Kelly enjoys spending time with her daughter (Carlee), their three dogs, (Sammie, Lucy, and Mazy), Mollie the cat, and Gus the goat!

Costina

Registered Dental Hygienist

Costina became an integral part of the Finger Lakes family in 2023, bringing her expertise and passion for dental care to our community. She graduated from Valencia Community College in Orlando, Florida, in 2020 and honed her skills working in the Orlando area. In pursuit of family and new opportunities, Costina and her husband, Brendan, decided to move up north to be closer to their loved ones.
Costina's journey into dental hygiene has a profound origin in her native Romania, where she witnessed firsthand the challenges of treating rather than preventing dental issues. This sparked her dedication to preventative care, aiming to help others avoid the struggles she saw her loved ones endure.

Outside of her professional life, Costina cherishes her time with Brendan and their two adorable cats, Alex and James. An avid outdoors enthusiast, you can often find her exploring and conquering local trails, embracing the beauty of nature. Costina's commitment to both her family and her patients makes her a cherished member of our team, always ready with a warm smile and expert advice.

She attends an average of 15 to 20 hours of CE a year with a focus on orthodontics. Pam’s daughter is one semester away from having her Bachelor’s Degree at Brockport. Her son recently left the Air Force and is working for the Department of Defense in Pensacola, Florida. Pam and her husband enjoy spending time with family. Her hobbies are puzzles of any kind, making jewelry, audio books, and anything to do with vampires and zombies, as well as relaxing at her pool.
