Meet the Team

Cheryl

Treatment Coordinator/ Office Manager

I began my career in the dental field over 25 years ago, and in that time I have enjoyed building new relationships and getting to know so many people within the community. I found my passion in orthodontics and started working alongside Dr. Samad in 2020 to implement treatment plans and oversee the daily functions in our office at Greater Buffalo Orthodontics. It’s my goal to create a fun, friendly environment for our patients and for our team to provide outstanding service. When at home, I love spending time with my family. I have 3 children, my dog Hunter, 2 granddogs Blitz/Sadie and my best friend Dave. I also enjoy traveling, the outdoors, camping and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I am truly blessed with my family and have their support always!!

Vanessa

Scheduling Coordinator

I joined Dr. Samad’s office in 2021. You can find me answering the phones, scheduling appointments, keeping the front desk organized and handling other administrative tasks. I love seeing patients’ smiles transform along with their growing confidence. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring new restaurants, listening to music and traveling.

Kelley

Assistant

I attended Frontier High School in Hamburg, NY before moving on to study biological sciences at Canisius College. I have always been intrigued by orthodontics, so after college I expanded my functions by earning my Dental Assisting and Dental Radiology licenses. I enjoy spending time with my family and taking my golden retriever, Sammy, to the dog park! Go Bills!

Amon-Ni

Assistant

I found my passion for the dental field when I attended a dental assistant training program learning the ins and outs of dentistry. I fell in love with orthodontics when I was hired at Greater Buffalo Orthodontics. I have worked at GBO for 4 years with Dr. Samad. I enjoy learning new techniques to better my skills and make the patients at GBO as comfortable as possible. My favorite appointment type is deband day!! I enjoy watching the patients see their new smile for the first time in the mirror.
