Dr. Stephanie Fanelli

Dr. Stephanie Fanelli was born and raised in Bronx, NY. One can say she is a true New Yorker as she has never strayed too far from home- completing all her education and training in NY. Dr. Stephanie graduated from Marist College with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences. She completed her dental school education at New York University College of Dentistry, and then completed her pediatric dentistry training close to home at Montefiore Medical Center. 

Dr. Stephanie’s positive dental experience as a child is what sparked her interest in dentistry. Once Dr. Stephanie entered dental school, she soon realized that she wanted to pursue her career in pediatric dentistry. She strives to make every dental experience just as fun and positive for her patients, so that they will lead a life of optimal oral health (and maybe become a dentist too!). Dr. Stephanie is happy to be a part of Valley Pediatric Dentistry because VPD provides a caring and comfortable environment for a positive visit! 

In her free time, she likes reading, trying new restaurants, traveling, using her Peloton, cuddling with her dog—Piper, and spending time with her friends and big Italian family!
