Olena moved to New York City at age 14 from Ukraine. Ironically, she and Dr. Godko grew up in the same small town in Ukraine, but they never met until they both came to the United States. She graduated from Eastern International College as a Registered Dental Hygienist, continuing a family tradition of careers focused on service to others. While Olena and her husband Dr. Godko have dentistry in common, her father is a general surgeon, her mother a teacher, and her sister is also a dental hygienist. Olena holds an x-ray license and is CDCA-certified in local anesthesia. She is also trilingual, fluent in English, Russian, and Ukrainian.
Olena considers herself a professional coach in oral health and takes great pride in her work. Many of her patients arent aware of the extent overall health is affected by oral health, so she provides support, education and guidance toward healthy habits for maintenance of optimal oral health in the long term. Olena feels her greatest reward is seeing patients choose to become healthier and reap the benefits of optimal oral health.
