Maurine joined our team in 2016 as the Office Manager with 16 years of experience in the dental field. She brings with her a diverse dental background, working both with front desk and management positions. She is very knowledgeable with dental coding and the complex world of dental insurances.
Shortly before graduating from Porter and Chester Institute, (December 2009) Carly joined the practice on a 6 week externship program. The team took me under their wing and taught me the fundamentals of dental assisting. Not only that, taught me how important it was to treat every patient as one of our family members. Every visit and every patient is treated with the best care to make them feel comfortable with the treatments. I was hired as a full-time employee and I am very gratefulto be here every day.
Kelly is a 2016 graduate of the Porter and Chesters Dental Assisting program. She decided to go into the dental field because she wanted to help patients feel comfortable in what is thought to be an uncomfortable place. Raising her two children brought her to realize how important it is to teach them and allow them to recognize the benefits of dentistry and get them to overcome an unnecessary fear of dental care. Now, with her understanding for a persons fear of dental work, it has allowed her to do exactly that. Kelly is always there for patients with a caring comforting hand to hold.
Lynn is a graduate of Fones School of Dental Hygiene, University of Bridgeport. She has been with the practice for 24 years. Lynn lives in Watertown with her husband Chris, and sons Michael and Billy. The best part of my job is connecting with patients and educating them to achieve optimal oral health
Kim is a 1998 graduate of Tunxis Community College with over 20 years experience as a dental hygienist. She understands how to make patients dental visits comfortable, listens to her patients concerns, and works to ensure patients look forward to their next visit. Kim is proud to be a part of the wonderful team at Middlebury Dental Group.

Omgggg my mother went for an appointment and came home completely dissatisfied and disappointed. The Kelly girl was entirely disgusting to my mother. Almost had her coming home in tears. I felt so bad for her. I really couldn't believe someone could treat another human being such a way. THERES NO REASON WHY SOMEONE CAN RUIN MY MOTHERS EXPERIENCE. My mom has had prior panic attacks before from hospital n dentist due to the PANDEMIC, , YOU WOULD THINK KELLY WOULD HAVE A HEAVIER HEART. My mother is never going back and to be honest I've noticed plenty of complaints about this woman , something needs to change. KELLY SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE

I started with this dentist office when I moved to Middlebury in 2017. Hands down the best dentist I've ever had. Dr. Mandava's bedside manner is second to none; he is incredible. Also, Kelly the dental assistant was so friendly and thorough and made me extremely comfortable. I recommended them to everyone.

My appointment the other day was terrific. I had a lot to get a lot done and was very nervous. I want to say thank you to Dr. Mandava's assistant Kelly. She eased my nervousness with kind words and reassurance. Dr. Mandava was great too, but Kelly made me feel like a friend was at my side and really knew her stuff!

Thorough and educational. It was the most in depth dental visit I've ever had. They also didn't make me feel bad for not having had a check up in many years. They let me know my options and recommendations but didn't push me into anything. I've had bad experiences else where but I already feel comfortable and confident with my care here. Thanks!

I am so grateful that they were able to get me in and such short notice, had lost a filling from previous dentist didn't even last two months. But they were able to fix it and I left with a smile on my face. Dr Mandava and Kelly are amazing and so nice, they have a lot experience and also very informative about fillings etc. I really enjoy the staff they were all so nice to me, as soon as I walked in It made me feel so comfortable, and not nervous at all! I would definitely recommend them! Thank you so much!
