Administrative

Administrative Team (from left to right): Kelly, Barbara, Michaela, Joe, and Meghan. Joan not yet pictured. 

Kelly is one of our Patient Care Coordinators who is skilled with dental insurance verification and appeals. With a calming, friendly presence, she works to ensure our patients get the best treatment from their dental insurances, and will appeal their decisions to make sure our patients get covered as best as possible. She crafts the schedule to maximize the number of patients we see daily and provides helpful reminders to patients. Kelly is a UNH alum with a degree in History and Italian Studies. (Bellisima!) In her free time, she enjoys laying on her couch with her cat, Paco. You can find her hiking in New Hampshire and the Blue Hills with her "fur-phew" Noe (pronounced no-eh) or at Widow Maker brewery in Braintree, where her fiance, Matt, works! 

Barbara heads our Administrative Team and as Dr. David’s wife and Dr. Kimberly’s mother, she makes our office a true family practice! She was born and raised here in Milton, MA, and completed both undergraduate and graduate nursing training at Boston College. After working for several years as an oncology nurse at Tufts, she took a break to raise her children and initially returned to work with Dr. Dave on “special projects.” 27 years later, she’s still at Harte Dental and we couldn’t imagine life without her! She lives in Milton with Dr. Dave and their dog Buddy. She enjoys walking, reading, and sewing, and is also an excellent cook who always has the freshest ingredients thanks to Dr. Dave’s garden! She loves spending time with her 7 grandchildren!

Michaela is Dr. Harte's Dental Assistant, but she can also help you out at the front! She enjoys scheduling your next appointment to keep you on track! What a Jack of All Trades!

Joe is one of our Patient Care Coordinators and is in charge of Harte Dental social media and community outreach. He is the husband of Dr. Kimberly Harte! He is also a certified and registered Occupational Therapist who also loves helping out at the office! Questions about your dental appointment? Scheduling? Achy joints? Home safety? Send them his way! In his free time, Joe loves spending ALL of his free time with his 3 amazing babies Brookes, Price, and Jessie, (and of course Dr. Kimberly)! He has a strong passion for youth work, with experience working with YMCAs, Town Youth Bureaus, Tenacity program, Boston Scholar Athletes, and Big Brothers, Big Sisters. Joe loves making our little patients feel right at home and happy about their trip to the dentist! 

Meghan is a native of the North Shore and an avid Boston sports fan, especially the Patriots! She received her Bachelor’s in Marketing and Communications from Suffolk University. Her journey to the Harte Dental team has included work in real estate and finance, as well as time living in Spain and Brazil. Her expertise in scheduling allows us to maximize each treatment room to better serve our patients, and her dental insurance know-how has helped many of our patients get the most out of their benefits. She also brings her passion and creativity for marketing and communication to helping get the word out about all the services we offer. Meghan lives with her husband their sons and "the favorite child" Coco, a Bernedoodle. When not at the hockey rink, she enjoys skiing and sailing.

Joan is originally from Ireland and has lived in the states for over 30 years. Her husband is also from Ireland and they have 4 wonderful children. Joan has a lot of office experience, which suits her, as she loves working with and meeting new people! She loves helping patients feel at home and happy when they first arrive. She loves watching her kids play sports and long walks on Nantasket Beach. She looks forward to getting back to Ireland to visit her family!
