I am very fortunate to have a profession that I care deeply about, in an accommodating community to both work and raise a family. The personal relationships I have cultivated with my patients over the years are certainly an added bonus. I have a relationship with my patients that goes above and beyond a standard doctor/patient relationship.
I am most passionate about relieving patients anxiety, and achieving outcomes that transform their smiles. I am also very gratified when I can get patients out of discomfort or pain. My patients are very appreciative and grateful for the services I am able to provide, and there is no better feeling than helping someone improve his or her quality of life!
I earned my Bachelor of Science at Fordham University before obtaining my Doctor of Dental Medicine at the University of Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. I would later complete a two-year residency through New York Universitys implant dentistry fellowship program.
I believe the continual pursuit of continuing education is vital for a dentist to remain current with existing and future technologies. I have logged more than a thousand hours of continuing education through the Tri-State Study Club, the Westchester Study Club, the Pankey Institute, the Spear Academy, and the Dawson Academy, all to better myself as a dentist and benefit my patients.
When Im not working, I love spending time with my wife Suzanne, my daughter Paige, my son Freddie, and our dogs, Daisy & Milo. We reside in Somers, and I can usually be found on a ball field helping coach my sons baseball team or at community events about town. I really enjoy watching my kids sports and the social aspect that comes with that. I also enjoy golfing and skiing when time allows.
I strongly believe in giving back and am very active in my community. I am involved with social activities within Somers. That includes volunteering with my church and the towns youth sports programs.
Shana loves getting to know our patients on a personal level while making them feel comfortable and welcomed. She gets a lot of satisfaction knowing how important her job is for maintaining our patients oral health, and by educating them about maintaining a healthy, gorgeous smile they can be proud of.
