Jeani

Front Desk Coodinator

I grew up in West Islip and studied the Pre-Requisites for Dental Hygiene at Farmingdale Liberal Arts as well as Dental Assisting at Wilson Tech.

One of my favorite parts of this job is the relationships I create with our patients. Usually, I am the first contact they have with the office; they depend on me to address their needs, whether it's regarding payment plan, treatment plan, insurance questions, a toothache, or just plain concern. Being in the dental field for over 25 years is very helpful and I enjoy assisting their questions with confidence.

There is nothing more gratifying then turning that apprehensive, “scared-of-dentist” patient into a relaxed and comfortable one. I truly love my job when I have a new patient walk into the office afraid to smile (because they dislike theirs so much) and then watching them come up to the front desk after treatment, so confident and glowing with their new beautiful new smile. I'm so proud to be a part of Northport Family Dental.

In my spare time, I love to garden, go to the beach, and spend time with my two girls. 

Lisa

Dental Hygienist

I am a graduate of SUNY Farmingdale and have been with Dr. Rubin for 26 years. I happen to be in a position I really enjoy and have had the pleasure of working with skilled, dedicated, caring doctors and fellow staff. I enjoy the relationships that I’ve formed with our patients and their families over the many years we have been seeing each other. I expect to continue enjoying my job and caring for my patients for many years to come.

I grew up in West Islip and am an outdoors person – any activity outside is enjoyable. My husband and I own a boat and in the summer, 90% of my spare time is spent working on and enjoying the boat. 

Christine

Dental Hygienist

 Christine grew up, and lives in West Islip. She received her hygiene degree from Farmingdale State College. During her studies she was a member of the Student American Dental Hygienists Association board and received an award for her outstanding contributions from the Long Island Dental Hygienists Association. 
     When not working, Christine enjoys being with her husband and two sons, and attending her sons' sporting events. In her free time she likes to cook, spend time with her family and in the spring and summer she enjoys the beach and gardening. 
 

Shannon

Shannon earned her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology/ Exercise Science from SUNY Cortland. She then continued her education at SUNY Farmingdale earning her Dental Hygiene degree. Shannon is originally from Westchester, NY and moved to the island in 2016. Shannon and her husband recently bought a home in Smithtown, NY and has enjoyed exploring the north shore by visiting restaurants and parks. They are excited to welcome their very first furchild  (a mini golden doodle)  in January 2019!

 “I am excited to be a team member of Northport Family Dental. I believe it's important to educate my patients about their oral health so our patients can lead healthier lives.”

We’re proud to Welcome her into our Family.  Our Patients have welcomed her as a supporting caregiver into their lives.

Effie

Dental Assistant

I have worked as a Dental Assistant for 18 years and have been with Northport Dental for six of those years. What I love about my job is watching our patients walk out of our office with a smile on their face, whether it's because they came in with fear or because they just don't like their smile. As a team, Dr. Rubin, Dr. Quinn and I engage them in conversation, helping them to put their mind at ease.

Dr. Rubin's and Dr. Quinn’s attention to detail results in great work. People walk out smiling, because the quality of the work makes them happy and loving their smile. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so working with doctors who won't accept anything less than perfect is my biggest satisfaction. And when our patients are happy, I'm happy.

I grew up in Melville and enjoy time with my two children when I'm not working. I also have a passion for good food, and on weekends, you can find me in a restaurant, enjoying a good meal.
