Meet the Team
Peter J. Coccaro, Jr., DDS, MS
“My father was an orthodontist, and I always liked helping people. There’s nothing better than putting a smile on someone’s face. Changing faces and lives is very gratifying. After decades of doing this work, I still find it rewarding to help patients of all ages achieve and maintain functional, attractive smiles. I love getting to know my patients, having fun with them and, ultimately, giving them a positive feeling about themselves. Our long-tenured staff is caring, compassionate and friendly, and patients always tell us how much they enjoy their visits.”

Dr. Coccaro is an avid sports fan and sports memorabilia collector (in case you couldn’t tell by his office decor). When not at the office, Dr. Coccaro enjoys spending time with his wife, children and grandchildren; playing and watching (you guessed it) sports. He also spends a number of hours on the golf course!
