Sarah

Office Manager

When you call or come in, I will usually be the one to greet you. I ensure the smooth and efficient management of many functions, including the Q Smiles Dental New Patient Experience, treatment scheduling, insurance, and making sure every patient’s expectations are fulfilled. I’m extremely caring, thorough, and very passionate about helping people understand the importance of their oral health. With Dr. Choi as the leader, I’m proud to provide exceptional dental care in an office that upholds the highest ethical standards. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish!

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family and friends. Fitness is my lifelong obsession; it pushes me to be a better version of myself, gives me the confidence to tackle any obstacle, and helps me to de-stress and rejuvenate. My life's mission is to inspire others to improve their lives through focus on health and fitness. I believe there are absolutely no limits but the ones we place on ourselves. You can often find me at Central Park — one of my favorite places to run. As always, I look forward to meeting you at Q Smiles Dental!

Hilma

Dental Hygienist

I joined Dr. Choi’s team in 2021, when I brought almost 30 years of experience in providing gentle hygiene care and education about improving and maintaining oral health. I enjoy working with people and providing a valuable healthcare service while establishing a trusting relationship with patients. At Q Smiles Family Dentistry, we work with the highest professionalism and dedication to provide quality dental care to our patients.

When I’m not in the office, I enjoy traveling and the outdoors, especially hiking.

Rasonia

Dental Hygienist

I started in the dental field in 2000 as a certified dental assistant. Ten years later, I advanced to become a registered dental hygienist when I earned my associate’s degree. Working with our patients is the highlight of my day. It is fulfilling for me when they’re satisfied with their appointment, but even more when an extremely apprehensive patient’s anxiety is reduced dramatically because of their experience with me as their hygienist.

I am a proud parent and grandmother. I love the Dutchess County community and volunteer at local elementary school assisting kids with reading and social skills. I also host educational lectures that provide education on oral health and prevention. I love music, singing, and dancing, but most of all, I love to make people smile!

Karen

Dental Hygienist

I began my career in dental hygiene in 1986, and it has truly been a dream job. I’m so fortunate to say that I love every part, from working with people and getting to know them to meeting their needs and improving their health, as well as being part of a team that works toward the same goal. Everyone here genuinely cares about our patients and works hard to create an atmosphere of competence and trust.

I am mother to a beautiful angel, pet mom, wife, and friend. I founded two book groups and a cooking club. I love volunteer work, nature, photography, music, and learning new things. I look forward to learning about you!

Clarissa

Dental Assistant

I earned my dental assistant certification in 2022 and began working at Q Smiles Dental shortly after. My favorite part of my job is that it gives me the ability to help others by providing excellent dental care. I enjoy talking to our patients and helping them to feel more confident in themselves.

I love animals just as much as I love making people smile! I have a dog named Bleu and he is my heart, along with my boyfriend of nine years. I enjoy watching movies, especially comedy and suspenseful movies. I also love the outdoors, going on adventures, and taking hikes with my babies.

Taylor

Dental Assistant

I joined Q Smiles Dental in 2022, and provide assistance to the dentists to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience to our patients. I love being a part of making a perfect smile! It’s important for me to create a relationship with our patients, which makes it easy to ensure they are happy with their experience with us!

Outside of work, I like to play tennis and golf with my dad, visit the waterfront to relax with friends and family, and take my two beautiful dogs on walks!
