Jill Blackwell
Dental Hygienist

I am from Plainville, CT. I am a graduate of Tunxis Community College. I have been practicing Dental Hygiene for over twenty years. My goals are to educate my patients on the benefits of a healthy mouth, so they can enjoy a healthy lifestyle for the rest of their lives.

In my free time, I am an avid fan of UCONN Women’s Basketball and the WNBA, as well as tennis. I also enjoy walking, especially on the beach. Reading a good book or watching a movie are also favorite things to do.

Beverly Pitrone
Dental Practice Administrator

I have lived in Hebron for over thirty years with my husband and children.. I was born and raised in Connecticut and have lived here all my life. I have 2 grown children. My daughter and son both reside locally, as well as my 3 wonderful step grandchildren, who I adore. I have worked for Dr. Brahm for over 12 years and plan to be here for many more. My goal is to make patients feel at ease in our office, and to help them in any way I can. I am so blessed to work with the finest dental team and the best patients ever.

I have been an avid Red Sox fan my entire life. I love Mustangs! You’ll see my yellow Mustang parked in the parking lot on most sunny days and on some days, you might see two. In my spare time, I love to dabble in making jewelry. It’s really become my part time passion. I love to bake and I also love to make soups and create new recipes. In addition to all that, I also have an extensive collection of Christmas Village houses and figurines.
