I get to practice my field in the best little city in the world. Second only to my excitement for great dentistry is my enthusiasm for New Haven. I enjoy some of the most interesting patients in Connecticut. I love my neighborhood in the Elm City's Lincoln-Bradley area (where I've been fortunate enough to take ownership of New Haven's first modernist home in the International style - I'm a little proud, OK?). Whether it's eating sushi at Miso or picking up omelet supplies from Nica's on a Saturday morning, I truly relish living and working here. It's the perfect blend of small town warmth and intimacy with big city sophistication...
Born in New York City in 1961, the son of Sicilian immigrants (my sisters were born in Italy), I grew up in a similar place, in a way a friendly place where people really got to know each other in neighborhoods. One-on-one interaction was standard. Still, the glitz of Manhattan was always nearby, too.
My first brush with New Haven was attending Yale (BA, 1983), where I majored in architecture. Ironically, what I enjoyed most about architecture was making models and working with my hands - things you get to do often in dentistry, of course. With its emphasis on structure, strength, and beauty, dental work could be called architecture for the mouth.
In the 1980s, I spent a couple years doing 'the corporate thing' (real estate asset management). Not for me; I wasn 't quite satisfied. Maybe it 's the Brooklyn in me, but I felt I missed working with people close-up. I eventually figured out that my great love was dentistry, and I then attended dental school in Connecticut. I remember running into one of my former Yale professors a few years ago, telling him I was slightly ashamed at giving up architecture. He said something to me I 've never forgotten, something which revolutionized my way of thinking about my job. 'Well, dentistry is architecture for the mouth.' Indeed, it is. For me, the penny dropped that day.
Spending time with my family is important. I have three wonderful sons and a lovely wife, and we relish our moments together, even if it's just watching serial TV, streaming videos, or cooking together.
I sang in the Yale Camerata. Once in a while, I 've been known to belt out a bar or two in the office. At Yale, as an undergrad, I also sang in Glee Club. I 'm also a big supporter of local arts. You can see one contemporary quilt I commissioned especially for my office in the waiting area. You may have noticed, too, those beautiful, strange photographs on our walls as you walk in the practice. They 're actually close-ups of histology slides of teeth turned into abstract art! I 'm also a bit of a 'gadget guy' and a frequent reader of Wired magazine. I like to stay on the cutting edge of technology.
But in the end, what matters to me most - more than art, more than my state-of-the-art Apple devicesare people. Smart dentistry involves artistry, architecture, technology and skill - but without caring, and even a sense of fun, it's nothing. Being able to help my patients in New Haven has been my enduring joy. Yes, I may just be the luckiest dentist in the world.

I would urge you to get a second opinion before committing to expensive work with Dr Quigley. He took me for a really shameful ride.

I'm so happy with Dr. Quigley and his team! I've seen Dr. Quigley for years but have a medical condition that limits my ability to get out and about these days, and this office has been understanding and accommodating. Tracy, the Office Manager, is so helpful when it comes to scheduling, billing, and insurance. She breaks down costs and explains everything really well. Tasha, the Dental Hygienist, is super friendly and personable. She is thorough and gentle while cleaning and offers suggestions when asked how to up your oral hygiene game. Lauren, the Dental Assistant, is gentle and knowledgeable while assisting but is also so warm and friendly any time your in the chair. Dr. Quigley is the nicest Dentist I've been to, and there's been several. He explains procedures very well and it's easy to tell he wants the best for your oral health. During procedures, Dr. Quigley ensures you are always comfortable, explains step by step, and shares personal stories to help you get to know him. I'm very happy with my experience with this office and will happily return for my dental care needs.

Dr. Quigley is the best dentist I've ever had. He's very smart about dentistry and his fillings don't fall out. Which is a backhanded way of saying that he's extremely skillful. He always gives honest and reliable information and doesn't try to sell new procedures for the sake of selling them. Dr. Quigley's staff is highly effective and very friendly. I heartily recommend Dr. Quigley. I'll say it again-- Dr. Quigley is flat out the best dentist I have ever had. He gives 100% no matter how simple or complicated a particular problem can be. And he knows exactly what's needed for any problem. In addition he knows his work from a medical perspective and likes to explain what he is doing, which is very helpful. Finally his office staff it efficient, kind and friendly. You can't do better than Dr. Quigley.
