Dr. Alyssa Ricci was born and raised in south Florida in a fun-loving Cuban family. After spending six years in Virginia and three years practicing in North Carolina, Dr. Ricci and her husband Jonathan decided it was time to move back home so that they could raise their two beautiful daughters alongside their family and childhood friends. They have loved becoming a part of the Doral community and have been blessed to be able to call Doral home for the last 4 years.
Since she was a middle schooler, Dr. Ricci had her heart set on becoming an Orthodontist because of the joy and confidence a transformed smile gave her. She strives to instill that same joy and confidence in her patients today. Nothing makes her happier than creating beautiful smiles, both literally and figuratively. Dr. Ricci says, “Orthodontics doesn’t just feel like a job, it feels like my calling. I am blessed to be in this profession that I love so much!”
