Michelle Farino
Registered Dental Hygienist
How did you get started in the dentistry field?
I had a lot of dental needs as a child and spent a lot of time going to the dentist and orthodontist. I always found it interesting. I became a dental assistant first and then a fabulous hygienist.
What do you like best about your job at Madison Smile Solutions?
I like working with all the different ages that we see. It’s great to see patients repeatedly as it feels like times with friends. I like getting to know everyone in their families.
What do you think prospective clients should know about Madison Smile Solutions?
We are awesome! We are very patient oriented and truly want to do what is best for the patient.
What do you do when you’re not helping to make smiles brighter?
I like to hang out with my dog, Mable. She’s a boxer/australian sheperd mix. We just built a new house and I really enjoy decorating and house projects. I love being outdoors and boating.

RDH & Operations Manager
How long have you worked in the dental field?
I have 20 years’ experience as a Registered Dental Hygienist and 4 years’ experience as a dental assistant.
What’s traits should a good hygienist have?
My years of experience have taught me that listening is probably the most important skill. Good hygienists find out what their patients want then work with them to find the best solution and treatment plan.
Why did you choose Madison Smile Solutions?
Mostly because I think Dr. Kaveh is an exceptional dentist. He has the most ethical practice I’m aware of. He has great confidence in his ability to take care of his patients and brings a sense of calm and confidence into a room that you can feel. He’s my dentist and my family’s dentist and that says a lot because hygienists are the pickiest dental patients out there.
What’s your favorite way to spend your free time?
I spent every minute of free time I have with my family, usually doing something outdoors: swimming, skiing, hiking, biking or camping.
What words of advice do you have for new clients?
Talk to us, we’ll listen.
What’s the biggest difference between Madison Smile Solutions and other dentists?
Whenever we make a decision about the practice first thing we ask is “what’s best for the patient?”
