Shaina DiMariano, DDS, at DiMariano Family Dentistry

About this Nominee

Meet Dr. DiMariano, a shining example of resilience and community spirit. In 2007, she purchased a struggling dental office just before the Great Recession hit. Despite immense financial pressure and fewer people going to the dentist, she persevered—not just by providing superior dental care, but by investing in what mattered most: people. A devoted mother and proud employer of nine women, she built a thriving practice grounded in compassion, respect, and community service. Nearly 20 years later, her practice stands strong—an inspiring testament to grit, grace, and generosity. Dr. DiMariano isn’t just creating smiles—she’s building a stronger community, one patient at a time.
