Meet Dr. Jason Vives
Dr. Vives was raised in Staten Island, New York and received his undergraduate degree at Binghamton University. He then moved to New York City to attend Columbia University for his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree. Upon completion, he continued his dental education at Columbia University by earning a specialty certification in orthodontics. In order to ensure that each of his patients receive the highest standard of service, Dr. Vives continuously furthers his education by staying current with all the advanced treatments. He continues his involvement with Columbia University as a part-time preclinical professor at the College of Dental Medicine. Dr. Vives is married to Celest Fernandez-Vives, who he met during dental school. Together, they enjoy traveling, exploring new restaurants, and spending time with family and friends. His favorite hobbies include basketball, golf, tennis, and fantasy football. Dr. Vives appreciates being able to better himself by helping others. He perceives his profession as not only helping patients attain the smile of their dreams, but to keep them smiling throughout treatment.
NINA
Orthodontic Assistant
My love for Orthodontics started in my teens. Working beside my father now a retired Orthodontist. I love seeing patients before and after treatment, and how the changes affect them in a positive manner. My two daughters have beautiful smiles by Dr. Vives. I'm a foodie that enjoys time with my husband, and friends. Taking my sweet Rottweiler "Gus" for walks keeps me in shape
KIM
Orthodontic Assistant
Whether working with a young child feeling nervous about their first Orthodontic treatment or giving instructions, I can make patients feel ready, willing and able. Outside of work, I enjoy watching my three children playing sports, taking day trips, going to concerts and going away with my husband.
EMILY
Lab Tech
I first met Dr. Vives when I started my treatment in 2014 and joined the team in 2018. You can find me doing everything from IT to making retainers with our 3D printer and keeping the lab sterile and stopless. I'm currently a college student that loves reading a good book, and shopping!
LISA
Patient Coordinator
I've been blessed to be part of the amazing All Star family for over 12 years. You'll find me at the front desk with a warm greeting and genuine smile. I'm dedicated to helping with any questions and scheduling your treatment needs. I'm passionate about getting to know all of our patients and making sure they receive quality service from our front office. I'm the luckiest mother of three that loves dining out, being outdoors, and spending time with family, and friends.
CAROLYN
Treatment Coordinator
I have been with the All Star team since 2020. I have over 20 years of experience in Orthodontics. As our office Treatment Coordinator I enjoy helping our new patients and their families choose the perfect treatment to achieve their best smile. When I am not in the office, I enjoy being outdoors, going on nature walks and checking out new restaurants. I also enjoy spending my free time with my family and friends.
BRENDA
Financial Coordinator
I'm your friendly neighborhood insurance and billing specialist! I have over 30 years of experience explaining and discussing insurance benefits and processing dental claims. It's a pleasure working at All Star interacting with everyone's friendly smile and of course, the numbers! I'm fortunate to have my high school sweetheart, best friend and husband by my side. My family and I enjoy running for a great cause. With having my beautiful daughter and amazing son both now married, I'm excited to become a grandma very soon!
KARIN
Orthodontic Assistant
Hi, I’m Karin! I have been an orthodontic assistant for 28 years and an Old Bridge resident for 37 years. I love what I do! I truly enjoy seeing how comfortable we can make an apprehensive patient feel when they come to our office. Our staff puts emphasis on making each patient feel important. In my spare time I enjoy taking long walks with my daughter and German Shepherd. My husband and I enjoy good food, so cooking is among my favorite hobbies. We hope you choose our office for your orthodontic treatment. We would love to see your happy smile join ours.
JORDAN
Orthodontic Assistant
Hey all my name is Jordan. I started out in the orthodontic field working in the lab and eventually making my way to the clinical area as an orthodontic assistant. Since being at ASFO, my position has transitioned into treatment coordinator. My position has allowed me to be a part of a patients’ smile transformation throughout treatment and has been so rewarding. If you’re at the office and ever hear someone at the front desk with a really loud laugh, yes that’s me! I love to laugh and you can always find me smiling from ear to ear. On my free time if I’m not researching my next travel destination you can find me hiking with my dog or spending time with my nieces and nephew.
NEIDA
Orthodontic Assistant
Hi my name is Neida. I was born in Manhattan, NY but, raised most of my life in New Jersey. Being a dental assistant at Dr. Vives’s office has motivated me to continue to learn more about the dental world and the importance of making sure patients are always comfortable and happy. On my free time, you’ll most likely find me playing with my Siberian husky Lobo, at the gym, or at home relaxing with a glass of wine. If you get to know me on a personal level you’ll catch me being a bubbly person such as smiling, humming along to a song, and most importantly being a positive person.
