Dr Monica Rodrigo

I love dentistry! My work combines the wonders of science, art, technology, design, colors, and planning. I feel so fortunate to have found something that I love to do, that is the key for success. On top of it all, I spend my days making my patients smile! There’s really nothing better than that! I come from a family of doctors: my dad and brother are ear nose and throat doctors and my youngest brother is a radiologist. Joining a field that helps people live longer, healthier lives was in my blood. I like to reflect back to the place I grew up. The Universidad de los Andes is one of the most prestigious universities and the second oldest university in Venezuela. I graduated in 1998 with my degree in odontology and was ranked among the top ten students in my class. Later, in 2001, I was accepted for a residency program in periodontics at Universidad Central de Venezuela, where after graduation I established my practice and enjoyed working and teaching at the university for four years. I was very happy with all my activities in Venezuela but life has a funny way of changing and in 2007, I moved to the United States to start a new exciting era in my life, for sure the most important, the one of forming and growing my own family. Dentistry has always been a big part of my life and it shows in all the dedication I have put in it over the years. Recently, I have obtained my Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Texas Health and Science Center at San Antonio, one of the top dental universities in the United States.
