I graduated from Stone School of Business in 1980 and went to work in the medical field as a patient care technician and phlebotomist for many years before coming to WDA, which I now consider my second home. I enjoy meeting and working with the public.

I moved to East Haven after purchasing my new home and married my best friend, Steven. I have three grown children, Sarah, Jessica, and Jacob and six beautiful grandchildren. In my spare time, I can usually be found doing some sort of home improvement project, gardening, or enjoying my grandchildren and family.

I am a graduate of Tunxis Community College with an Associates Degree in Dental Hygiene.  I grew up in North Haven and currently still reside there.  In my down time I love spending time with my friends and family, hiking, cooking or baking.  I love the fall season and am an animal lover of all kinds.  I look forward to meeting all patients!

I grew up in Meriden and graduated from Maloney High School.  I received an Associates Degree in Dental Hygiene from Tunxis Community College.  I have over 37 years of experience in Dental Hygiene and I look forward to meeting each and every one of you.

I graduated with an Associate of Dental Hygiene degree from Tunxis Community College in 1981.  I grew up in Wallingford and still live here with my husband, triplet sons and two golden retrievers.  In my free time, I enjoy reading, crafting and cooking with my husband, especially pizza!  I really like talking with my patients and look forward to meeting you!

I’ve been with Wallingford Dental Associates for over 20 years. I am certified in Radiation Health and Safety as well as Infection Control. Getting in the dental field has been the biggest change in my professional life; a change I never regretted in spite of many challenges and changes. I love most the interaction with our patients not just helping to keep their smiles healthy but also to share the moments of our lives – happy, sad, great and not so great, pictures, memories and achievements. I love to see kids grow into young adults and then bring into the office their own children, just like a family. In my free time I love walking, working in my little garden, knitting but most of all I love spending time with my grandchildren Victoria and Jacob.

Emilia was born in Poland and immigrated to the United States. In 2015, she graduated from Tunix Community College and passed all exams for a Certified Dental Assistant. Emilia joined Dr. McPhail’s practice in 2017. She loves working with people and performing the duties of a dental assistant. In her time away from the office, Emilia enjoys gardening and keeps busy with her husband and two young children.

My name is Margaret and I have been working at WDA for the past 14 years. I earned my Dental Assisting Degree from the Dental Career Institute in 2001 and am certified in Radiation Health and Safety as well as Infection Control.
I am originally from Poland immigrating to the United Sates in 1991. My family and I reside in Meriden along with our dog. When not at work, I enjoy outdoor activities, reading, exercising, and traveling to new places with my husband and three children. I am a very sociable, committed and compassionate employee. Others say I have a great sense of humor, which I believe our patients appreciate while interacting with me.

I was born in the United States and at the age of 10 my family and I moved back to my parents' home country of Ecuador.  After completing my education in Ecuador, I decided I would like to come back and explore the United States as an adult.  I am delighted to be able to join WDA as a Dental Assistant.  So far I love the world of Dentistry.  People think I am soft spoken and shy but once you get to know me, you realize I am not.  I am a "night owl" and love to talk long walks during the evening hours.  I also love scary movies and my favorite food is lasagna. I am fluent in Spanish and I  look forward to meeting all of our patients.
