Dr. Anthony Agosto, DDS
Dentist
I’m Dr. Anthony Agosto, a Brooklyn native with a knack for all things teeth. My curiosity for dentistry sparked at a young age while watching Hermey the Elf operate on toys in a very well-known Christmas movie. A dream became a reality when I was accepted in to the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, one of the nation’s top dental institutions. Following dental school, I completed a two-year residency in general practice at Woodhull Medical Center, where I served as chief resident for the department. I am very fortunate and lucky to represent the Latino community as a Puerto Rican dentist, a rare breed in the field. I’ve always aspired to be a dentist by the people, for the people because of my heritage and dedication to the borough I love most.
Aside from being a dentist, I am a father of two mini-dachshunds and a self-proclaimed Iron Chef. You can find me trotting throughout the five boroughs trying all the food and experiences this city has to offer.
I have a mouth full of dental work and sensitive teeth, and I'm always a bit terrified of cleanings and check ups. I had my first appointment at Leaf Dental today, and I saw Linda, Sherry and Dr. Rafiq - it was a fantastic experience, start to finish.
The space is calm and welcoming, and the team that worked on me was very understanding of my nerves, careful and gentle. Plus, completely effective. Stains on old dental work are gone, and they even replaced a lost composite filling within my appointment time.
It is a massive relief to have a new dental practice that I know will take such great care of me.
