Dr. Bartolazo’s Philosophy of Care:

For me, becoming a dentist was a family tradition. My uncle was a dentist and my father was a physician. I am committed to providing my patients with the highest quality of dentistry with the least amount of discomfort. I like to build a good rapport with my patients and make them feel at ease. It’s important for them to have a positive dental experience every time they come in.”

“Growing up as a little girl, my mother who is a dentist, used to take me to work with her. Having been around dentistry all my life, I knew going into high school that the career choice for me would be dentistry. The more I worked with her, the more intrigued I became in the field. Whether it was relieving their pain or brightening their smiles, I enjoyed watching her help people. One thing that stood out to me was how my mother was able to form long lasting relationships with her patients. Emulating her success at work inspired me to pursue dentistry.”
