My name is Diane, I have been a Registered Dental Hygienist for over 30 years and have practiced in both private and public health settings, as well as teaching Clinical Dental Hygiene at the University of Bridgeport before joining Riverview Dental! In 2020, my husband and I relocated to eastern CT from all points west of the river and we love everything about it here!

Hello! My name is Codie and I am the insurance coordinator here at Riverview Dental. I have worked in the dental field for over 7 years originally starting in oral surgery and endodontics. I am more than happy to help you navigate your insurance so we can maximize your benefits and get you the best oral care and hygiene possible! When I’m not working I enjoy going hiking with my three dogs Bugsley, Freddie and Myeenah, going on adventures with friends and spending time with my family.
