Natalie and Scott met the very first day of dental school. It was love at first sight for both of them! After surviving four years of classes, tests, boards and clinic together, they knew it was meant to be. Coincidently, they were both proud to chosen for the honors prosthodontics program at Tufts — they were taught special accelerated skills that they re-taught to their classmates.
Robert, Natalie and Scott greatly enjoy sharing their skills and expertise in dentistry. They are very excited about practicing state of the art dentistry together for many years to come.
