1) Q: What are your general duties of as a hygienist and what made you choose this work? A: My general duty is to help my patient get to a better oral state, by raising their awareness of oral hygiene and emphasizing the importance of getting their regular six monthly cleaning as well as any scaling or periodontal maintenance they may need. I chose it because I like working with patients, I'm a people person, and I enjoy making a difference in my patients' mouths.
2) Q: What kinds of program did you have to study and where did you study? A: I graduated from Stony Brook University with a Bachelor's of Health Sciences Degree. I went on to New York University to study dental hygiene, graduating with an Associate's Degree in Dental Hygiene.
3) Q: Can you tell us a little bit about your history here at Preferred Dental Care and how you got to where you are at today? A: My twin sister worked here and referred me after she got married and moved to Texas - until this day, patients still think I'm her! I've been in this field for five years in different offices and I've never joined an office such as this where everyone makes you feel like family.
4) Q: What's one of your best memories of helping a patient? A: There are so many! I like helping patients feel more comfortable, especially the ones that have a fear of dentistry. We develop a connection with each other, and build up trust.

I came across preferred dental through a google search, trying to get my teeth back in order. I unfortunately didn't have dental coverage, and JR did everything he could to work with me. I had lost a tooth because of an unfinished root canal and damaged the exact one parallel to that tooth because of an untreated cavity that eventually broke my tooth . By the time I was treated for all my mishaps, I was missing two prominent teeth in my K9s. As I am a person that uses my image for profit, it drove me nuts!! The dental team made me temporary tooth slippers that I used for special occasions so I could freely smile. Anyway it's been a long 7 months and a major out of pocket cost but my teeth are restored and I have such a great relationship with the staff members. It encourages me to look forward to the dentist! Thank you Dr. PATEL, Dr. Chow and JR AND COMPANY for such a great experience. If I had to do it again it would def be with you all .

(Translated by Google) I write it in Spanish to be able to describe it adequately. They treated me very well with a lot of kindness and understanding. The very loving and fast dentist knew how to explain perfectly what they were going to do to me. Many thanks highly recommended (Original) Lo escribo en espanol para poder describirlo de manera adecuada. Me atendieron muy bien mucha amabilidad y comprension.

Everyone at PDC in Chelsea was just so lovely. I found this place online after needing to urgently see a dentist on a Saturday, when my usual practice is closed. Jelissa in the front was so sweet from the time I came in and Yvonne was so friendly and really accommodating during my time there. Dr. Trivedi took time to make me feel comfortable by answering the countless questions I asked about my dental care. Everything was so seamless and efficient.
