Patricia – Registered Dental Hygienist

Patricia is our full-time dental hygienist who has been working in periodontics for almost 30 years. She has been with Dr. Strauss since 1997, and has a loyal following of patients. She graduated from Forsyth School of Dental Hygiene in 1987 with an Associate of Science degree from Northeastern University, and she continues to learn and grow by attending yearly lectures at conferences and taking continuing education credit courses. In fact, she is licensed to administer local anesthesia! Patricia is very thorough, knowledgeable, and takes excellent care of her patients. She lives in Roslindale with her beautiful daughter and wonderful husband, and when not elbow deep in plaque, she enjoys spending time with her family, reading, and staying actively involved in her church.

“Aside from knowing my patients’ oral health, I like to know my patients on a personal level. It makes me a better person, better hygienist, and makes for a better experience for my patients.”
