Dr. Melissa started her journey in high school, working as a dental receptionist, which sparked her interest in the field. She later became a dental assistant upon entering New York University and learned that she was in love with the field of dentistry. Upon entering dental school, she involved herself in several community outreach projects and clinics with a pointed interest in dental care to pediatric communities. After graduation from dental school, she furthered her education with completion of a pediatric dental speciality certificate from Howard University in Washington D.C. She is dedicated to providing positive visits and dental education to pediatric populations and their families. Dr. Bruno-Piverger values understanding dental care and relaying information to families to encourage positive dental experiences.
