Meet Our Team
Michele Knapp
Practice Manager

Having always enjoyed the opportunity to help people, I’ve been fortunate enough to spend the last 25+ years working in the healthcare industry. After many years in California, I was able to head back to the east coast.
I believe relationships are the essential assets of any highly successful team. They are the building blocks that structure stability. I truly look forward to the kind-hearted, caring, team of professionals I’m privileged to work with on a daily basis. I’d also like to say how thankful I am for the amazing patients I continue to meet. It’s one of my favorite parts about being involved in this field.
When outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my two amazing kids, friends, and family.
Alisa
Administrative Assistant

I have been with SBOMS for 5 years, and have had the pleasure of learning from and working with some of the best surgeons and assistants. Here at SBOMS, we go above and beyond to make sure each patient has a relaxing stress free experience.
Outside of work, I enjoy long walks with my dog Xena, and spending time with my family and friends.

I am happy to plan your appointments, answer any questions and ensure you have a positive experience with our office. It is important to me that each patient enjoys a feeling of ease and comfort in our office.
When I’m not working, I enjoy being with my family which includes my daughters Kelly and Katie and grandson Mason. I look forward to visiting my oldest daughter and grandson in Nevada whenever time allows.

Isis
Surgical Assistant

Before coming to SBOMS, I started in the dental field at the age of 16 working for a general dentist. I left general dentistry and worked for 10 years as the head assistant for an oral surgery office. Most recently, I was the office manager for two years at an oral surgery office.
With all the positions I’ve held in the dental field, I find that being an assistant is where I am most comfortable. The doctors and staff at SBOMS are extremely pleasant to work with and I am happy to have found my new home here.
When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family. I am married to my husband for 20 years and have two children who I treasure. I enjoy dancing, playing competitive sports, and spending time with my extended family. My family and I are big Giant, Jet, and Yankee fans.
Nury
Surgical Assistant

I have been with SBOMS for 10 years, but have worked in Oral Surgery for 35+ years as a dental assistant. I enjoy working with such a great team of doctors and staff. I was born in Colombia and I speak fluent Spanish. Being that I am bilingual, I have built up a nice rapport with our Spanish-speaking patients. I am happy to help them whether it is on the phone, filling out forms or explaining the procedures in detail when needed.
When I am not at work, I enjoy going to the gym and spending time with my three children and my grandson.
Patty
Surgical Assistant

I have been a dental assistant for 37 years. I have worked in general dentistry, periodontal and oral surgery. I was drawn to the dental field as a young child because of an unfortunate circumstance. I know firsthand that dental anxiety is real. I try to comfort patients that are anxious in the dental chair.
I have been married to my husband John for 28 years and we have two children, Samantha and Matthew. I enjoy traveling, cooking, and spending time with my family.
Piper
Surgical Assistant

I am originally from Port St Lucie Florida and I am fairly new to this field. I quickly became passionate about this industry. My goal as a dental assistant is to make patients comfortable and not be scared to come see us. I do my best to assure they have a positive experience. I take personal interest in them so we build trust and establish a relationship. I truly love what I do! Outside of the office, you can find me hanging out with my cats, Fish and Chef, visiting friends and family or cozying up at home with a good book. I also enjoy drawing. I recently started taking college classes to further my education. I enjoy working at SBOMS and I look forward to my time here in the future!
Daniel
Surgical Assistant

As a Surgical Dental Assistant, I bring both skill and heart to every procedure, ensuring patients feel comfortable, informed, and genuinely cared for. My passion for oral surgery and patient care drives me to provide the highest level of support, from assisting in complex procedures to easing patient anxieties with warmth and reassurance. With a charismatic and empathetic approach, I understand that surgery can be intimidating, so I strive to create a sense of trust and calm in every interaction. My dedication goes beyond technical expertise—I take pride in making a difference, ensuring each patient leaves feeling supported and confident in their care.
Katherine
Surgical Assistant

Born and raised in Westchester NY, I began my career in dentistry as an assistant in 2009 and have always taken pride in providing exceptional patient care. With a background in general dentistry and now working as an experienced surgical assistant, I love being able to incorporate all aspects of my dental knowledge to ensure every patient feels informed, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their experience.
Being part of the SBOMS team is truly rewarding—the expertise of our doctors and the camaraderie of our amazing staff make every day a great one. When I’m not at work, you can find me spending time with my rescue dog, Diamond, or enjoying my life as a newlywed who has gotten married in 2025!
Alana
Surgical Assistant

I previously worked at SBOMS as a front desk receptionist in 2022. Since then I’ve branched out & worked in other medical departments but realized my favored interest is in dentistry & returned back to what I call home, SBOMS. Now, I’ve returned and decided to extend my knowledge & experience in becoming a dental assistant. I’m excited to take on this journey being that thus far, it has been the most rewarding position yet, impacting patient’s lives. When not at work, you’ll find me reading, watching movies and spending time with my loved ones & my cats.
