Meet Our Staff

Mary – Clinical Dental Assistant

Hi, my name is Mary and I am one of Dr. Losco’s clinical dental assistants. I have been part of Dr. Losco’s team since 2002. I have been in the health care field for 28 years. I currently have 17 years experience as a dental assistant and 11 years experience as a Physical Therapist Technician. I also have obtained my associate’s degree in business management.

As a dental assistant, I have obtained my X-ray and CPR certification and have attended several continuing education courses, which keeps me up-to-date on the latest care and techniques the dental field has to offer to our patients.

I love to work with our patients by assisting the doctor during procedures, comforting patients during their appointments and answering their questions concerning their care. I enjoy seeing our patients receive the dental care they need and knowing that I am a part of that experience.

Patti – Scheduling Coordinator

Hi, my name is Patti. I handle the scheduling duties for Dr. Losco. I joined Dr. Losco first as a patient, then in 2008 as a dental assistant. I have received my X-Ray certification and continue to enjoy learning more about the dental field. I have had both on-the-job and formal training to help you to schedule your appointments when you need them and keep things running smoothly.

I have 10 years of experience with working with people. My prior position in customer service gave me the opportunity to interact with people on a one-to-one basis, which has carried over to my current position.

I enjoy the fact that every day brings an opportunity to learn something new. The dental field is fast-paced and ever-changing and I take pleasure in assisting our patients in receiving the care that they need.

Shannon – Dental Hygienist

Hello, my name is Shannon and I am one of Dr. Losco’s dental hygienists. I joined Dr. Losco’s team in 2008. I started my career in the dental field in 1999 as a dental assistant, where I was trained on-the-job. I enjoyed helping my patients so much that I decided to continue on with my education. I received my associate’s degree in Biology in 1999 and continued on to receive my degree in dental hygiene in 2003.

I frequently attend continuing education classes to stay abreast with the ever-changing patient care techniques that are offered in the hygiene field. I feel it is important to stay up-to-date and to share my knowledge with my patients in order to maintain a healthy mouth. I am now trained and certified to administer local anesthesia for our patient's comfort.

What I enjoy the most about my job is the one-on-one time with my patients and getting to know them. I love to clean their teeth and educate them about good oral hygiene.

Jessica – Business Manager

My name is Jessica and I am Dr. Losco’s Business Manager. I have been with Dr. Losco since 2007. I started in the dental field as a receptionist in 1998. After only a few months, I was trained on-the-job as a dental assistant, which I continued to do until  I joined Dr. Losco’s team.

During my years as a dental assistant, I was able to learn a great deal about the clinical aspects of the dental field. I have assisted doctors through simple cleanings to complete smile makeovers. I obtained my X-ray certification in 2003, and in 2006, I obtained my certificate in Advanced Functional Aesthetics from LVI. I have also recently obtained my Medical Coding/Billing certification from WCCC in 2009.

What I enjoy the most about my job is the fact that I get to help patients get the care they need. I assist patients in maximizing their dental benefits, set up financial arrangements for their care, and help them schedule their appointments so they can continue towards their goal of a healthy, beautiful smile.

Tammy-Clinical Dental Assistant

Hi, my name is Tammy. I am one of Dr. Losco's clinical assistants at the Blairsville office. I joined the staff in June of 1987 and now have over 20 years of experience in the dental field. I have X-ray certification and am able to fill in at the front desk and perform lab procedures. I'm a life-long Blairsville resident and am very active in the community and school activities. My knowledge of our patients and my caring personality enable me to relate well and make our patients feel at home.

Nikki – Dental Hygienist

Hi, my name is Nikki. I joined Dr. Losco’s staff in 2009 as a dental hygienist following completion of my training and certification. Prior to my dental training, I worked for several years in customer service. I most enjoy the patient interaction and being able to provide gentle dental care for our patients.

In addition to my hygiene duties and patient education, I also perform Zoom whitening for our patients. It is very rewarding to be able to brighten our patient’s smiles while caring for their dental health.
