Mr Lisa M. Carvalho

Dr. Lisa Carvalho is native to the area having been raised in Fairhaven, where she attended Fairhaven High School. She continued her studies at Stonehill College and was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with honors. Dr. Carvalho then attended the Boston University School of Dental Medicine. In 2004, she graduated from dental school magna cum laude, and was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon national honor society which recognizes the highest achievement in dental studies among top graduates. She decided she wanted to further her knowledge and experience beyond dental school, and following graduation, Dr. Carvalho was accepted into Boston University’s Advanced Education in General Dentistry program. This is a very competitive program with many applicants and only twelve students are chosen to participate. This program offered an opportunity to study with dental specialists and concluded with her being awarded a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study. She joined Dr. L. Michael Gouveia in practice in January of 2007. Dr. Carvalho has wasted no time in seeking opportunities to contribute to members of the community by offering her skills to the less fortunate. She has participated in local Give Kids A Smile Day events and has volunteered on the Mobile Access to Care Van sponsored by the MA Dental Society helping to care for the city’s underserved children. In addition, she volunteered her time by serving as the Secretary of the Southeast District Dental Society for many years. She also served as the District Chair for the 2019-2020 fiscal year. This has enabled her to be part of the legislative process that governs dentistry for our state and allows her to stay abreast of present day issues while being a part of the decision-making process. In her spare time Dr. Carvalho stays very active enjoying biking, gardening and preserving her fresh vegetables.
