Meet Dr. Leonard T. Fazio
Dr. Leonard T. Fazio's journey in dentistry is both unique and inspiring. After graduating from New York University College of Dentistry in 1988 and experiencing severe health problems, Dr. Fazio's research and personal experiences led him to discover the harmful effects of mercury exposure in dental practices.
His dedication to finding a healthier approach for both himself and his patients led him to become an expert in mercury-safe dental practices.
Trained by Dr. Hal Huggins, DDS, MS, in mercury-safe amalgam-removal protocols, Dr. Fazio's transformation has not only benefited his own health but has also profoundly impacted the way he practices dentistry. He is passionate about providing mercury-free and mercury-safe treatments, ensuring a healthier dental experience for his patients.
Ashley
Dental Assistant
A Long Island native, I embarked on my dental assisting career in 2008 and joined Dr. Fazio's team in 2015. Working alongside such a fantastic team, I find joy in helping our patients achieve and maintain radiant, healthy smiles, always ensuring their comfort during treatment. Outside of the clinic, my husband and I feed our adventurous spirits through travel, kayaking, paddle boarding, and enjoying live music under the summer skies.
Tammy
Hygienist
Growing up in Saint James, I've dedicated over 30 years to dental hygiene, with the last 15 years focused on holistic practices. I pride myself on providing gentle yet thorough care, including comfortable dental injections and Nitrous Oxide administration. My journey in holistic dentistry expanded into becoming a Myofunctional Therapist, with a keen interest in essential oils. Married for over 25 years and a mother of three, my happiest moments are those spent with my family and dog, especially when we're outdoors or relaxing by the beach.
Ariel
Appointment Coordinator
As the welcoming face at Holistic Dental Wellness since 2017, I've grown to see my colleagues as an extended family. My aim is to ensure your visits are not just comfortable but filled with confidence and ease. When not orchestrating appointments, I'm an outdoor enthusiast, hiking, exploring diverse culinary delights, and reveling in the latest food trends. My love for animals extends beyond admiration; I regularly contribute to our local animal hospital by donating office shredded paper.
