Meet our Doctors
Dr. Ion Rotaru, DMD
Dr. Rotaru holds degrees in biomedical sciences and in dental medicine. He is from Moldova and moved to the United States to practice dentistry. His work is general dentistry, which covers most of what a person needs over a lifetime: checkups and cleanings, fillings, crowns, root canals, and the ordinary repairs in between.
He is fluent in English, Romanian, and Russian, and sees patients in all three languages. His approach starts with the person rather than the chart: what is bothering you, what you have been putting off, what you can manage right now. He would rather spend an extra ten minutes explaining than have you agree to something you do not understand.

Dr. Miguel Lopez Jr., DMD, PA
Dr. Lopez was born in Cuba in 1964 and moved to Tampa when he was five. He earned a B.S. in zoology from the University of Florida in 1992, then a D.M.D. from Temple University School of Dentistry. He completed advanced education in general dentistry at the University of Miami and Jackson Memorial Hospital.
That training covered oral surgery, dental implantology, and hospital dentistry. In practice it means the harder cases can often stay in the building instead of being sent across town: surgical extractions, implants, and treatment for patients whose medical history makes a dentist slow down and check twice.
