 Philips Heart to Hand Hygienist Recognition Award Submission Nominee: Raymond DiMartino Practice: Smile Lab Dentistry 

At Smile Lab Dentistry, we believe excellence is not just measured by clinical skill, but by compassion, leadership, and the unwavering commitment to making every patient feel truly cared for. That’s why we are proud to nominate our Lead Dental Hygienist, Raymond DiMartino, for the Philips Heart to Hand Hygienist Recognition Award. 

From the moment Raymond joined our team, he has raised the bar in every way. Brilliantly intelligent and clinically precise, he brings an extraordinary depth of knowledge to every aspect of his role. Whether he’s mentoring new hygienists, collaborating with dentists on treatment plans, or staying ahead of the latest innovations in dental hygiene, his commitment to excellence is unmatched. 

But what truly sets Raymond apart is his heart. 

Patients adore him, not just for his skill, but for the way he treats each person with warmth, empathy, and genuine care. He has an incredible ability to put even the most anxious patients at ease, creating an experience that is not only professional but deeply personal. His chairside manner is calm, respectful, and reassuring, turning routine appointments into moments of connection and trust. 

Behind the scenes, Raymond is the backbone of our hygiene team. He leads with humility, integrity, and an unshakeable work ethic. He consistently goes above and beyond, often stepping in to help wherever needed, whether that means staying late to accommodate a patient in need, supporting a team member, or simply taking the time to make someone smile on a tough day. 

We deeply appreciate everything Raymond brings to our practice. His presence elevates our entire team and helps create the kind of environment where both patients and staff thrive. He is not only a remarkable hygienist but a truly exceptional human being. 

It’s rare to find someone who embodies both heart and hand with such grace and consistency. Raymond DiMartino is that rare kind of leader who inspires by example, and we can think of no one more deserving of this recognition.
