Joann Fonseca

Joann drives to Lexington from her home every working day.
   “It’s a long ride, yes, but it’s worth it.”
   Why?
   “Because this place doesn’t feel like work,” she says. “The kids are fun and the work is fun.”
   Away from the office, Joann is busy with a family life that includes her husband Joseph, daughter Kayla, twin boys Leo and Dominik, and cat Sadie.
   She loves exercising in the gym and is learning to knit under the guidance of Nancy Avallone, a hygienist in the office.
   Like me, she’s left-handed,” Joann explains.
   The funniest thing a young patient ever said to her: “I was whistling and this little girl said: ‘Okay, enough! You’re giving me a headache.”
   If Joann were a color, she claims she’d be green.
   If she could say one thing to parents it would be: “Candy only once a week.”
   And if she had advice for her young patients it would be: “Don’t be afraid of what you don’t know. Just sit and listen and everything’ll be better.”
   And what does Joann think about when she’s brushing her teeth? “Gosh! I brush my teeth so often, I don’t know!”
