Manager/Financial & Insurance Coordinator

"I joined Dr. Roberto when she opened Rockaway Orthodontics in 2012. I ensure the efficient running of our practice by scheduling appointments, coordinating treatments, billing and processing insurances, handling advertising, and serving as a liaison to other dental professionals in our community. My greatest goal is to make patients and their parents feel excited about treatment and what their end results will be.

I have two beautiful children, ages 17 and 13, and 2 crazy Boston Terriers. When I get the chance, I love to read and travel."

I joined Dr. Roberto in 2004 and we have worked side by side ever since.  I strive to provide our patients with the best care and information they need to ensure successful treatment outcomes.  I enjoy getting to know our patients on a personal level and seeing their beautiful smiles when their braces finally come off."

“I have been in the dental field for 10 years working in pediatrics, and I joined Rockaway Orthodontics in 2019. I love being a part of this practice because it is such a positive environment. You can find me assisting in any capacity needed, from the front office, to taking x-rays, or assisting the doctor chair-side.
