Celebrating Dr. Walter Collazo’s Legacy and Welcoming Dr. Robert Guanci to Guide Your Dental Care

After 36 years of dedicated service, Dr. Walter Collazo has retired from dentistry. He spent more than three decades caring for patients, building lasting relationships, and helping countless individuals achieve healthier smiles.

While we will certainly miss seeing Dr. Collazo in the office each day, we are incredibly grateful for the impact he has had on our patients, team members, and community throughout his distinguished career.

A Career Defined by Compassion and Excellence

For 36 years, Dr. Collazo has been more than a dentist to many of his patients. He has been a trusted advisor, a familiar face, and a partner in maintaining lifelong oral health. Through changing technologies, advancing treatment techniques, and generations of families who have entrusted him with their care, Dr. Collazo has remained committed to providing exceptional dentistry with a personal touch.

His dedication to patient care has helped shape the culture of our practice and establish the standard of excellence that continues to guide us today.

As Dr. Collazo recently penned to patients that “serving the community has been one of the greatest privileges” of his professional life. We are honored to have been part of that journey and thankful for the many contributions he has made over the years.

Continuing the Care You Know and Trust

Although Dr. Collazo’s retirement marks the end of an incredible chapter, patients can feel confident knowing that the practice remains committed to delivering the outstanding care they have always received.

Dr. Ava Arabshahi will continue providing the personalized, high-quality dentistry our patients have come to expect.

To ensure our patients continue to receive exceptional access to care and expanded treatment options, we have welcomed a new doctor, Dr. Robert Guanci, to our dental family. The addition of Dr. Guanci represents an exciting new chapter for our practice and reflects our ongoing commitment to investing in our patients and community.

Dr. Guanci will bring fresh expertise, advanced clinical training, and the same patient-centered philosophy that has defined our office for decades. We look forward to introducing them to our patients in the coming months.

Both our doctors share Dr. Collazo’s commitment to clinical excellence, patient comfort, and long-term oral health.

Honoring the Past, Embracing the Future

Retirement is a well-earned achievement, and we are thrilled for Dr. Collazo as he begins this next chapter of life. At the same time, we remain focused on carrying forward the values he helped establish while continuing to grow and evolve as a practice.
