After a 10 year career in the cosmetic industry, Gina was at a crossroads, her decision was to continue on to account management with Nordstrom 's or venture out into something new. The years of creating beautiful faces through skincare and cosmetics left a big question for Gina. She wondered why her clients were content with just looking great when they had their smiles hidden? She would often discuss this with her clients and the most common reply was 'I can 't afford to fix my teeth' or 'I didn 't know I could easily fix my teeth.'
She decided to apply for an entry level position at a local dental care provider in 1999. She worked her way up gathering dental knowledge and gaining confidence in processing insurance. She worked for 4 years in the position of Front Office Administration. The dental office she worked with accepted all insurances and administered a large senior citizens insurance plan that Gina was especially concerned with. She left the position there with the confidence and concern needed to consider herself a patient advocate of sorts.
She joined Dr. DiMaccio's team in 2004 as his Office Manager. She considers herself very fortunate to have found such a wonderful Doctor to work for. She enjoy's working with the longtime patient's that are now more like friend's. She is especially grateful to have the confidence of referring her own friends and family to Dr. DiMaccio. Her greatest joy comes from the happy patient's that continually thank her and constantly express their appreciation for their Dr. that does not hurt them! She looks forward to continued success at Dr. DiMaccio's office.
