Marianna Knop, DDS

Dr. Marianna Knop graduated from NYU College of Dentistry. During her medical studies, Dr. Knop found that she also had considerable skill as an artist and craftsperson. This discovery changed her focus to dentistry, where this added talent is perfectly suited to making precise dental appliances. Even today she considers the work she does an art.
Living a fulfilling professional life, maintaining a healthful lifestyle, and keeping an optimistic outlook on life are ideals Dr. Knop both lives and regularly advocates to her patients. Because in order to take of others, you first need to take care of yourself.
