Dr Vincent Badali

Dr. Badali is a native of Rochester and is happy to return home after several years away for training. He graduated from Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine on Long Island after which he completed a General Practice Residency program at Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse. Dr. Badali found dentistry after an interesting career path. He grew up working in, and eventually managing, his parents’ pizzeria in Greece and at one time thought that he would lead an empire of pizza shops in Western NY. After graduating from college in 2000 he instead began a career in sales, which he did for too long and found uncomfortable almost from the very beginning. He then began to think about what he wanted to do with the rest of his life and decided that he would either be a TV weatherman or a dentist. He often jokes that he was choosing between the world’s two favorite types of people. Behind Dr. Badali’s love of dentistry is a drive for knowledge. He has been active in dentistry on the local and national level for years and feels that a clinician’s education is a never ending pursuit. He also has a strong belief that as a dental patient, knowledge is power and your input is valued, so proper consult and decision making are cornerstones of his dental practice.
