Laurie Strout, registered dental hygienist
I graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson University with a degree in dental hygiene. Upon graduation I chose to work in private practice where I have been fortunate to establish long term relationships with both doctors and patients. I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Vu for the past sixteen years. I continue to be intrigued by the advances in oral health care and its relationship to our overall health, and look forward to passing that knowledge on to our patients. I currently reside in Blairstown, NJ with my husband and three children. In my spare time I enjoy sports, traveling, reading and spending time with family and friends. |

I began working with Dr. Vu in May of 2017, and look forward to many years to come as part of her amazing dental team. I grew up in North Haledon and currently reside in Totowa, NJ.

Amina Hakim, dental assistant
I joined Dr. Vu’s team seven years ago as her dental assistant. It is my goal to promote an atmosphere of comfort and trust by attending to our patients with compassion and enthusiasm. I strongly feel good dental health is very important for our overall health. I’ve enjoyed getting to know our patients on a personal level. The true reward for me is seeing them leave our office content with the care they received. Working with Dr. Vu has taught me a lot. I’m proud to work with an extraordinary dentist who is honest and caring. Her dedication to patient care makes my job incredibly fulfilling and rewarding. I live in Denville with my husband and daughter. I enjoy cooking, shopping and spending time with my family and friends. |
