Dr. Tim- I graduated from the University of Maryland Dental School in 1985 after attending the University of Maryland at College Park as an undergrad. I opened this office in March 1986 and have been proudly serving the Eldersburg community and surrounding areas since then.
As a member of the American Dental Association, Maryland State Dental Association, and Carroll County Dental Society, I have been very active in promoting dental health to Carroll County residents. I serve as the dental resource for the Carroll County Public Schools, specifically the implementation of the Fluoride Mouthrinse Program. I also coordinated the National Children's Dental Health Month program for the schools for many years.
Currently I keep very busy coaching my kids in baseball, soccer, basketball and rugby, while still trying to play softball and golf myself.
Community service is a very important goal in my life and I serve on The Stacey Davis Breast Cancer Fund committee which supports breast cancer patients in Carroll County, by awarding monetary grants to defray costs associated with their treatment. My professional goal is to help my patients achieve and maintain optimal oral health with preventative procedures, proper home care and nutritional counseling and to do so with a smile and personal touches.
Vicki – Hi! My name is Vicki and I graduated from Medix School in 1993. My first interview after graduation was with Dr. Passarello and I have been working with him ever since. My job title is certified Dental Assistant which consists of a variety of things, from assisting Dr. Passarello, to taking impressions of your teeth, making bleaching trays, and taking x-rays. I’ve enjoyed working with Dr. Passarello and meeting and making friends with the patients over the years. I have two children, a girl 26, Chrissy and a boy Nicholas 23. I also have two stepchildren who have given my husband and I four grandchildren that we enjoy very much. My hobbies when I’m away from the office are reading a good book, going out with longtime friends and working in the yard in the summertime. Our office is committed to making you feel at ease and welcome when you come in. I hope your experience with us will be a happy one.
Sarah – Hi, my name is Sarah. I truly enjoy assisting Dr. Passarello with treating his patients. Our staff strives to do its best in answering questions and assisting patients with their dental needs. We all want to make your experience at our practice as pleasant as possible. I am pleased to be a part of this practice and helping patients have a better life through dentistry. I couldn't have hoped for a better environment to continue my learning process in becoming a Dental Hygienist. When I am not working, I enjoy the outdoors with my two boxers and working on my Jeep.
Deena – I started with Dr. Passarello in August of 2006, and I feel very fortunate to be a part of this great dental team. I enjoy working in an office where we all believe being a team player is what truly makes us successful and our patients feel comfortable in the office they have chosen for their dental needs. I graduated from Medix School in 1988 and have enjoyed doing administrative aspects of the dental field ever since. A lot of my experience is working on a personal level with our patients in all areas of financial planning and utilizing their dental insurance. I like to encourage patients to truly maximize their dental insurance plan and feel comfortable about getting treatment done in our office. When a patient walks in they should feel welcomed and warmly received from the moment they walk in the door. I am here to assist in any way I can! I enjoy going to the gym when I am not working, and spending time with my twins. I live in Eldersburg and enjoy my very short commute to work!
