Janis
Schedule and Treatment Coordinator
I have been in the dental field for over 20 years and with Dr Ellenberg since 2002. I am responsible for reviewing treatment plans, scheduling appointments and answering any questions related to financing and insurance. I have had the opportunity to work in all aspects of the dental field but my true joy comes from hearing our patients comment about the caring treatment they receive in our office! When you’re a patient in our practice we treat you like family. My husband and I have two wonderful children, one adorable grandson and several grand dogs. When I am not at work, you could find me in my garden, enjoying the beaches with my family or reading a good book.
Keri
Business Manager
I was born in Denver, but moved to Clearwater at a young age, so I consider myself a native. I always wanted to be in the health field so starting as a dental assistant for Dr Ellenberg over 12 years ago was a great opportunity. I took several years off to start a family, but with my children all in school, I was excited to resume my career with Dr Ellenberg. I now handle all aspects of insurance, billing and accounting for the office. I’m glad to be back working with such great patients in a fun and passionate practice. Outside of work I spend time with my husband and our 3 children outdoors, whether it’s at the beach, concerts or at a little league game.
Rita
Dental Hygienist
I have been a full time Dental Hygienist in Pinellas County for 35 years, 24 of those years being with Dr Ellenberg. I can still honestly say I enjoy my chosen profession. It is a true joy coming to work every morning knowing I have the best patients and coworkers to spend the day with. I love the sense of accomplishment knowing I have helped my patients achieve the optimal oral health. In order to stay up to date on all aspects of dentistry I attend several continuing education courses each year, which also helps me implement new techniques. My husband Steve and I have been together for over 31 years and enjoy playing golf together. While spending two weeks in Alaska this past summer we had the opportunity to play near the Arctic Circle!! We also enjoy a handful of outdoor activities, supporting our local sports teams, spending time with our families and of course, playing with our 5 year old Himalayan named Kally.
Heather
Dental Hygienist
I was born and raised in Dunedin, Florida and graduated from Palm Beach State College in 2004. I have been a member of Dr. Ellenberg's remarkable team since 2005. I find fulfillment in educating my patients on how to achieve and maintain the finest oral health. On my own time I enjoy kayaking, biking and cheering for the Buccaneers and Rays.
Leah
Dental Assistant
I was born in Buffalo, NY and moved to Clearwater, FL in 2001. I have been working in dentistry since 1998 and worked with Dr Ellenberg for several years when first I moved to Clearwater. I have always been committed to learning new ideas and techniques in dentistry. Rejoining Dr Ellenberg’s team over a year ago has guided me in expanding my dental education. When not at work I enjoy spending time with my family outdoors or my quiet time with a good book.
Amy
Dental Assistant
I have been working as assistant in the dental field since 1993. One of my favorite things about Dr Ellenberg’s practice is the one on one experience I share with our patients. I am proud to be a member of a team that supports Dr Ellenberg’s strive for perfection. Born and raised in St. Petersburg, FL I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends outdoors! I enjoy nothing more than spending time with my two nephews.
