My profession for me is about helping children in the best possible way I can. I love to be able to get a child out of pain, help create a beautiful smile, and restore proper oral function for a child. The most rewarding part is the proud smile on a childs face when we are done!

I was born and raised in the South Hills area of Pittsburgh. Upon graduation from high school, I attended the University of Pittsburgh where I earned my Bachelors degree (summa cum laude) in Neuroscience. I continued my education at the University of Pittsburghs School of Dental Medicine, and graduated with honors. Soon after, I completed my residency in pediatric dentistry at the Childrens National Medical Center located in Washington, DC.

My husband David is an electrical engineer in robotics. We have been blessed with four children: Zack, Dominic, Rose, and Anthony. I love animals and have two dogs, Lucy and Josie, our cat Winnie, and a canary named Rita. Its a bit of a zoo but I wouldnt have it any other way!

When Im not in the office, I love spending time outdoors. In the summer I hike and bike and in winter I enjoy skiing. My other interests include crocheting, cooking and baking, and trying new restaurants. Of course, quality family time is the most important thing to me.

Helping others in needs has been a lifelong passion of mine. I involve myself in community programs and non-profit organizations to provide this care in a non-professional setting with St. Kilian Parish Church, St. Jude, World Vision, Lighthouse Foundation, Catholic Charities, and Dynamic Catholic.

Dr. David Pechersky was born and raised in Monroeville. After graduating from Gateway High School, he went on to attend the University of Michigan before earning his D.M.D. from the University of Pittsburgh. At the completion of his dental training, Dr. Pechersky was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honors Society.

Dr. Pechersky became a specialist in orthodontics at Tufts University in Boston, MA. While at Tufts, Dr. Pechersky trained directly under the president of the American Board of Orthodontics. His commitment to fundamentals combined with his experience in the most advanced and modern techniques in orthodontics brings a unique and exciting philosophy to the office. While at Tufts, Dr. Pechersky's research was dedicated to patient hygiene and making sure that his patients teeth were as clean and beautiful after braces as before. He initiated the Tufts Orthodontic-Specific Prevention Protocol in an effort to eliminate the development of white spots (a potential side effect of poor oral hygiene while wearing braces).

Dr. Pechersky and his wife Laura live in Aspinwall with their two kids, Sasha and Theo, and their bernedoodle, Hazel. He is an avid follower of Pittsburgh and University of Michigan sports teams and enjoys playing hockey and spending time with his family and friends.
