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. She currently lives in Merrimac and loves the small town feel of it and all of the surrounding communities. Her spare time is spent enjoying her family and her Husky, Tuukka!

Loved our experience with Dr. Riccio and crew. Not only did my daughter's teeth end up looking amazing, everyone involved with his practice was wonderful, helpful and considerate. Always on time and quick. They really run like a well-oiled machine while never losing the personal touch. The convenience of three offices got us out of a lot of scheduling conflicts as well. Highly recommend.

Wouldn't recommend, he cares more about the money than anything. Keeps you waiting for about 25 minutes on average. Doesn't communicate the plan with you, and never gives a flat out answer when asked. He messed up my braces the first time and I needed to get them on again, totaling up to 7 years with braces. He is also not considerate with age, my sister got them on beginning of freshman year even though she was recommended in 7th grade. Overall his not a good choice for an orthodontist, plus he isn't very friendly when you do anything that he does not like. For example being 5 mins late to an appointment that he was going to make you sit around for 20 minutes anyway.
