Hello! I'm Dr. Sullivan, and I want to sincerelywelcome you to our practice. The staff and I consider each other a second family, and we extend this care and consideration to our patients every day. Getting to know each patient on a one on one basis is my favorite part of my day. I love making connections with my neighbors and community members through my practice.

Before I became a dentist, I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Rutgers University in 1975, then my Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from Columbia University in 1979. For the past 30 years, I have been dedicated to providing the highest quality and most up to date procedures and services for my clients.

In order to be sure my clients are receiving the best care, I consider my continuing dental education a major part of my job. I average one day a month attending continuing education courses in dentistry and in medicine as it relates to dentistry. This keeps me up to date on the latest materials, techniques, equipment and trends, in order to provide the best possible care for my patients.

Our office is dedicated to meeting the individual needs of each and every patient. We do this by listening closely to our patients' wants and goals. We present all options for treatment, and encourage the patient to choose the one best for them and their budget. All care is given with the patient's comfort as our highest priority. Nearly all procedures are performed by me in our office, so that patients rarely need to be referred out to specialists for treatment.

My wife, Maureen, and I have one daughter, Colleen, who is living and working in Manhattan. Our son, Sean, is in college. We have one dog, Bella, and two cats. My wife and I can often be seen riding our bikes, golfing or hanging out at the beach.

What makes our office special is our friendship and our training. Most of us have been together since the mid 1980's, and we are each other's support system and community. We consider each other and our patients to be part of the family, and treasure each member. Our new patients are always surprised at the openness, honesty and humor with which we work. We don't just see our practice as our work, but as a part of our community. We hope you will join our family of patients soon.

Most of our team has worked together for many years; were not just coworkers, were friends and feel like members of an extended family. The connections we have with each other extend to each of our patients. In fact, we dont think of our patients as patients, rather we see each person as the remarkable individual they are, and strive to build lasting relationships with them.

We understand that your dental needs and concerns are as unique as you. Thats why we listen and encourage you to be candid with us if you have dental anxiety or if something else is on your mind. Its important to us that you feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed during your visits. With open communication, well make that happen.

Arlene, Kathy, and Kelly, are our assistants. Each has been part of the practice for more than 20 years, and theyre all Certified Dental Assistants and Certified Orthodontic Assistants. These ladies work chairside, helping Dr. Sullivan during treatments, and supporting you in the process.

Angela is our dental hygienist. Shes been part of our dental family for about 10 years. In addition to cleaning teeth and preventing oral health issues, Angela provides a lot of dental hygiene education. She loves helping people understand the connection between a healthy mouth and body, and helping each person understand their unique oral hygiene concerns. Then she works with the person to find the care routines, along with habit and diet changes, that will improve the health of their mouth and smile.
