Wife, Mom and Grandmother of 18, Juliette hails from South Africa. As a seaman she has travelled all over the world, until she found her prince and settled down in Queens. She traded her hospitality skills for customer service and so, for the last 15 years, has aspired to make every patient who walks through the door feel comfortable, safe and at home. And with the same friendly manner she deals with every aspect of running the front office including insurance claims.
Outside the office, her and her husband love spending time on their boat fishing and sailing. Juliette loves her church family and runs a Prayer Shawl Ministry, sending knitted garments all across America and South Africa

A great hygienist, with a real ability to connect with people is how the team at Kesner Family Dental describe Sabine. A native of Haiti, Sabine has been an orthodontic CDA since her early teens and realized her joy in helping others through the dental profession, so she furthered her education at NYU and became a dental hygienist in 2012. The most important aspect of her job is educating patients not only on dental care, but maintaining overall health.
Sabine is married with three grown-up children, one of which has followed her mothers footsteps in the dental field. She claims she is not very good, but with the help of her neighbor, she loves growing her own vegetables. Sabine also loves dancing and spends her free time at the gym.
