Dr. Gigi's Corner
DR. GIGI'S THOUGHTS...
Hello! My name is Dr. Gigi Algenio (pronounced al-hen-yo). I am known by my patients as "Dr. Gigi". I graduated from the University of Michigan in 1997 and have been practicing general dentistry ever since. I began my career as an associate in various practices before opening my own in December of 2001. I am very happy with how the practice has grown over the years and am happy to have a loyal staff and patients that I can truly say I enjoy seeing day in and out!
What I enjoy most about my profession are the relationships that I build with my patients and working with them to have the healthiest mouth possible. My goal is to help each and every person achieve a solid foundation of healthy gums, teeth and bone for a lifetime. I especially enjoy working with families and watching their children start with healthy habits early in life. It’s very rewarding to watch a child get a new toothbrush after getting their teeth cleaned and the first thing they want to do is open it up right away and then brush their teeth! On the other hand, I do have the patients who haven't seen a dentist for a while, due to fear, a bad experience or just plainly haven't been in for a while because life got busy...so it may take some time, patience, and a bit of hand holding to get them back on track to taking care of themselves. In order to provide the best care to my patients, I attend continuing education courses throughout the year. I especially enjoy courses on smile enhancement! I strive to find new methods to treat not only their dental needs but also their wants.
When I am away from the office, I do enjoy walking outside, trying new foods and restaurants (I especially like salads of all sorts and Mexican food), watching the travel and food channel, traveling, scuba diving and spending time with my family.
I do hope to meet with you soon!
Yours in better dental health,
Dr. Gigi
