Originally from Fairfield, CT, I started working in an orthodontic office as an after school job in high school. After attending college in Boston, I moved to Marblehead where I began working for Dr. Riccio in 1988. My first role with him was as an orthodontic assistant. I later attended dental hygiene school at Middlesex College. After I got married and had our two sons, Ben and Sean, I returned to Dr. Riccio's office working at the front desk. In my free time I enjoy traveling and watching my two boys playing football, basketball and baseball.
Theresa began working for Dr. Riccio as the treatment coordinator in 1997. Prior to that she worked as a scheduling coordinator for a busy pediatric dental office.
