the team
Three doctors, and the people who make them look good.
Three full-time doctors practice here: senior dentists Dr. Marissa DeAngelis and Dr. Amina Parvez, and associate dentist Dr. Sophia Ellia. At least two full-time doctors in the building, Monday through Friday — which means the doctor you establish with is the doctor you actually see.
Around them works the part of a dental office patients remember most: the hygienists who know your history without re-asking, the assistants who narrate before you wonder, and a front desk that answers with a person and treats insurance questions as their job, not yours.
The doctors
Dr. DeAngelis is the longest-tenured doctor in the Willis & Associates group and sets the clinical standard here — her page tells the fuller story. Dr. Parvez brings VCU and Rutgers training and a following of whole families. Dr. Ellia — DDS, MBA from West Virginia University — chose Crozet for the mountains and brought a listen-first style with her.
Dr. Taylor, who founded the practice more than fifty years ago, has retired; Dr. Willis, who founded Willis & Associates in this office, sees select smile-design cases by personal referral. Both stories live on the About page.
Faces coming soon
Team portraits are being shot in one consistent session — the same light, the same honesty — rather than assembled from mismatched years. They'll appear here as they're ready. What won't appear: stock photos of models pretending to be us. You'll meet the actual people, here and in the chair.
Questions we hear in the chair
- Can I request a specific doctor?
- Always — say the name when you book and the front desk matches the schedule. Families who split across two doctors for timing reasons stay one household in our records.
- Will I see the same hygienist each visit?
- We aim for continuity — it's better dentistry when the person cleaning your teeth remembers last visit's gum measurements. Tell the front desk if you've found your match.
- Are you hiring?
- A growing practice usually is — the careers page has the current picture and how to reach us.
