As I reflect on my last 32 years of being part of the wonderful community of Ridgewood, two words immediately come to mind: pride and intention. It all began in 1992, having just graduated from dental school and newly married, I moved to New Jersey to join my husband and the already-established Passarelli practice founded by my father-in-law.

The principles of pride and intention have always served as our guiding force as my late husband, Larry Passarelli, and I worked hard to grow the practice his father founded in 1961. Having the practice thrive and develop while forming lasting relationships was always our goal. It is my mission to continue the Passarelli legacy by aspiring to make the practice even better and to ensure a true sense of family where excellent cosmetic and restorative care, in addition to routine maintenance, is provided with the utmost empathy and dignity.

It has been a challenge over the years for so many reasons. As a practice, I have evolved and grown but I could not have done it alone. My incredible staff has been there through it all. They are truly family and having developed such an amazing team is one of this practice’s finest accomplishments. I am looking towards the future with a continued goal of serving the community and enhancing and growing patient relationships by providing excellent care skillfully and compassionately.
