Office Manager

My name is Valerie and I was given the wonderful opportunity to join Dr. DiMento’s team in 2002 as Dr’s assistant. In 2009 I was offered the position of Office Manager. Each and every day is such a joy to be able to come into the office and work with a such dedicated and caring staff. I also love being able to provide our patients with a dental understanding in a peaceful and relaxing environment. It is so exciting to hear our patients rave about their dental experience. We, as a team, are all committed to providing compassionate care to you and your family, while utilizing the most advanced technology to create new smiles! Our number one priority is to deliver exceptional customer service and a pleasant experience. I am a graduate of BCC and a member of the American Association of Dental Office Managers (AADOM). I enjoy spending time with my husband, of 31 years and my 3 children, son-in-law and most recently my granddaughter. I love being very involved in community activities. In my spare time I love to volunteer; visit with family; travel and be outdoors, especially in the fall!

Dental Hygienist

Hi, my name is Linda and I have had the pleasure of working as a Dental Hygienist with Dr DiMento's team since 2001. I am an Onondaga Community graduate and I benefit from ongoing Dental Seminars which help to enrich my dental knowledge and allows me to contribute to our practice. General dentistry is the perfect choice for me because I enjoy working with patients of all ages and I am especially successful with young children. I am best known for being friendly and compassionate and will make you feel comfortable and welcome in our office. I work hard on motivating and incorporating home care routines so you can experience a healthy mouth which improves your overall health. I am married and have two daughters. In my free time I enjoy my pet Corgi, working out at either Aspen or Gold's Gym, camping and volunteering at the Dome for Westhill's sports booster club.
