Dr. Leonard T. Fazio graduated from New York University College of Dentistry, NY, New York in 1988. Shortly after graduating and working in the dental field, he began to experience myriad health problems including, irregular heartbeat, fatigue, unexplained anxiety, headaches and sensitivity to light and sound. While his physicians could offer no cause or provide any solutions, Dr. Fazio knew that something was wrong. It was not, as many suggested, 'all in your head'. Convinced that there had to be another explaination, his research led him to question whether his occupation was to blame. After attending a seminar in Colorado Springs, CO, in the fall of 1992, he finally got his answers. It was obvious then that in addition to having a mouthfull of 'silver' amalgam fillings, which are actually 50% MERCURY, and then having an occupational exposure to mercury from drilling and filling with that material,Dr. Faziowas being slowly, steadilypoisoned by Mercury !! It was at that moment that he realized that despite the prevailing notion that these so-called silver fillings were actually a problem and immediately vowed to stop using them in his practice.

After receiving a formal education and training on the proper handling of mercury-fillings, as well as the mercury-safe amalgam-removal protocols from the renowned Dr. Hal Huggins, DDS, MS, Dr. Fazio's life changed dramatically. After making some lifestyle changes his diet andchanging his diet, Dr. Fazio, slowly and steadily recovered from this Mercury toxicity. To hear him tell it, Dr, Fazio feels very fortunate to have found this important information early on in his dental career. It has allowed him to get truly healthy and his patients have benefitted as well. Dr. Fazio has been practicing mercury-free, mercury-safeand metal-free dentistry since 1993, and he is dedicated to the philosophy of holistic, integrated dentistry. Hecontinued to seek more training from Dr.Hal Huggins, DDS, and continues to expand his knowledge on this subject, as well as any and all complimentary therapies and protocols designed to promote optimal oral and overall health. As your Oral Health doctor, Dr. Fazio is well-versed in alternative and intergrative medicine, and can coordinate dental treatment with your Medical Doctor, Naturopath, Chiropractor, Acupuncturist, or other healthcare provider.

Dr. Fazio believes that continuing education is a powerful tool that allows him to provide you and your family the finest and most current state-of-the-art dental care. Each year he takes many hours of advanced continuing education courses in many areas of holistic and traditional dentistry.

I have been a dental assistant since 2008. I was born and raised on long island. I started working with Dr.Fazio in 2015. He is an awesome dentist to work with as well as the rest of the team. I love being a dental assistant and helping patients maintain and achieve beautiful healthy smiles as well as comforting each patient during their treatment. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband. We are adventurous and love to travel. In the summer, we love to go kayaking, paddle boarding and going to concerts.

I wouldn't go to anyone else for my dental work after starting with Dr. Fazio over 30 years ago. He is the best, accommodating, professional, thorough, careful, correct in his evaluations, and spends time answering all of your questions. My young adults also see Dr. Fazio as well and love him! He and the staff go above and beyond making you feel as comfortable as possible.

I have been going to Dr Fazio for about 6 years now and I would never go anywhere else. I have been traumatized by previous dentists that I went to growing up that offered horrible care. The care I get at Dr Fazio's office is a huge breath of fresh air (I actually look forward to the dentist instead of panicking over it!) and always make me feel so welcomed. Dr Fazio is extremely generous with his time and knowledge and offers you ample time to ask any questions you have. His practice leads with integrity and I'm so grateful I found them! :)

Dr. Fazio and staff are so amazing!!! Everyone is so welcome and warm. Dr. Fazio is willing to replace all my mercury fillings which are extremely deep and no other dentist would do it. He took his time to explain everything. I couldn't be more happy to have gone there. I trust him completely - Carolina
