Meet The Staff
About Michele (Office Manager)
I am thrilled to join the Modern Dentistry Team. With over 21 years in the dental industry, I am committed to building personal relationships with our team and our patients. It is very important to me to help patients with treatment concerns while navigating the ever-changing world of insurance! Calming patient fears, answering questions, helping patients make treatment possible in a soothing environment is extremely rewarding to me. I have lived in East Setauket for 26 years. I enjoy running, pickleball, and traveling. In the summer, our family loves to spend time at Pirates Cove on a jet ski, stand up paddle or speed boat with our 110-pound black lab named Dude. He’s the mayor of Pirates Cove!
About Karen (Lead Dental Assistant)
I have been working at Modern Dentistry for many years. I truly enjoy working with Dr. Carrion. She is a pleasure to work with and we make a great team!
I have a son, Joseph. He is a Marine Mechanic and simply the light of my life. I am a VERY proud mom!! He has grown to be a wonderful, handsome man (I’m just a little biased!) and he is recently married to my wonderful daughter in law Katie.
Some of my hobbies are cycling, swimming, four-wheeling, boating and weight training. I also have an extreme love for animals and a passion for rescuing animals. I am very fortunate to have a wonderful family and amazing friends. I look forward to meeting you 🙂
About Enay (Dental Assistant)
Hi! My name is Enay and I am a Dental Assistant at MDLI. I have been an assistant for the past 2 years and have experience with all aspects of Dentistry from Pediatrics, General Dentistry, Endodontics, and Prosthodontics.
I love working with the amazing team here – it is a great, fun spirited office, who love helping their patients. I enjoy getting to know the patients and making them feel relaxed and happy.
This office takes a lot of precautions against COVID and are very clean in general – that makes me feel very comfortable for the team and our patients too! I can’t wait to meet you and help you take care of your smile 🙂
About Ashley (Front Desk)
Hi! I’m Ash! I have three rescue dogs and am getting married in the summer. When I am not working at the dental office, I enjoy working out, spending time with my fiancé and our pups. I am also a part time student at Empire State College pursuing a bachelor’s degree in social science. I took a small hiatus from the dental field, but I am back! I look forward to seeing you and greeting you when you come into the office!
About Denise (Front Desk)
Denise joined the Modern Dentistry Team in September 2023. Denise is new to the dental field and would love to transition to treating patients in the future. Prior to this, she managed several Suffolk County School District lunch programs and gained most of her experience during her tenure there. She is dedicated to giving superior service and will do what she can to make the patient’s experience a positive and fulfilling one. Fun Fact: Denise is an avid Peloton user and is a proud member of their “century club”. She loves spending time with her husband, two sons, family, friends and fur baby.
About Rachel (Billing Coordinator)
Hello I am Rachel, the Treatment Coordinator at Modern Dentistry of Long Island. It has been an absolute pleasure to work on Dr. Carrion’s team and I am lucky to have such amazing people surrounding me on a daily basis. I find it very exciting being able to aid a patient in restoring their smiles and maintaining dental health.
You may notice that you won’t see me quite as often in the office, it is because I am VERY busy at home with my 2 daughters Cecelia and Isla, our adorable son, Colin and we have another beautiful addition to our family on the way in May 2024. We are taking this extra time to enjoy all the moments we can together! I love to cook and bake, and it’s always appreciated when I bring the treats we make into the office for sampling.
I have been part of the Modern Dentistry Team for almost 10 years, and I look forward to many more! Hope to see you soon!
