Meet Our Staff
Lisa M. Gruber – Practice Manager
Lisa graduated Magna Cum Laude from Russell Sage College in Troy, New York. She then began an eighteen year career in law office management. Lisa brought this professional management experience to Saratoga County Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates in 1997 and has overseen the construction and operation of both practice locations since that time.
Rebecca D. Pecorino – Implant Coordinator
Rebecca was hired in 1997 as a surgical assistant. Today, as implant coordinator, she works exclusively with implant patients educating them about implant treatment, coordinating appointments throughout the entire treatment sequence and answering questions that may arise. The coordinator is a direct liaison between our office and the referring dentist’s office.
Registered Nurses
The surgical staff at Saratoga County Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates (SCOMSA) includes four surgically trained registered nurses (RN's) who assist in the administration of IV sedation and general anesthesia during surgery. Having four full time registered nurses available to monitor our patients during the administration of anesthesia as well as during the recovery phase of treatment is unprecedented in our area. Our goal is to provide each patient with the highest level of surgical care possible in an office environment. Our RN's are not only BLS (Basic Life Support) certified but they hold the distinction of having received ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) certification as well.
Surgical Staff
To facilitate the best possible patient care, we also have four experienced oral and maxillofacial surgical assistants on our staff. All surgical staff members are BLS (Basic Life Support – CPR) certified. Our surgical support staff represents over 125 years of clinical experience to better serve our patients.
Administrative Staff
The administrative staff at Saratoga County Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates includes up-to-date and informed front desk personnel who facilitate the scheduling, confirmation and coordination of patient appointments. In addition, we also have a billing specialist on staff familiar with many insurance plans, claim submissions and reimbursement schedules. All of our administrative staff members are BLS (Basic Life Support – CPR) certified.
