Meet the Staff...

Maria, Practice Administrator

Hi, I'm Maria and I can't believe that I've been here at Westermeier Martin as long as I have (13+ years)! Time sure does fly by fast when you're working with an awesome team doing what you love! As the administrator, I handle the daily responsibilities of running a successful, growing dental practice, allowing the Doctors to concentrate on their patients and their dentistry. My basic philosophy in life is that anything is possible as long as you have the right attitude. I love my family, our cat and our tropical fish, the ocean, foreign movies, good books, good conversation and martinis (shaken, not stirred)! Some day, I want to travel to Africa.

Debbie, Case Manager

Hi, my name is Debbie and I have been a dental assistant for 28 years, the past 13 with Westermeier Martin Dental. If I'm not spending time with my 8 grandchildren (and another on the way!), I love being outdoors biking, running, rollerblading, playing tennis or just relaxing in my hammock. My husband and I love to travel, especially to the tropics in winter. It feels great to feel the sunshine and get away from all that snow, at least for a little while!

Nancy, Patient Services Coordinator

Hi, my name is Nancy and I've been a part of Westermeier Martin Dental for over 8 years. I love my job because we take care of the greatest patients in the entire world! They are like part of our family. Some of my responsibilities are greeting patients, taking care of the Doctors' schedules, billing and official 'recreation coordinator”. Outside of work, I enjoy time with my family, remodeling my Victorian home, traveling, gardening and SHOPPING! My bucket list for 2008/2009: sky diving, lose 10 lbs, and go to Paris. Au revoir!

Michele, Patient Services Coordinator

Hi, I'm Michele. I have been in the dental field for 20 years, which has been both exciting and rewarding for me. My position has several responsibilities which includes answering the phone, greeting patients as they arrive, insurance filing and even sometimes assisting the Doctors if needed. They also call me “Ms Fix-it”, if something is broken in the office, I can usually fix it! I feel truly blessed to be able to work with such a talented and respected team of colleagues. When I'm not working, I love spending time with my wonderful husband of 10 years and our 2 year old son. We have 3 German Shorthaired Pointers that I compete with in Show Confirmation and Hunt tests. We also have a cat named Sofi. I enjoy spending time outdoors gardening, hunting and motorcycling.

Sara, Hygiene Coordinator

I am the newest member of the Westermeier Martin team! If you call about a hygiene appointment, chances are you will talk to me. I have been working in the dental field for 9 years now-doing everything from chairside assisting to front desk, so I am happy to help with whatever is needed. I was born and raised in California and just moved to New York in 2003. I now live in Attica with my husband and 2 step-kids, our 2 dogs (a boxer and a yellow Lab) and our 3 ferrets. We have lots of land to keep us busy, so when I'm not at work, on the lawn mower or running the kids around, I enjoy working in the gardens, walking the dogs, cooking or just putting my feet up with a good book!

Sue S, Dental Hygiene

Hi, I'm Sue. I have been a dental hygienist for over 24 years and have been with Westermeier Martin Dental for 12 of those years. I am very passionate about the care and comfort we provide to our patients. My goal is to help each of our patients keep and maintain their smiles. My husband, 2 children and I love and support our Buffalo sports teams, Shea's Theater and being outdoors. I also own my own business making and selling decorated flower pots called “Pretti Pots”.

Karen, Dental Hygienist

Hi, I'm Karen. I've been a dental hygienist for 31 years and a part of the Westermeier Martin Dental team for 6 great years! I am also Mom to my 15 year old son and Buddy, our Golden Retriever mix, who's about 8 (human years). We are a hockey family: my son plays hockey for a travel team. My husband also plays hockey as well as coaches our son's team. I cheer safely from the bleachers. We are also HUGE Sabres fans! We also have a small summer place at Rushford Lake which we really enjoy. You can find us there on most summer week-ends enjoying the water and relaxing with friends.

Patty, Dental Hygienist

Hi, I'm Patty and have been here at Westermeier Martin Dental for over 6 years. I've been a dental hygienist for over 12 years. I love helping people and seeing great results. For fun, I breed Bernese Mountain dogs and love to go to dog shows. Buttercup and Yogi love to win!

Lorrie, Dental Hygienist and Assistant

Hello, my name is Lorrie. I have been part of the Westermeier Martin Dental family since 2006. I have been in the dental field since 1989. I love the versatility of working with my 15 awesome and talented “sisters” and 3 “brothers”. My husband and I have been together over 30 years and we have two wonderful children. I enjoy gardening, music, exercise, continuing education, going out with friends and sleeping!

Sue T. Dental Assistant

For the last 6 years, I have made Westermeier Martin Dental my home away from home. I usually work with Dr. Scott, helping him create those beautiful smiles he's famous for! When I'm not working, you can find me at home, being a busy Mom with 3 beautiful girls. We love to take walks, hike and ride our bikes together. We really enjoy the great outdoors! Sometimes we'll even take our dog and 2 cats along for the fun. So now that you know a little about me, I look forward to meeting you!

Mary Jo, NYS Licensed Dental Assistant

Hi, I'm Mary Jo, and I've been at Westermeier Martin Dental for over 3 years and love working with such a wonderful group of talented Doctors and Staff. I have been in dentistry for over 28 years (yes, I started when I was 2!) One of my main goals as a dental assistant is to lessen a patient's fear of dentistry and I really love that we provide our patients with a spa-like atmosphere with lots of relaxing comforts like televisions, pillows, blankets and SEDATION! On a personal note, I enjoy yoga, gardening, reading, cooking, laughing, playing with my 3 cats and relaxing with my husband in our new hot tub!

Celine, Certified Dental Assistant

I've been working in the dental field for over 13 years and absolutely love it! I've been with Westermeier Martin Dental for almost 2 years now and it's been a great experience. I work with a wonderful team that uplifts my spirit every day. I grew up in Brooklyn, New York, went to high school in the Dominican Republic and then moved to Ecuador to attend college and dental school. I'm very proud of the fact that I did obtain my degree from Dental School in Ecuador. I am the proud Mom of my beautiful little girl. I enjoy summer, traveling, laughing, singing, listening to music and watching a good movie.

Amanda, Dental Assistant

Hello, my name is Amanda and I was hired as the top graduate of the Western New York Dental Assisting Training program which is run by Drs. Westermeier and Martin. I've been at the practice for almost a year now and I love it! The team is so helpful and knowledgeable. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my dog, a one year old boxer.
