Abdoney Staff

Ginger

Front Desk Coordinator

I have been a part of this team since 2008. I love my job because of the friendships and relationships I've created with our co-workers, patients, and their parents. Dr. Matt and our staff have created a caring and relaxed atmosphere for us to enjoy and share with our patients.

In my free time I enjoy traveling and weekend getaways to Disney with my husband and our two daughters. I love spending time with extended family, planning our vactions, baking and participating in church functions!

Front Desk Coordinator/Dental Assistant

They say time flies when you are having fun, and that couldn't be any truer working here! I joined the Abdoney team in August 2009; throughout the years I've enjoyed the daily interactions between our patients and parents. Working in a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere makes coming to work a breeze! It is very rewarding working for a practice that feels more like family.

What is freetime? My freetime is consumed by my two little girls, Amayah and Khloe' and husband, Noel. When I do get away I enjoy shopping alone! I really love spending time at the beach with my family and visiting theme parks. I also enjoy doing little DIY crafts/projects.
Anna

Dental Assistant

I have worked for Dr. Matt since 2008, and the best part of my job is helping kids get over their fears of the dentist. I see them first come in nervous and scared and then they leave happy and smiling. I also love working for a family-oriented dental practice.

When I'm not working I enjoy watching sitcoms and napping with my three dogs. My family has a heart for missions and our 2 daughters have been to Haiti, Brazil and soon to China. I also really enjoy taking my therapy dog, Sarah, to nursing homes and the special needs class at church. My daughters keep me busy with all their high school activities, and this fall my oldest will go from a Bloomingdale Bull to a USF Bull!
Cintia

Dental Assistant

The best part about working in pediatrics is our patients! It is so much fun talking to them and hearing the funny things they say! I like to make them feel comfortable coming to the dentist by explaining the steps of their visit and showing them how to brush their teeth.

When I'm not at work I like to spend time with my husband, son and puppies. We like to travel and experience new places; including trying new foods from different countries. February 2017 we welcomed our first baby boy, Elijah, and since then we have enjoyed staying closer to home. We enjoy watching movies,the Big Bang Theory, baking, and cheering on our hometown sports teams.

Having a boss like Dr. Matt makes it easy to love and enjoy your job. I have worked here since August 2013 and I love working with kids and seeing different personalities everyday. I try to make our patients experience with our office fun and enjoyable.

Some of my hobbies are drawing and running. I love to try new places to eat! I really enjoy shopping, spending time with my friends and family, going to the beach and traveling. My most recent travels have taken me to Costa Rica, Spain, and France. I loved seeing the Eiffel Tower and spending time in Barcelona.
Ladonna

Dental Assistant

I have worked in pediatrics for Dr. Matt since January 2007 and love it! My little patients always make me laugh because they can say the silliest things; my motto is always expect the unexpected. I enjoy working for a doctor I respect and I am proud to say I work for Abdoney Pediatric Dentistry!

I look forward to the weekends when I can spend time with my family fishing on our boat, going to the beach and hunting. My two teenage daughters keep life fun and exciting for my husband, Chris, and I.
Lyanne

Dental Assistant

I chose to work in pediatrics because I love the innocence of children and the things they say. I started here in May 2013 and ever since then Dr. Matt, the upbeat office environment, and the adorable patients have made it easy to come to work.

I love living in Florida; when I'm not at work I enjoy taking my kids, Fabian and Gianna, out for a fun day in the sun! My favorite way to relax is a day of shopping and watching movies with my family.
Maddie

Dental Assistant

Pediatrics is my passion! As a recent graduate, I always knew I wanted to work with children. I love that I can make little ones realize the dentist is not such a scary place, and seeing them smile always makes my day!

A fun fact about me is that I have a twin sister! I have spent most of my life living in the Tampa area but I was born in Kentucky, go Wildcats! In my free time I love to be on the water boating with friends and family, going to the beach and traveling. One of the most beautiful places I've traveled to is Jamaica, where the water is so blue and the sunsets are amazing.
