Gabriel
Director of Operations
Hello! I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines, where I also completed my education. On a typical day, you'll find me spending quality time with my husband, family, and our adorable puppy.
I have a deep passion for volleyball and am actively involved in supporting the LGBT community. My ability to thrive in any setting and efficiently multitask truly shines in the office. I'm excited to be a part of this team and look forward to creating beautiful smiles together!
Patty

I bring nearly two decades of experience in the dental field to our team, nine of which were spent at Brodsky Orthodontics. This extensive experience allows me to work diligently on behalf of our patients to maximize their insurance benefits. By filing insurance claims for our patients, I contribute to creating healthy smiles for families in our community, and I take great pride in being part of this team effort.
When I'm not in the office, I cherish spending time with my four children. We all share a love for the great outdoors and spend a lot of our time hiking, camping, and playing together. The sound of their laughter is my favorite melody. I look forward to bringing my passion for family and community to our practice and helping create more beautiful smiles!

In my role as the insurance benefits coordinator, I dedicate countless hours liaising with your insurance companies to ensure we have the correct information to maximize your hard-earned benefits.
Outside the office, my children are my world. I keep myself busy cheering them on at their soccer games, but I also have a soft spot for crafting, baking, and traveling. Just spending time with my family and friends is a joy in itself. I look forward to being a part of your orthodontic journey!

I am excited about being one of the leaders of this incredible team for many more years to come. I take immense pride in maintaining a positive attitude, and my daily goal is to provide our patients with the best possible customer service.
From greeting each person with a warm smile to adopting a "can-do" attitude, it's crucial to me that our patients and staff feel supported and valued.

Laura
Orthodontic Assistant (RDA)
Hello! My journey began in Mexico City, where I spent my formative years until I was 12. I then moved to the U.S. to continue my education. My career with Dr. Brodsky started more than 25 years ago as an intern. It's been a journey of growth and learning that I wouldn't trade for anything.
The highlight of being an RDA for me is the moment when my patients see their dazzling new smiles for the first time after their braces come off. The joy on their faces is truly priceless. I am a proud mother to two wonderful daughters, Gwendolyn and Genevieve. On my days off, we love to spend quality time together, often at the movies. I look forward to being a part of your journey towards a dazzling smile!
Janina
Orthodontic Assistant
Hello! My journey began in the vibrant country of Ecuador, but in 1970, I ventured to the United States as an exchange student with a desire to enhance my English skills. My career in the orthodontic field spans nearly four decades, with 15 of those years dedicated to working with Brodsky Orthodontics.
What I love about our practice is the blend of professionalism and fun in our working environment. Our team is not just friendly, but also genuinely caring, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. When I'm not in the office, I cherish the time I spend with my wonderful grandchildren, Nolan and Ava. We're avid sports fans and enjoy cheering for the Patriots and the Celtics - unless they're playing against the Lakers, of course! I look forward to welcoming you to our practice and being a part of your journey towards a beautiful smile!

I find immense joy in my work and appreciate the balance of professionalism and relaxation in our atmosphere.
At home, I share my space with my sister, Laura, who is also part of our orthodontic team, her husband, and my delightful nieces. When I'm not ensuring things are in top shape at the office, I enjoy spending time with friends, catching the latest movies, and exploring my culinary skills. Traveling around the globe with my cousins is another passion of mine. I look forward to being a part of your orthodontic journey!
Desiree
Orthodontic Assistant
Hello! I've been a proud member of the Brodsky Orthodontics family for five years now. As an orthodontic assistant, I live by the Golden Rule: treating our patients the way I would want to be treated. This means delivering care that is respectful, skillful, and filled with compassion.
I'm a people person at heart and I thoroughly enjoy meeting new patients! Patience is one of my virtues, which proves beneficial when working with patients who need a little extra TLC. When I'm not at work, I love to unwind with Netflix alongside my husband and my one year old son. I'm also a big sports fan! I look forward to being a part of your journey towards a new beautiful smile!

Hello! My passion for orthodontics was ignited in the Philippines, where I was raised and pursued my dentistry studies at Manila Central University. In June of 2015, I became a part of the Brodsky Orthodontics family, and it's been a joy helping our patients attain their dream smiles ever since.
Our team is dedicated to providing nothing but the best care and support for our patients. When I'm not contributing to transforming smiles, I find joy in cooking, baking cookies, and cherishing moments with my children and husband. I also love dreaming and planning for an exciting trip to Europe. I look forward to being a part of your journey towards a radiant smile!
Marlene
Orthodontic Assistant
Hello! My professional journey began in the scenic landscapes of Northern California, but love led me southward when I got engaged to my wonderful husband. For 16 years, I've been an orthodontic assistant, and each day, I look forward to coming to work.
Helping patients achieve a stunning new smile never gets old for me, and I'm committed to constantly learning and honing my skills. When I'm not in the office, my time is devoted to my adorable son. I have a musical side too - I played the clarinet for nearly two decades in a Portuguese marching band, and I still enjoy creating music whenever I get the chance. I look forward to being a part of your journey towards a beautiful smile!
Maria
Orthodontic Assistant (RDA)
Hello! My journey in the field of dentistry began at the University of the East College of Dentistry in Manila, Philippines. In November of 2014, I joined the team at Brodsky Orthodontics. My love for dentistry has been a lifelong passion, and there's nothing quite like the joy of seeing my patients' happiness when their braces are removed.
When I'm not in the office, I immerse myself in the world of music, be it through dancing or singing. My husband and I love to explore - both locally and afar. We keep our spirits high and laughter flowing by playing light-hearted pranks on our family and friends. I look forward to being a part of your journey towards a beautiful smile!

Hey there, it's Mario! I'm the newest Orthodontic Assistant at Brodsky Orthodontics. I'm currently attending Cerritos College and I absolutely love diving into my work. The hands-on nature of my job is something I've always been drawn to and I'm quick to pick up new skills. When I'm not helping create beautiful smiles at the office, you can find me at the gym. There's nothing like the thrill of pushing my limits and hitting new personal records, especially with my favorite tunes playing in the background. I'm thrilled to be a part of the Brodsky Orthodontics family!
