Patricia

Office Manager

I have worked alongside Dr. G in every aspect of developing Village Orthodontics since its beginning in 2003. I work behind the scenes to assure the business aspects of the office are running smoothly. I hold both Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Columbia University and am a Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. I also have a BFA in Musical Theatre and Vocal Performance from Ithaca College. I am the founder and Artistic Director of Herbert Hoover Theatre and hold an Advanced Professional teaching certificate, teaching 6th grade science. I have been working part-time at Herbert Hoover Middle School since 2015.

When not working in the office, teaching at Hoover or performing in local theatre, I enjoy spending time with my family—Dr. G and our three daughters. And of course our 3 dogs, 1 grand-dog and 1 cat.

Sylvia

Financial Coordinator

I am happy to help patients and parents understand their insurance and make sure they’re able to maximize their benefits. Insurance is a foreign language to many people and I’m able to make it understandable. In addition to insurance filings and follow up, I handle contracts, educate patients about orthodontic treatment, and answer their questions about the process. I’ve worked at Village Orthodontics since 2000 and love being part of this remarkable professional family!

Outside of work I enjoy time with my husband, son, and daughter.

Donna

Orthodontic Technician

I like getting to know each patient during treatment and seeing how they change as they see their appearance change. Everyone becomes happier and more confident and they finish with a beautiful smile they love! I assist Dr. Groisser with patient care, offer encouragement and education to patients, and handle lab work, including fabricating retainers. I’ve been part of Village Orthodontics since 2003, bringing with me many years of experience. We have a great team and a doctor who really cares about our patients’ comfort and wellbeing.

When not in the office I enjoy spending time with my husband and family.

Estela

Orthodontic Technician

I enjoy working closely with our patients to achieve their most beautifully healthy smiles. It’s fascinating to watch a person’s transformation and get to know them during treatment. I’m so happy when they finish and love their smile! I provide chairside assistance to Dr. Groisser during different procedures and educate and support our patients at the same time. I’ve been at Village Orthodontics since 2006 and started working in the field in 1998. I love being part of creating amazing smiles!

My time off is spent with my wonderful sons.

Yara

Orthodontic Technician

My name is pronounced like 'Ja-da' but you can also call me Yaya. I have been practicing in orthodontics since 2001. I love knowing that I can assist in providing patients with the best care and attention possible, making their experience a smooth and unforgettable one. 

I have a 20-year-old son and an 11-year-old daughter who is my mini me! I love to go kickboxing or out for an evening of dancing. I enjoy spending time traveling and trying new and delicious foods.
