Jonathan is one of the newest additions to the Elite Dental staff.

When not working at Elite Dental, he can be found on an ambulance, where he is an EMT. “Working in a dental office has really broadened my horizons”, says Jonathan. Jonathan enjoys singing classic rock songs while assisting, and can often be found using dental instruments as drumsticks.

Richard LaFergola
Rich has been working at Elite Dental for the past 5 years. Recently graduated from Penn State, Rich earned his degree in Finance. He has incorporated his business background and his extensive dental knowledge and is now an Alumnus of Elite Dental of Staten Island. He has accepted a position as a Cerec Specialist for Patterson Dental, in Baltimore, Marlyland. He is by far the youngest member of Patterson Dental with this title, partly due to the training he had at Elite Dental. Rich has been extremely versatile with his skill sets over the past few years, performing the tasks of a clinical assistant, treatment coordinator, and full-time comedian. “I have made many sacrifices with patients watching “The View,”"Dr. Phil,” and “Oprah.” He strives to make a patients visit that much better.
