Diane
Registered Dental Hygienist
Diane started working as a Dental Hygienist in 1987 and has worked at DeStefano Dentistry since 2012. Helping people be healthy is what drew her to the dental field. Diane started working at DeStefano Dentistry to decrease travel time between work and home because her kids were young at the time and were very busy with school activities and clubs. Diane continued to work here because she enjoyed learning new procedures and ways to help her patients and because of the strong connections she has formed with patients. These personal connections are as important to her as her patient’s dental health. Diane has 3 adult children that she loves to spend time with. She lives in Victor and enjoys spending time in nature, catching up with friends, and crafting.
