Meet Dr. Jill Varriale Goncalves

Background

Dr. Varriale grew up on Long Island, New York, and attended Binghamton University – graduating with honors. After graduating dental school at University of Pennsylvania, she was accepted into New York University's orthodontic residency program where she received her certificate in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. Throughout her orthodontic residency, she received training in multiple fields including Invisalign, lingual braces, orthognathic surgery cases, and more. She also studied the biology underlying tooth movement and published her award-winning research in the Journal of Dental Research, one of the field's top journals. After completing her residency, she pushed hard to attain the highest plateau in orthodontic excellence by passing the written, oral and clinical board of orthodontics – becoming a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. Although board certification was voluntary, and involved a lot of training and hard work, she did it to know for sure she had achieved the best possible training in orthodontics. Now she has the assurance that she is treating her patients at the highest standard in orthodontics.

She lives right here in Astoria, Queens with her husband Marcus, daughter Viviana and son Cameron. In her spare time, she enjoys playing violin, piano, tennis, trying out new restaurants and staying active in the community. She LOVES Astoria! She also continues to attend regional and national conferences to make sure she is always up to date with the latest research and technology.
