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.
