senior dentist
Dr. Marissa DeAngelis
Dr. DeAngelis is the senior dentist patients have trusted here longest — the longest-tenured doctor in the Willis & Associates group, with more years in these operatories than anyone practicing today.
Ask patients what stands out and the answers repeat: she explains before she works, she remembers what you told her last visit, and the warmth is the real kind — the Italian-family kind, where taking care of people is just what a household does.
How she practices
Everything gets explained before an instrument moves — what she sees, what the options are, and what she'd choose for her own family. The raise-your-hand rule is hers as much as the practice's, and 'let's watch it' is an answer she gives when watching is honestly enough.
As lead doctor she also sets the room's standard: the reason nervous patients get extra time and kids get instruments demonstrated on a finger first is that the person in charge insists on it.
Seeing Dr. DeAngelis
She practices here full time and accepts new patients — book online or call, and the front desk will match you to her schedule. Her introduction film is coming to this page after our footage day, along with her full training background.
