“Dr. Michele”, as she is known to her patients, just celebrated her 27th year in dentistry. She received her Doctor of Dental Medicine Degree (DMD) in 1988 from Fairleigh Dickinson University School of Dentistry, where she received Top Honor Awards in Restorative, Pediatric and Prosthodontic Dentistry, along with a Teaching Fellowship in Restorative Dentistry. She graduated Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the highest honor awarded to a graduating dentist for achieving both academic and clinical excellence.
Along with her love of the sciences, Dr Michele also studied and excelled in fine art, sculpture, and design. Her natural ability and passion for art, and her eye for balance, color, detail, and esthetics has contributed to her talent and skill in Cosmetic and Restorative dentistry. She continually pursues her postgraduate education and training in the latest treatments, procedures, and technology in Cosmetic Dentistry, as well as in Implant, Restorative, TMJ, and Periodontic Dentistry.
Inspired by her father, Dr. Carmen Giuffre, who started the practice over 50 years ago and retired in 2006, Dr. Michele shares her passion with her associates, Dr. Diane Mears and Dr. Jeffrey Powell, with whom she has been practicing with for over 25 and 17 years, respectively.
When Dr. Michele is not designing smiles, she enjoys designing her own sea glass jewelry line, practicing good health and nutrition, traveling and spending time with her family and friends, and raising her two sons along with their mini goldendoodle. She is also active in many charitable and civic organizations.
Dr. Michele's compassionate and gentle manner, along with her highly trained exceptional staff, ensure her patients a positive and pleasant experience.
