The practice first opened in 1976 in the original World Trade Center, founded by Dr. Marchitto and Dr. Longo. The practice lost its building and few of its patients in the tragic incident on 9/11, yet moved to another location and survived with the help of loyal patients. If you are a first responder or family member of a victim on 9/11 , don’t have dental insurance, and are on the registry of The World Trade Center Health Program, we have a special discount program for you.

We look forward to adding you to our family and welcoming you in person in our practice.
