Our Louisa Team

Laura – Practice Manager
Laura joined our team in April 2009. She began her dental career 23 years ago as a dental assistant/lab tech in Long Island, NY. She relocated to Virginia 17 years ago and expanded her skills by learning the business aspect of dentistry. As our office manager, she helps our practice run smoothly and efficiently by making sure our team has everything needed to perform successful treatments. She has a passion for dentistry, and we benefit from her dual talents as well as her love of helping patients meet their goals for a happy and healthy smile. In her downtime, she enjoys music, traveling, and most of all, spending time with her family.

Leo – Dental Hygienist

Our dental hygienist, Leo Ismael, grew up in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he initially started his dental career path. It was his senior year of high school that he realized the dental field was his calling after taking a dental assistant course at CATEC. He then took two years of prerequisites at PVCC before transferring to the VCU School of Dentistry. Leo graduated in 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in dental hygiene. He has worked for John J. Andre, DDS & Associates for over two years. You will run into him at both our Glen Allen and Louisa locations. Leo likes to spend time with family and friends and enjoys traveling when he’s not at work. He is always up for suggestions for his next trip. Do you have any?
