SRQ DENTISRY - Dr. Lirio
VOTED ONE OF THE "SARASOTA'S TOP 12 DENTISTS" BY SRQ MAGAZINE READERS
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT YOUR PRACTICE THAT SETS YOU APART?
What is unique about our practice is that Dr. Lirio and his team understands how people need to hear information put in a respectful way that they can understand. Going to the dentist is like going to a mechanic who is telling you what is wrong with your car - we both talk to you in a way that sounds like were speaking a foreign language! Before Dr. Lirio became a dentist, he was a nurse. As a nurse he leamed about the importance of listening to people, helping them feel comfortable and how to respectfully communicate in a way that they can understand complicated information.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT YOUR JOB?
I am a family dentist. I have found that being a family dentist does not mean that I “work” with families, but rather I have the privilege of becoming a part of the families I work with. In a way, it is both a blessing and a curse. We celebrate babies being born, graduations, marriages, and other wonderful life events. We also feel the “gut punch” when our families experience illness, injury, and loss Other than meeting my wife and having a family of my own, becoming a family dentist is the best thing to ever happen to me.
