Dr. Alysa Nedell

What I love most about dentistry is building relationships with my patients and making them feel like an active part of their care. I believe in taking the time to listen, explain, and work together to create a treatment plan that fits each patient’s individual needs and goals.
I grew up in New York City before heading to the University of Michigan, where I graduated with honors with a degree in Biopsychology, Cognition, and Neuroscience and a minor in Art & Design. I loved Michigan so much that I stayed to earn my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree there as well (Go Blue!)
My background in art continues to influence the way I practice dentistry, combining creativity and attention to detail with a love of problem-solving. It has also shaped my particular interest in cosmetic dentistry, where I love finding thoughtful ways to improve both the health and appearance of a patient’s smile.
After dental school, I returned to New York City to complete a General Practice Residency at Woodhull Hospital in Brooklyn, where I gained experience caring for patients with a wide range of dental and medical needs. My training reinforced my love for comprehensive dentistry, lifelong learning, and building meaningful relationships with my patients.
My newest chapter has brought me to Puerto Rico, and I’m so excited to now call the island home and become part of the community at Dorado Dental Wellness.
Outside of the office, you can usually find me running, painting, traveling, or indulging in a sweet treat - because even dentists believe in a little balance!
