Two years ago (tomorrow), we lost someone who was so much more than a boss. He was a mentor, a teacher, a friend, and an incredible dentist whose impact still shows up in my life every single day.
I'm endlessly grateful for everything he taught me—not just about dentistry, but about integrity, leadership, compassion, and how to truly care for people. He believed in me, challenged me, and pushed me to grow, often before I fully believed in myself.
His lessons didn't end when he did. They live on in the way we work, the way we treat patients, and the way we try to show up for others. I still hear his advice in my head, still ask myself what he would do in certain moments.
Thank you for trusting me, guiding me, and leaving such a lasting mark on my life and career. You are deeply missed and never forgotten 💙

In honor of tomorrow, Advanced Family Dentistry of South Plainfield made a donation to the Dr. John Nazzaro Memorial Scholarship Fund. The scholarship goes to a student at Paramus Catholic, who may require financial assistance, similar to John when he was a student at PC.
