Dr. Stephen J. Matarazzo earned an undergraduate degree from Boston College and graduated Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in 1978. He went directly into private practice in his home town of Quincy, MA. With a commitment to learning and always setting his sights on doing the best for every patient, he dedicated himself to being a constant student. Dr. Matarazzo attended the L. D. Pankey Institute, the Misch Implant Surgical Institute, and is a Fellow in the International Congress of Implantology. Dr. Bill Strupp, widely recognized as one of the finest restorative dentists in the world, was his most influential mentor. World renowned endodontist, Dr. Stephen Buchanan and periodontist Dr. Ron Nevins added critical building blocks to his “tool box” to help his patients.
He and his wife Joanne have three children. Their greatest happiness has been the time spent with them. Skiing fifty days a winter, Cape Cod and surfing in the summer, coaching little league and soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, youth and high school football, cheering competition, and horseback riding were all integral parts of their’s, Katie’s, Michael’s, and Meg’s lives. Their commitment to each other, their children, and their practice still grows. Stephen’s wife Joanne continues to be an irreplaceable cog in the practice. She has been a main connection to the patients with her genuine caring, and selfless ways.
Dr. Pankey said, “Know your work, know your patients, have it in your heart and in your hands. Communicate just what you think is best for the patient. Tell the patients what optimum dental care would do for them and let the patient choose”. Dr. Stephen Matarazzo learned this and does his best everyday to “do the right thing” for his patients, family, staff and friends.
In an effort to give back to the community, Dr. Matarazzo, Joanne and staff are involved in volunteering their services and their state of the art facility to patients who are being treated at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, who are in need of dental services.
"Dentistry At Its Finest" is how Dr. Matarazzo describes his practice. Does this sound like what you want for you and your family?
