His passion for dentistry, combined with a clear vision for the future, has been instrumental in driving the practice’s growth. Under his leadership, Lalor Family Dental has expanded significantly, while maintaining a strong commitment to providing exceptional care to every patient.
Mary John was born in Kerala, India, and spent much of her childhood in Nigeria before immigrating to the U.S. at age 12. She earned her bachelor of science degree from SUNY Binghamton before receiving her DDS from UB in 2000. She then completed a residency at Nassau University Medical Center, serving an additional year as chief resident. After working for three years as an associate doctor at another dental practice, John joined her husband at Lalor Family Dental in January 2006. In addition to providing exceptional care to her patients, John plays a vital role on the leadership team, helping to scale and strengthen the organization while fostering a strong, positive team culture.
