I have been working as Dr. Dautel's dental assistant for almost 30 years and I have enjoyed all of my time here. My favorite part about working with patients is meeting new people and forming friendships with patients who return year after year. When I am not working, I enjoy vacationing in Florida with my husband and four daughters, and I plan to retire there eventually.

Hi! I'm Chris, from Dr. Dautel's office. Many of our patients have heard my voice on the phone or have met me in person at their visits for nearly a quarter of a century. I'm proud to say that in 2010 I will be celebrating 25 years of working with Dr. Dautel and I have enjoyed every day of it.

I live in Rexford with my husband. When I am not working I spend time with my horse, doing needlework and reading. As a Trustee of the Clifton Park-Halfmoon Public Library since 2000, I was part of the team that brought the beautiful new “green” building to our community. I hope you will take time to visit and enjoy it.

As office manager, I am always available to answer any questions you may have about your appointment, your insurance, or anything else related to your dental care in our office. I'm looking forward to meeting new patients and helping all our patients to get started on the path to not just a new and better smile, but to a “perfectly beautiful smile!”

I first came to this area when my husband was in the Navy for a short time. We returned 8 years later because we liked the area so much and have now been living here for 34 years. My favorite part of working at Dr. Dautel's office is the people I see as patients and the people I work with. I also enjoy seeing and learning about new advances in dentistry to help achieve good oral health. Outside of the office I enjoy working on family history books and pictures, traveling and cross-country skiing. I have two daughters and am excited to be expecting my first grandchild this year. I also like working with women and young mothers through book studies. I have worked with the advisory board for Headstart for years and also with children at my church.

Carol

I have worked for Dr. Dautel as his Dental Assistant since 2004. I started working in the dental field in 1983 as a dental assistant and continued throughout the years in various positions including office manager and appointment coordinator. Now I am back to being a dental assistant which I find is my favorite position. My passion in this profession is getting to meet new patients and tend to their individual needs, as well as enjoying the relationships with established patients that have formed over the years.

I am crazy about my 5 year old Jack Russell Terrier, Belle. She loves to play and go on long walks with me, my husband and my two kids.

I am originally from Cohoes, NY, just a short way from here. I have been a dental hygienist at Dr. Dautel's office for five years and I most enjoy helping my patients achieve oral health. I am a snowboarding and snowmobiling enthusiast and love spending time with my husband and dog, Ivan.

Heidi

I am from a small town in central New York and recently moved to Albany with my husband. I have worked at Dr. Dautel's office since July 2009 and I really enjoy educating patients about the need for oral health and its link to overall health. It is a great joy to me to help my patients move towards better oral health which will lead them to an overall healthier lifestyle. I am always happy to answer any questions you might have about your oral health. When I am not in the office I enjoy running, triathlons, shopping and watching movies.
