Ashley Benjamin – Certified Dental Assistant

She/Her

Originally from Georgia, Ashley moved to Boston to support a family member and see what city life has to offer. Throughout the years of odd jobs in retail and working as a server, she always felt the desire to have more under her profession belt. Knowing that she always achieves anything she puts her mind to, 1 year ago she arrived at Lincoln Tech to learn how to be a Certified Dental Assistant and proved that no matter her grades in High School, she excelled in the program and shocked even herself with how much she can achieve.

Ashley is known for her smile that lights up a room, her bubbly personality and her ability to make someone’s day.   As her aunt Chandra always said – her personality will get her far, and it truly has.

“I’m more than grateful and honored to be working for Dr. Greenberg, this is the next step to succeed and thrive and he has opened that door, and I’m so happy.”

He/Him

As the dental insurance specialist at our practice, Jesse Buhia uses his unique abilities of observation, and cool, calm and collected manner to always look for ways to make himself grow and improve. He is on a mission to always continue learning and growing one day at a time.

“I really like working with Dr. Greenberg. Just with the fact that he is nothing short of amazing when it comes to organizing his dental practice. Working under him is what most employees would hope to be working for, someone who is very approachable and accommodating. And this trait of his doesn’t just end with his staff, it also extends to the way he treats his patients. Honestly, I think I could really learn a lot from him, which makes me feel excited every time our day starts. There are challenges, but we face it as a team with Dr. Greenberg at the lead.“

Born and raised in the beautiful islands of the Philippines, Jesse spends most of his days off cooking (especially when his mom, the critic, is around) and playing shooting video games. He even once thought of going pro with one of the games that he plays!

Melissa Perry – Registered Dental Hygienist

She/Her

Melissa serves us as our rockstar Dental Hygienist. Originally from Portsmouth, Rhode Island, Melissa used to work as a waitress while attending college and decided to pursue dental hygiene after feeling inspired by her grandmother who was a dental hygienist in the area she grew up in.

While attending Community College of Rhode Island, she enjoyed very challenging courses and became a tutor after finishing them. Through teaching and getting to talk to a large variety of people, this only affirmed that dental hygiene was the right profession for her.

When not focusing on oral hygiene, Melissa’s interests include: exploring Cambridge, tennis, running and spending time with her labradoodle Lilly.
