My name is Carla and I am the Office Manager for Dr. Marino. I have been with the practice for 35 years. I was blessed with the opportunity Dr. Marino provided for me in starting my career. When I started, I had no dental knowledge, Dr. Marino taught me everything I know today. Since then, I have worked tirelessly to obtain the position of Office Manager, gaining the respect of patients and staff while maintaining the reputation that our practice has been known for since 1983. As the Office Manager, my main goal is patient care. I strive to make sure all of our patients feel comfortable from the time they call the office until their treatment is completed. In 2019 I was the recipient of “The Woman Of Achievement” award for the state of Missouri which was a great honor! In addition, I have two children who I am extremely proud of; Devin and Alexis.
My name is Sara and I joined the awesome team here at Dr. Marino’s in September 2018. I have worked on the business side of dentistry for over 6 years. I love meeting and getting to know our patients and helping them achieve their dream smile!! In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my daughter, Haley and our fur baby Max! I love exploring St. Louis and cheering on our favorite sports team, the St. Louis Blues!!
My name is Ashley. You will find me at the front desk. I am one of the new kids on the block. Although I am new to Dr. Marino’s office, I have been in the dental field for 5 years now. I went to school for dental assisting but migrated to the front desk and I am working as a business assistant. I love greeting the patients both over the phone and in person. I grew up in Alabama so you will hear a southern accent when being greeted by me. I miss home but love the St. Louis area. When I am not working, I enjoy traveling, watching Alabama Football, collecting Coca-Cola memorabilia, and my biggest joy in life is my fur baby, Harlow. I look forward to meeting you soon!
My name is Robin, I have been a dental hygienist for 25 years in the St. Louis area. I have worked both in private practice and public health. One of my greatest rewards is establishing a rapport with the many patients I have as they are the reason I love my job. I am a mother of two, a 19-year-old girl, and a 16-year-old boy. Although they are not needing me as much in their teenage years, I enjoy those special bonding moments with my precious kids. I also have an 11-year-old Peekaboo named Bailey. She, too, is my pride and joy! In my free time, I enjoy taking care of my yard. I plan on continuing to do dental hygiene as long as my body will allow me to do.
