Meet The Staff
Ellie grew up in the greater Baltimore area. She graduated from Wesleyan University with a degree in Women’s Studies. She went on to obtain a master’s degree in Social Work from Simmons College. She took time away from gainful employment to raise three children. When the time came to rejoin the workforce, her husband said, “You should work for my brother.” And so, since 2003, Ellie has been working for Dr. Forman.
She started out knowing nothing about the field of dentistry, much less dental benefits, but has grown with the office team and now enjoys helping patients in all kind of ways, explaining dental benefits, scheduling multi-phase treatment plans and managing payment plans. Ellie’s training as a social worker helps puts patients at ease with issues that can sometimes feel stressful to navigate.
Ellie loves to read and loves to share and receive book recommendations. Just ask her what she’s reading these days.
Elizabeth was born in Haiti. After studying computer programming and accounting, she emigrated to the United States. Following her mother’s nursing footsteps, she fell in love with home health care. She had always been interested in the dental field and decided to attend the Dental Hygiene program at Mount Ida College. After graduation, Liz worked in two practices, one pediatric and one with adults at Dr. Forman’s office.
She has now worked full time in Dr. Forman’s practice for 15 years. She likes the challenge of her daily schedule, meeting new patients and helping them achieve their goal of maintaining a beautiful smile.
Liz is fluent in both Creole and French and is happy to discuss your dental hygiene in either of those languages or English.
Liz lives with her daughter and granddaughter.
