I am originally from Connecticut and have lived in Florida for 26 years. I have been practicing dental hygiene for all those years in the area. I love the relationships I build with my patients and helping them achieve a healthy smile. When not working you can find me on the boat fihsing with husband and two daughters.
I love spending time with my husband and fur baby, a dauschand, Tucker. Together we work outside in the yard and doing projects around the house. I enjoy working here and helping our patients feel comfortable and relaxed through their procedures.
My husband and I moved from the Ukraine in 1998 with our two children and have loved living in Florida ever since. We like to spend the weekends with our kids, who are now grown, enjoying the beach or any outdoor activity.
I grew up in Flagler Beach, Florida. I enjoy fishing, hockey and I love my Wrangler Jeep! I received my Bachelor degree in Business. I also possess an Accounting degree. I have been in the dental field for over five years. I enjoy working for Dan Drake, DDS & Associates.
I was born and raised in Florida. I married my high school sweetheart and have 3 amazing children. I love having the opportunity to get to know our patients and helping to make their experience at this office a pleasant one. I feel blessed to work with such a great and talented team!
I love spending quality time with my daughter and fiance. We enjoy eventful days at the beaches or going to the springs. I graduated from dental assisting school in 2009 and loved being a part of the dental community ever since.
I was born and raised in Daytona Beach and graduated from Spruce Creek High School. I earned my A.S. degree in Dental Hygiene from Daytona State College and graduated from their first hygiene class in 1997. I have been a hygienist for 23 years. I am married and have 3 boys and 3 beautiful grandchildren.In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family,walking, paddleboarding, and traveling.
I'm originally from Louisiana, but have lived in Florida most of my life. I have two wonderful children and the most precious grandbaby. I've been in the dental profession for 17 years and absolutely love it. Dr. Drake and Costello are excellent dentist and make it a pleasure to be a part of this team.

From initial planning to follow up and recovery my dental implant was executed flawlessly by Dr. Drake! I recommend his services completely to any customer/patient who values professionalism and expert care when it comes to their smile.

I have had teeth pulled by Ormond Beach dentist before. I haven't had the best of luck with my experiences. So I was in search of a fantastic place to go to. I found it here. From my 1st phone call to checking out 1st rate professional people all around (not used to that). Jessica was the wonderful caring person who got me ready. Very friendly and personable. Dr. Drake arrived we went over pressure free options. I had questions about price estimates (where I've been burnt before) the woman who does billing was brought back to me and we quickly and easily got my question answered. (So sorry I don't remember your name). Dr. Drake was very careful to ensure I was good and numb. I have to say the least painful needle injections I have ever had. Especially in the roof of my mouth. Dr. Drake took his time, explained as he went, and actually cared about my jaw bone. Not the grip and rip I'm used to. I had a hard tooth location and crazy big roots. Not one time did I feel Dr. Drake was rushing or impatient due to the hard circumstances. Look I'm a normal person who actually had a legit awesome experience at a dentist where we don't like to go as a whole. This is my 3rd local dentist. If you want what I feel is the best around. Simple. Go here. Thank you all so much. See you again.

As I've said before, I am very picky on the Dentist and Doctors I go to. Too many years of experience and yes, I have walked out of some offices because of the way I have been spoke to, etc., etc. and dared the office to send me a bill. Getting to the point, I love, with no doubts, the treatment that Dr Costello's and Dr Drake's office gives me and my husband. Not just the doctors, but the whole staff. Everyone is so friendly, knowledgeable, giving, encouraging, positive and so, so much more. I can't say enough good things about them. So if you are in question whether or not you should make that first appointment, don't question yourself any more.... just pick up the phone an make the appointment - you won't regret it With much Graditude, B.

Drs. Costello and Dr. Drake are the only dentists you ever want to go to! I've been going to them for a long time and they are the best! Their staff is so kind, and so professional. They make you feel comfortable and treat you like they truly care. I'm a big wimp when it comes to going to the dentist, but they immediately are able to put me at ease. If I ever say "I love going to the dentist", it will only be because of Dr Costello and Dr. Drake and their staff!

The most pain free experience I've ever had, and I'm very touchy. The doctors and staff are very friendly and highly skilled. Never felt the needles, drill or anything. They didn't push me into unwanted procedures and have very fair prices. Highly recommended.
