Our Team
Since 1976, the Spodak Dental Group has evolved to become South Florida’s premier, comprehensive dental facility. Together we comprise a world-class association of dental professionals poised to provide full-service dental care second-to-none in both scope and skill. We are pioneering an unprecedented team approach to dentistry by assembling the finest dental and medical professionals, from all disciplines of the field (including master ceramists in one of the nation’s only on-site dental labs), under one roof.
Meet Our Clinical Team:
Susie Turner
Susie Turner, a Certified Dental Assistant, has been in dentistry since she was just 17 years old. She's had the opportunity to work with some of the most highly skilled and regarded dental professionals in the field. Now in her 30th year she is enjoying her work more than ever. “I'm excited to be part of an advancing profession that is changing and improving the lives of people everyday.” As our Clinical Team Manager, Susie is proud to be able to teach and share her knowledge with future assistants, helping them to achieve the same level of proficiency she now enjoys. She is an active mom and grandmother who practices what she preaches when it comes to health and wellbeing.
Bethany Ingram
Bethany Ingram cultivated years of proficiency in the use of detailed instrumentation as a successful jewelry designer. She was sure her former career would help ease her transition into employing dental instrumentation, as well. After completing her training and certification in Dental Assisting, she brought her steady hand and eye for detail to the Spodak Dental Group, where she has been serving our family of patients ever since. “There's no better feeling than helping a patient who has real fear or pain to get the treatment they need, and to come out with a healthy, beautiful smile.” An avid surfer, Bethany is also a member of the Surfrider Foundation, a national and local non-profit organization dedicated to protecting our beautiful beaches and marine wild-life.
Erika Tacy
Erika, a Certified Dental Assistant, graduated from Dental Assisting School in 2008. Coming from a family of dental professionals, she grew up cultivating a deep appreciation for the dental arts. Driven by a love of life and a love for people, her goal is to create an overall pleasant experience for each of her patients. “I enjoy every moment of what I am a part of at Spodak Dental.” An avid sports fan and outdoors girl, Erika enjoys fishing, boating, and rooting for the Miami Dolphins.
Yvette Batista
Yvette Batista is not only a Registered Dental Hygienist; she is also a trained dentist, having earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from the Universidad Catolica Madre Y Maestra. Initially, it was fear of the dentist that propelled her to seek a career in dentistry. Now, with over 25 years experience, it is still her passion. When not serving her patients, Yvette loves dancing and playing the piano.
Marissa Camadona
Marissa Camadona is a graduate of Tallahassee Community College and Florida Atlantic University. She holds a degree in Dental Hygiene and is a Registered Dental Hygienist. Though she has practiced in New York and New Jersey, this newlywed and outdoors lover returned to Florida to lay down her roots. Here at the Spodak Dental Group she is more than a practitioner – she's an educator, providing her patients with all the skills and tools they'll need to maintain healthy teeth and gums for a lifetime. Ask to view the educational video she's prepared!
Isabel Suarez
Isabel Suarez, originally from Columbia, came to the States while in grade school. She knew from a young age that she wanted to be in a "helping" profession, but also new that she wouldn't be happy behind a desk. She wanted to work with her hands. Her first job out of high school was in a dental office. She knew right away that she'd found the vocation. She went on to receive her training from NOVA University. Today, as a Certified Dental Assistant, she loves her work as a clinician. For her, it's all about hands-on healing with the human touch.
Freddy Batista
Freddy, our master ceramic artist, is both an accomplished artist and a trained dentist. While he enjoyed the clinical aspects of dentistry, he found himself continually drawn back to the mechanics and artistry of ceramic restorations (crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers). Embracing each piece of porcelain like Michelangelo embraced a piece of marble, he finds ultimate satisfaction in whittling, molding, and glazing each fabricated piece until it mimics exactly a natural tooth. Because he is so well acquainted with both the clinical requirements and the mechanical and artistic requirements for crafting a perfect restoration, he is able to produce results that exceed all expectations.
Meet Our Front Desk Team:
Michelle Amiel
Michelle joined our team in 2007. She holds a degree in Expanded Dental Hygiene and has been practicing since 1977. Today she applies her years of clinical experience as our Practice Manager and Treatment Coordinator. Working together with our entire team of doctors, she is our point person to help our patients embrace their best course of treatment. Michelle, who was unhappy with her own smile as a child, has always been intrigued with beautiful smiles. “I hated the pain I associated with my childhood experiences at the dentist and just want to serve others with empathy.” Her interests include all things related to health and wellness, including yoga and organic gardening.
Christi Beyers
Christi, Patient Coordinator and Front Desk Team Leader, has nearly 20 years experience in the Dental Industry. While she is proudly credentialed as a Certified Dental Assistant, she finds working one-on-one with our patients at the front desk is even more rewarding than serving them chair-side. The combination of her education, clinical experience, and dental administration skills make her the ideal patient advocate. “I love helping people and truly love my job,” says Christi. In her free time, she loves to read, sing, and spend time with her beautiful daughter.
Kim Gallo
Kim, a Patient Relations Specialist, joined our team in 2009. It’s her beautiful smile that will greet you when you first enter our reception area. As a graduate of the esteemed Rizzieri Aveda School for Beauty and Wellness, she has enjoyed over 15 years professional experience in the health and beauty industry. It’s this experience that led to her understanding the key role that quality oral care plays in one’s overall well-being. “Beauty,” she acknowledges, “starts from the inside out.” When not serving our family of patients, Kim enjoys volunteer work with Locks of Love and The American Cancer Society’s Look Good, Feel Better Program.
Faith Dillon
Faith, a Patient Relations Specialist, joined our team in 2008. She holds a degree in Social Work. With over 30 years experience, she has devoted much of her life to public service. Faith embraces the vision of comprehensive and holistic health care and knows the importance of caring for the “whole” person. Also a professional writer, Faith supports the goals of our practice by writing educational articles and materials for our patients and the general public. “I love people and I’m so gratified to be in dental profession helping our patients attain healthier, happier lives.”
Kathy Miller
Kathy began serving our family of patients behind the scenes in 2007 as an outside contractor in our Accounting Department. Her positive outlook and drive for excellence quickly made her a natural fit for our team. “It was a wonderful day when Dr. Craig Spodak asked me to join the team full time!” No more “behind the scenes” work for Kathy—our patients love seeing her at the front desk as part of our Patient Relations Team. A former Michigander, Kathy has made Florida her home for nearly 30 years. She is an avid reader, and enjoys Sudoku, cooking, and spending time with her husband and three daughters.
