Our Team
Dr Melanie Russo , DMD
Dr Melanie Russo practices an integrative approach to dental health care.
She utilizes comprehensive holistic examinations to understand her patients and to gain an intuitive perspective on each patient’s unique oral health issues. She then develops a comprehensive dental treatment plan to complement their personal needs. Dr Russo earned her doctorate degree at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and has been practicing dentistry for 25 years. She has considered herself “holistic” before it became a popular term. She originally sought out Dr. Hal Huggins as her mentor and had the opportunity to extensively research his protocol and consult with him . When Dr. Russo realized the benefits of using health conscious dental products and protocols, she then began to research additional alternative modalities and incorporated them into her practice.
Outside of the dental office, Dr Russo enjoys spending quality time with her family and friends.
