Elissa is the friendly and welcoming presence at our front desk, dedicated to making every patient’s visit smooth and stress-free. She ensures that patients feel cared for from the very first phone call — reaching out in advance, assisting with insurance verification, and coordinating appointments with attention to detail. Though new to dentistry, Elissa brings valuable experience from her background in hotel administration and teaching, along with a strong commitment to patient service and support.
Originally from Florida’s Space Coast, Elissa has also lived in Ecuador and Peru before settling in Washington, D.C., which she now calls home. Outside of the office, she enjoys cooking, writing, and exploring new ideas through thoughtful study. She also loves the outdoors, whether surfing, snorkeling, swimming, sightseeing, or even spelunking.
A person of faith and compassion, Elissa values hospitality, meaningful conversations, and standing up for those in need. She is passionate about learning and brings professionalism, warmth, and purpose to every interaction with our patients and team.
