Dr. Priya graduated in 2018 from the Boston University Henry M Goldman School of Dental Medicine. She has worked in several dental offices in and around the Quincy area.

Darina has been a dental hygienist since May 2021 when she graduated from the Forsyth School of Dental Hygiene. She recently graduated from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences with a Master of Science in Clinical Management degree.
Before joining the ADC she worked at a private dental office for over years as a dental assistant where the last 3 years were also attending Hygiene School. After graduating and becoming licensed, she started working at the same office as a Registered Dental Hygienist until the great opportunity presented itself to become part of the ADC family.
As an immigrant, she finds great pride and joy to be in the position of helping Cape Verdean-Creole and Portuguese speaking patients during their dental appointments to ensure best care and patient education possible along with helping her coworkers understand and overcome our patient's cultural barriers to care.
Natalie has been a dental hygienist since 2011 when she graduated from the Forsyth School of Dental Hygiene.

Natalie lives in Quincy with her husband and 2 kitties. She loves working out in the morning, board games, and cookies!
Julie has practiced dental hygiene since 2002. She has almost 20 years of direct clinical experience and has been on the faculty at Mass College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences University in the Forsyth dental hygiene clinic since 2004. Julie’s favorite aspect of her career is connecting with patients and helping to guide them toward better health. She does this without judgment or lecturing. Her personal philosophy is that the most wasted time of all is time which we have not laughed!
Julie is a regular contributing writer to several dental publications. When not working, Julie enjoys time with her family and Franklin and Henry.
Adell is our fantastic Patient Service Representative. She is generally the first team member patients see on their way into the office and the last to see on their way out! And you won’t forget her due to her infectious smile (yes, it is behind the mask!) and warm personality.
Adell previously worked for Delta Dental of MA, where she served as an account representative for the MPE Fund dedicated team. She brings all of that background and knowledge of the MPE Fund to the Alliance Dental Center.
Adell lives in Boston with her fiance and daughter. She loves to spend time with her family, watching Boston sports teams, Mickey Mouse and Legos!
