Dr. Jorge Bastidas I am a compassionate and thorough practitioner of general dentistry in Paterson, New Jersey. I speak both English and Spanish fluently and am a member of the American Dental Association, Passaic Country Dental Society, and New Jersey Dental Association. I attend the annual Greater New York Dental Meeting regularly, in addition to completing a minimum of 20 hours of continued education every year to maintain my dental relevancy. My education included attending Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, to earn a masters degree in addition to my dental degree.
My family moved to the U.S. from Colombia, and I learned dentistry from a young age at my mothers dental practice. In my spare time, I enjoy engaging in outdoor activities, such as jogging, biking, and hiking. When I have time to relax, I enjoy reading, playing chess, and going to the movies.
Joseannie Dental Assistant I joined Comfort Dental Care in March of 2016 after completing my education at the Fortis Institute. I am so happy to have found a dental practice that cares deeply for its patients. Naturally warm and caring, I excel in my duties as a dental assistant by making each patient feel at home in our office. I am the middle child of five siblings and have and older sister in the dental field as well. My free time is spent with my family; taking walks in the park or in Hoboken, NJ; or furthering my career to become a dental hygienist.
