Having graduated from Nashua High, she studied Medical Technology at UNH. Like her mother, she chose a career as a dental hygienist, graduating from NHTI-Concord. Patty has worked for 35 years in a variety of practices, including periodontal and orthodontic and has worked at our Amherst, NH location for 24 years and is a pioneer for the oral-systemic connection and overall health.

A lifelong NH resident, Jillian graduated from NHTI as a Registered Dental Hygienist in 2016. She has quickly adapted to practicing at Dovetail and easily builds relationships with her many patients. When she’s not in the office advocating for her patients’ health, you can find her scouring Home Goods for the best deals for her new home and her upcoming wedding or enjoying the great outdoors with her fiancé Chris and their fur baby, Autumn. 

Susan is a native of NH and grew up in Nashua with her large family. In her junior year at Nashua High School, Susan expressed interest in a dental career to her orthodontist. He quickly helped her get a job at a local general practice where she spent her last two years of high school, as a dental assistant. It didn't take long for her to realize that she had found her niche. Susan graduated from NHTI-Concord in 1984 and never turned back. She has been in practice for over 30 years now and still loves her profession. She is passionate about taking care of people of all ages, her main focus is to make people feel comfortable in the dental office.
