Before

After

MARK R. PAPO, DDS

It was a big decision to make, but in 1994 Dr. Papo moved his dental practice from Queens to Rockland County — which not only meant he’d have to leave his already-established practice — but it also meant that he’d be starting a new dental practice from scratch.

After graduating from New York University College of Dentistry in 1980 and continuing his training at Long Island Jewish Hospital, Dr. Papo spent more than a decade growing his Queens dental practice, offering care and expertise to every patient. He formed lasting relationships with his patients in the Queens community, which made it even harder to leave when it was time for a new beginning.

But this new beginning was necessary for to him to be closer to his family — to be able to do things like coach his daughter’s softball team and chaperone school trips. And while fresh starts are rarely easy, word of mouth from his loyal patients allowed Dr. Papo to grow and expand a truly service-oriented dental practice in Rockland County.

Dr. Papo consistently advances his services and standards to the next level. A founding member of the Hudson River Implant Study Club and the Nanuet Implant Study Club, he is also recognized by the American Dental Association, the New York State Dental Association, and the New York Dental Foundation for his accomplishments in continuing education. As he develops and expands his expertise in the dental field, Dr. Papo also refines his philosophy about how excellent dentistry should be delivered.

“Many of my patients first came to me in pain with little or zero past dental treatment. This was usually due to fear. I find kindness and patience — and a good dose of laughter — have helped my patients to overcome previous ‘bad’ experiences. I am extremely proud that I’ve been able to restore their mouths to beautiful and healthy ones!”

Dr. Papo is inspired by his devoted, high-performing team and loves that his family has also served Papo Family Dentistry. His wife Susan works behind the scenes, and his daughters, Katie and Jenny, both helped during high school as a rite of passage. The only family member who hasn’t joined the Papo Family Dentistry team is his furry pal Cody Papo — he only speaks “bark.”

Dr. Papo and his team continue to serve the community year after year, making more healthy smiles in Rockland County.
