Meet Our Team

Lori Lashen Spector, DMD

After more than two decades in group practice—mostly in Laurel—Dr. Spector realized a lifelong dream when she established her own practice in 2006. She believes that life should be filled with dreams that become reality, and as a dentist, she can offer patients the smile of their dreams. Helping people makes Dr. Spector happy.

After earning her bachelor’s degree from the University of Louisville in Kentucky, Dr. Spector continued her education and earned her DMD. She’s a proud member of the American Dental Association, the Maryland State Dental Association, and the Southern Maryland Dental Society. When she’s away from the office, Dr. Spector is an avid tennis player and enjoys cruising the Chesapeake Bay with her husband on their boat.. She has two kids—a son and daughter—both of whom have graduated college.

Jessica Ramirez, Financial and Insurance Coordinator

First impressions are lasting impressions and your first impression of Spector Family Dental is likely to be Jessica over the phone or when you arrive. When you visit our office, Jessica's warm and contagious smile is the first thing that greets you at the door. Whether in English or en Espanol, Jessica will answer all your insurance questions and put any concerns at ease. Her goal is to make your appointment run as smoothly as possible with no insurance surprises. On her free time she loves to shop, travel, and most importantly care for her 3 year-old son. She will most likely be the one to schedule your first appointment.

Lena Swann, Treatment Care Coordinator and Dental Assistant

Lena has been a dental assistant for almost 12 years. She assisted Dr. Spector for eight years before Dr. Spector opened her private practice. Lena has a huge, close-knit extended family and spends her free time with them. She is also very active with her church. With a special gift in helping people, Lena comforts and encourages patients in their dental care and in their lives. At Spector Family Dental, she is considered part of a team and not just a staff member. Lena appreciates laughing and having fun with the team while working and providing spectacular patient care. Lena is eager to sit down with patients, discuss their dental goals, and help them achieve them.

Tracy is a 2008 graduate of dental assistant school and has earned her x-ray certification. Tracy began working at Spector Family Dental part time in the summer of 2009 and in the fall became a full member of the team.

She is likely to be at Dr. Spector’s side when you come for your appointment.
