I have enjoyed working with Dr. Andolino and the Office Team over the last several years! My husband has just accepted a new position in Seattle, WA and I will be moving this month. Thank you to all our patients, I will miss seeing you each month!

I am very excited on Kathy's promotion to Office Manager. Her kindness and past business experience will continue to bring Dr. Andolino's patients the care they deserve.

Kathy Barnes - Receptionist Kathy Barnes - Office Manager

I am from Birmingham, Alabama and graduated from Auburn University (War Eagle!) in Consumer Affairs and Business Administration. After spending the past few years in Virginia, I moved to Manhattan in July of 2009. I have two adopted dogs, an incredibly lazy hound and a sweet dachshund mix. I love living in New York and cannot wait to see the future adventures it will bring.

Stepanie Wessel, Schedule Coordinator

I am from White Plains, NY. I graduated from the University of Vermont with a B. A. in English. I moved to Manhattan shortly after graduating, and have been enjoying it ever since. My favorite things to do are walking in Central Park, seeing shows and trying new restaurants throughout the city. I look forward to serving all of Dr. Andolino's patients.

Abdullah Arsala - Orthodontic Assistant

As a New York City transplant ( by way of the Washington, DC – metro area), I am eager and excited about my work here with Dr. Andolino. After six years in the dental and orthodontic fields, I have gained both a solid foundation for my professional ascent and a renewed sense of pursuit. As an active member in the ever-changing field of orthodontics I look forward to advancements and progressions that will foster my interests while cultivating your best smile.

A resident of the lower East Side and proud parent to three cats, I find Dr. Andolino's office to be an unlikely Midtown solace in a city charged with chaos.

Melissa Jaglall - Orthodontic Assistant

After exploring various types of careers, I became an orthodontic assistant. I feel my career is exciting and challenging because every day is a learning experience. After ten years of working as an orthodontic assistant I've seen many new technologies in orthodontics. I am continuously taking courses and attending seminars to maintain my orthodontic skills. The greatest part of my job is seeing the satisfaction on each patient's face when their treatment is completed- that's when I know that I've helped someone feel better about themselves.

Besides being an orthodontic assistant, I love outdoor activities, especially during the summer. My activities include fishing, hiking, white water rafting, paintball, biking and just relaxing on the beach. I also love camping with my family.

Sunny G Kej - Orthodontic Assistant

Similar to many others in New York I am a transplant too. Hailing orginally from North Carolina, moving to India and then back Stateside has been quite an adventure. Been here for 6 years and enjoy everthing about NYC. After 6 years of orthodontic experience following dental school, I am very eager and excited to be working here with Dr. Andolino. Looking forward to seeing many happy smiles.

Gabrielle Rivas - Laboratory Assistant

My name is Gabrielle Rivas, better known as Gabby. I am a 21 year old college student studying to become a child and adolescent psychologist. I have been working part-time in Dr. Andolino's office as a laboratory assistant for 3 1/2 years. Working at Dr. Andolino's office has taught me a lot of new things. I enjoy working in the lab and also interacting with patients. The experience I have gained working in an orthodontic practice will be very helpful to me in the future.
