Tania Flores
Patient Coordinator / Dental AssistantHometown: Bronx, NY
Role at Hackensack Dentist: Patient Coordinator & Dental Assistant. I strive to make each visit feel personal, positive, and empowering—guiding our patients through their appointments with ease and confidence.
The first job I ever had: My first role was at Crumbs Bake Shop, where I learned how a simple interaction—and maybe a cupcake—can brighten someone’s day.
Why did you decide on a Dental Field? Dentistry gives me the chance to make a real impact. I’m passionate about helping people feel seen, heard, and healthier—and I take pride in being part of the journey toward better smiles and better health.
Hobbies and Interests: When I’m not assisting in the office, I’m nurturing my curiosity for gardening and dreaming up plans for my own veggie patch. I love spending time with loved ones, and I find peace in the process of growing—both plants and personally.
What is something people don’t know about you? I’m the oldest of three siblings, and while I spend my workday in go-mode, I love to unwind with video games—they let me recharge and stay sharp in the most fun way.
What is my favorite food? Pozole—rich, comforting, and full of tradition. It’s more than just a meal; it’s a taste of my home and heritage.
