Meet Our Team
Deena has been Dr. O’Connell’s right hand man since August 2012! She has been a full time dental assistant for over 20 years and still loves all the aspects of the job, but mostly the relationships she has built with so many special patients. A native of Massachusetts, she moved to Connecticut in 2010 with her husband and best friend, Dan, and their two cool kids, Pierce and Eily. In 2017 they added a new addition to their family, a rescue dog named Janet.
Linda joined our team in December 2018. First impressions are lasting impressions which is why you will most likely be greeted by Linda when you walk into our office. She studied business at Norwalk Community College and has over 13 years experience as a dental office manager.
Helping to maximize benefits and making sure each patient understands their dental insurance is something Linda takes very seriously. Linda is devoted to honest communication with our valued patients. She patiently explains insurance benefits and treatment plans and answers any questions or concerns.
She loves to travel, the beach, and most importantly spending time with her husband, Alex and her kids, Mason, Scarlett & toy poodle Luna.

Tara joined our team on April 1, 2008 when Jeff purchased Dr. Lund’s practice and has been the ‘Disney store greeter’ since day one!
