Danielle Mancuso
Office Manager
Danielle started her professional career as a graduate of Bryant & Stratton with her A.O.S. in business management. She later switched career goals and went on to graduate from Wayne Finger Lakes Boces and became a licensed practical nurse. She worked as a private duty nurse for over 10 years, taking care of her special needs niece. As her niece became more independent and in less need of private care, Danielle made a decision to further her knowledge in another field of care by joining Finger Lakes Dental Care. She displayed excitement and enthusiasm in her role in client relations and a willingness to learn all she can about the world of dentistry. After 9 months Danielle was promoted to Office Manager of the West Henrietta office. Danielle loves spending her free time with her daughter, Adelina and thoroughly enjoys spending time with her family.
