Carol Perez-Alicea (Dental Hygienist)

I started my dental career at age 19. I was hired as a Spanish-speaking dental assistant, where I obtained overall knowledge in general dentistry, periodontics, and oral surgery. In school I’ve achieved the “Clinical Excellence Award” and inducted as a member of Phi Theta Kappa. These achievements have inspired my meticulous work and dedication to give all my patients the best quality care. I have been working with Dr. Tanpiengco since 2001. Working for Dr. Tanpiengco has been both rewarding and a blessing. Since Dr. Tanpiengco enjoys spending quality time with his family, and is a “family man” he has given me the privilege to be able to also spend quality time with my family as well. In my spare time, I enjoy shopping, dancing, and supporting my daughter in softball tournaments.

Jillene Dye (Office Manager)

My name is Jillene. I’m Dr. Tanpiengco's Office Manager. I have been working with Dr. Tanpiengco for 14 years and I enjoy it very much. I love learning about the latest technology in the dental industry. I handle the dental insurance claims, and billing, along with many other responsibilities in the office.  Over the years I've gotten to know some really amazing people, and I am truly lucky.  I do enjoy a good adrenaline rush. Depending on the season you’ll find me outside either rock climbing in the Gunk’s, ice climbing in the Catskills, spending a relaxing Sunday kayaking, and fishing at Round Valley Reservoir.  From time to time I'll do a mud run or two with family and friends I also enjoy sky diving. My weekends are filled with spending quality time with my nieces, family, and friends.
