Our Staff
Denise – Dental Assistant
My name is Denise. I started here in 2004 but I have 20 years of experience. As a matter of fact, Vivian (the receptionist) and I went to dental assisting school together. I am married and have two children. I love the beautiful location of this practice. The patients that I have met are really great and really seem to enjoy coming here! I have learned different techniques from Dr. Schwedfeger and I am impressed with his enthusiasm for dentistry. It is a really laid back, fun atmosphere. The staff is great and have all been here forever. There is little to no turnaround here. I am glad to have found this dental team and I’m proud to be a part of it.
Dorothy – Business Manager
Hi! My name is Dorothy, also known as Dee. I began my career with Dr. Schwedfeger in 1987 with a background in insurance. I had no dental experience whatsoever. Thankfully, Dr. Schwedfeger had enough faith in me to give me the opportunity to learn – and that I have! I am now the Business Manager and I love being part of the “Village Smiles Family”. I also have a wonderful family of my own: a great husband and three grown children.
Vivian – Staff Manager
My name is Vivian. I have been with Dr. Schwedfeger since 1985! I joke that that is half my life, but it is! We are very close-knit and I can’t imagine doing anything else. He is like a brother to me, and the girls here are awesome. Dr. Schwedfeger is very friendly, approachable and a really nice guy. I have thought that since day one. I have become very close to many of the patients and I find humor to put them at ease. I started out as his assistant and after many titles and transitions, I am now the Patient Care Coordinator. Dorothy and I have been here the longest. We sit side-by-side every day at the front desk and are always here to greet you and help with all your dental needs. She is one of my very best friends outside of Village Smiles, too. Call for an appointment today! You will love this place – I guarantee it!

Sue- Dental Assistant
My name is Sue and I am thrilled to be working at Village Smiles. I am now full time! I love assisting the Doctor and have met so many great patients.

Erica-Dental Hygienist
Hi my name is Erica. I am a dental hygiene graduate of MCC, class of 2005. I love what I do and everyone I work with! I have been here since May 2009. I reside in Fairport with my chocolate lab named ‘Tugger’. He is an adorable chocolate lab puppy. I love hanging out with family, going to the gym, dining out, and ice cream. Any time spent with friends is also high on my list of likes! I look forward to meeting you. My patients are awesome. This is the most unique office I have ever worked in-great Dr. and wonderful co-workers! I am happy to be part of it.
