Originally from Long Island, Dr. Molinaro, from a young age, was always interested in dentistry. He was very fortunate that his family dentist asked him to observe. He later practiced with him for two years.
Dr. Molinaro completed his Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry & Psychology at SUNY at StonyBrook, and completed an additional year in Biochemical research which ended in a publication in JBC. He went on to New York University College of Dentistry to earn his Doctorate of Dental Surgery receiving awards in Family Practice and Operative Dentistry. Once in private practice he focused his post doctorate education on Lasers in Dentistry and went on to earn Mastership status at the Academy of Laser Dentistry. Along with cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry, he continues to use lasers for soft tissue treatments in practice today.
Once he became a resident of Ridgefield, Dr. Molinaro was introduced to Dr. Richard Scala. Upon Dr. Scala’s retirement, Dr. Molinaro and his former partner, Dr. Healy continued the practice for over 22 years. Dr. Healy has since retired, while Dr. Molinaro continues to practice in the office.
Dr. Molinaro makes it a priority to listen to every patient’s concerns, taking the time to explain treatment options, so patients can make the best choice suited for their needs. His optimal goal is to establish a trusting relationship with each patient and provide comfortable dental care in a warm friendly environment.
Outside the office, Dr. Molinaro enjoys spending time with his immediate and large extended family, playing golf, hiking, biking, kayaking, reading, music and movies.
