Dr. Al has called Brighton home since he was a kid. He grew up playing soccer at Brighton Schools and even met his future wife while in school. Dr. Al earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Maryland and his dental doctorate from the University at Buffalo, before joining the family practice in 1985. In 2003, he started working at a satellite office in Wyoming County, where he still sees patients every Tuesday. Dr. Al is a big Bills fan, loves Rita’s ice cream, and enjoys spending time with his wife, their four grown children, and his first grandchild, who calls him “Opa.” His wife helps manage the practice, and all three of their daughters have worked at the office over the years—especially his oldest, Jenna, who has worked alongside him for two decades.
