Ronald Abaro, DDS

Dr. Abaro: “I’ve always been good with my hands. I could make or fix anything. But my previous profession in the medical field left me wanting more to do with my natural talent. The hospital taught me the most important lessons for my dental career though. It taught me how to care for people’s emotional needs, how to communicate with patients, and how to empathize with someone in pain. I feel so fortunate to be in a profession where I go to my office not to work, but to do things that I love. Such as helping people improve their quality of life through dental education, using my hands to create beautiful smiles, alleviate pain, and meet new people. The greatest satisfaction I receive from dentistry is connecting with patients through education. By using simple explanations, photographs of their condition, and relating it on terms they are familiar with, my goal is to motivate patients to take control of their situation and start living the quality life they deserve now. Too often I meet people who live with conditions and handicaps on a day-to-day basis that lowers their quality of life. My philosophy is to help them take control of their health and improve their quality of life forever. And hopefully in the process, they effect the same change in the people around them. It’s incredible when I see people regain control and start getting so much more out of life.”
