Dr. Feo's Biography — It is my goal always to do my best to exceed my patients' expectations. Professionally, the greatest satisfaction comes from knowing our patients are healthy and happy with the care they've received. My passion for dentistry started at a young age. I followed in my father's footsteps into the field: He is also a dentist and a periodontist. I earned my Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the Universidad Santa María, Caracas, Venezuela in 2006 and received advanced training in periodontics from Somos Educacion Colegio de Odontólogos, Caracas, Venezuela in 2009. I worked with my father at his office for four years before moving to Boston for my Master's degree and periodontology training at Boston University's Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine. Now I attend the most important annual meetings and symposiums through the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Periodontology to keep up to date with the latest procedures and materials. Also, I participate in hands-on training with new materials and technology from dental implant and regenerative material companies. My wife and I currently reside in Miami with our two-year-old son, and are expecting a baby girl. My time outside of work is spent fishing, skiing, playing soccer, and spending time with friends and family.
