Office Manager
Monica has been married to our caring pediatric dentist (Dr. Matos) for more than 18 years! Together they have two very active boys whom she loves spending time with.
After working for many years in the corporate field, Monica wanted to have the flexibility to raise her kids while still having a career she enjoyed. Right about that time, her husband opened his dental practice and needed an office manager (what great timing). He asked for her help, and the rest is history!
Monica takes real pride in helping children get the best dental care possible. At the same time, she works hard to make the whole experience convenient and seamless for parents.
When Monica isn’t working, she loves being active with her Boy and Cub Scouts! If stuck indoors, she likes eating cheese and crackers while unwinding with a nice glass of wine (or two!).

Born and raised in Stuart, FL, Erica is married and has two children, a boy and a girl. They all love to spend time together as a family, especially when going on adventures.
As a kid, Erica suffered a severe toothache from eating too much candy (we feel your pain)! Her childhood dental experience was so bad that it inspired her to choose a career in dentistry. Why? She not only wanted every child to achieve a happy and healthy smile (that no candy could spoil), but to have a positive experience too!
Being a dental assistant has allowed Erica to help children learn good oral habits while gaining a positive view of dentistry.
In her free time, Erica is an avid kickball player who loves to hang out and celebrate special evenings with her family.

She has a knack for making children and special needs patients feel comfortable and excited about their dental visits.
In return, kids tell her about their favorite things and make her laugh with the funny comments only kids can make.
Outside of the office, Yoana is known as “mom.” If she has some free time, she enjoys trying all different kinds of cuisines and listening to various genres of music.
