Meet Our Team

I started working for Hills Park Dental in 2012. I actually started as Dr. Breen’s dental assistant. I had become a registered dental assistant years earlier, but never actually used my skills. While speaking with Dr. Breen, I found the position had opened up and I eagerly jumped at the opportunity. As time went on, I became familiar with the reception area, and now find myself running the office.

When not working, I enjoy the outdoors, so you will find me walking at the beach or in the woods with my husband. I have two grown children that I am very proud of. My daughter, Danielle, is an X-ray technologist earning her degree at Stony Brook University. My son, PJ, also went to Stony Brook for his degree and is in law enforcement.

I graduated from SUNY Farmingdale with a degree in dental hygiene in May 2006. My extensive experience in the dental setting started over 30 years ago in my native country, Ecuador. During my years of experience, I have developed ways to help people of all ages and learned how to put anxious patients at ease. I consider myself a gentle, compassionate and supportive bilingual hygienist who considers the importance of the relationship between oral and overall health in all patients.

In my free time, I love to be with my family enjoying simple activities which become treasurable memories. We all love gardening; our backyard is our favorite place at home.

Danielle is a highly skilled and compassionate Registered Dental Hygienist with a wealth of knowledge in the field of dental care. Committed to promoting oral health, Danielle specializes in preventative care, patient education, and creating personalized hygiene plans tailored to everyone’s needs.
With a gentle and thorough approach, Danielle excels at performing comprehensive dental cleanings, periodontal treatments, and oral health assessments, ensuring that patients feel comfortable and informed about their oral health.

My name is Alisa. I attended Suffolk BOCES dental assisting program which I finished in January 2023. It was during this program that I was lucky enough to complete my internship here at Hills Park Dental. I had such a great time during my internship I jumped at the opportunity to join the team! In my free time, I enjoy traveling, baking, boat rides, going to hockey games (go Islanders!), and spending time with family and friends.

After finishing my studies in the Dominican Republic, which is the country where I was born, I came to the United States. I went to Suffolk Community College in May 2016 where I learned the English language. I continued my studies at Suffolk BOCES in January 2020 with the Certified Dental Assistant program. Once I finished my program, I started looking for jobs. Dr. Breen and the Hills Park Dental team gave me the opportunity to belong to this family. I am grateful to be part of this team. I love being able to help others and keep a positive attitude. I am looking forward to attending college and continuing to grow in the dentistry field as a dental hygienist.

I’m proud of so many things in life but being a mom is my favorite.

In my free time I like to spend time with my family, go shopping and read.
